Be careful, this Birther movement is getting out-of-hand and somebody may get hurt. Just saying.

I looked closer into the Obama Birth Certificate controversy. Usually the requisite link on snopes should be enough to debunk it. But if you dig deeper, sure, there are more details and more questions emerge. For example, his birth certificate doesn't have a photo, and it wasn't until recently that Hawaii started having primary and secondary birth certificates like most states have now. Or if you look at that newspaper birth announcement, perhaps that newspaper offered the announcements as a service to people wanting to claim citizenship.
But let's assume he was born outside the US. So what? Obama has lived in the US for at least 30 years, been a professor at Harvard, and distinguished in many other ways. Isn't he a natural-born American in spirit? Isn't the spirit of that Constitutional clause to make sure the President doesn't have any hidden familial loyalties to other nations? Look, his relatives in Kenya are still living in shacks... Obama doesn't give a crap about any country except America.
There's millions of children of illegal aliens born on US soil who are naturalized citizens now. Are you saying you'd rather give those kids a better shake at being president than Obama, who's already proven himself as a good American citizen.
Well you could say, "if we make an exception for Obama then the whole Nation falls apart." First of all, we're not "making an exception." If we are, we are doing so unwittingly. And if that becomes the norm in the future, again, so what? We still wouldn't be able to have Arnold Schwarzeneggar as President. Instead of the Right trying to shove through Birther bills, why don't they try to Amend the Constitution for Arnold.
