Mr. Obama has produced no legal evidence of his being born in Hawaii, despite what this silly article says. I have no particular reason to believe that he was born elsewhere, other than his repeated lies about nearly everything else [but, hey, he's a politician; you know that such folks are lying when their lips move].
The unsettling part is that this issue, if indeed it is one, is ridiculously easy for Mr. Obama to lay to rest. All he needs to do is to provide the Federal Election Commission with a certified paper copy of his Hawaii birth certificate. The fact that he has not done so is driving the rumor mill.
And, Mr. Owens, the Constitutional requirement that he be a natural-born citizen is not what I would term a technicality. If you do not like the Constitutional provision, fine: make an effort to get rid of it. in the meantime, it is the highest law in the land. Live with it.
Mr. McCain is not without his own troubles with respect to being a natural-born citizen. The opinions of lawyers are quite irrelevant: it is the opinion of judges that matter.
