All Sen. Obama has to do is produce a real birth certificate, but he won’t do it.

I’ve been wondering about this. Doesn’t somebody in the government have to vet people who run for President? The Secret Service maybe? I mean, the Constitution (whatever it’s worth these days) still clearly says you have to be born in the USA. So I would think that somebody, somewhere actually checks. Do you fill out some kind of application to run for President? Or can I just start running myself tomorrow?

As for the Big O, it wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL if his white-hating, West-hating mamma went out of her way to make sure her Little Man was NOT a US citizen. For her, it would have the juicy frisson of rebellion. Lefties always love empty gestures of defiance.
