In pre 1972 (73?) Hawaii, anyone with a child apparently under a year old could get a short form essentially on request. That allowed sailors "by blows" to become legitimized quite easily, even after some time had passed. <br /><br />Two, the maternal grandmother's statement that she was present when Barak was born. She has never been outside Kenya. <br /><br />Three, the absolute acceptance by the African media that Obama was born in Kenya. Either the African media is remarkably credible, or the American media is. <br /><br />Four, the amount of money that has been spent to sweep the issue under the rug. Legitimate long forms are less than $100, or a grand or so with an expert appraisal. Some claim Obama's campaign has spent between ten and fifty million to sweep the issue under the rug. <br /><br />Five, Gibbs body language while he talks about it. Whether it's long habit or just this issue, I have seen liars lying before. <br /><br />Bottom line - the issue needs clarification. It's Obama's place to do what is necessary to do that. The sooner the issue is laid to rest, the better.<br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://casaextrano.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-44159312047148250022009-07-28T16:34:50.320-04:002009-07-28T16:34:50.320-04:00I'll offer a different opinion.
