And who's that other guy in the White House? As George Bush continues his vanishing act, Barack Obama steps into the spotlight, two months early, to calm a jittery nation.

    Obama could be ‘legally’ a citizen of Hawaii and at the same time not being a ‘natural born citizen’

    TomRitchford said:

    “Could it be that they know the whole thing's ridiculous and don't want to seem like idiots? Occam's Razor and all that?”

    But then why the media has not said that plainly? I guess that thy have not said it because they do not have seen the ‘vault birth certificate’.

    And remember that Hawaii allowed for foreign born children to be registered as born in Hawaii in certain circumstances. Therefore there is the possibility that Obama is ‘legally’ a citizen of Hawaii and at the same time not being a ‘natural born citizen’ as required by the Constitution to be President.

    Obama has not published his “vault birth certificate”.

    Is he not fueling the whole controversy by not doing it?
