Maybe he just likes to savor the flavor of being a victim.

Then it's very nice of the RW to make him one.

>>Why doesn't he just produce it an end the ridiculous speculation. Millions of people have to go get copies of their birth certificate every year. You need one to get back into the country from Canada if you don't have a passport. Why is it so hard for him to just send someone to the courthouse and get it?

DMA -

I pay close attention to the news, and I hadn't heard about this so-called controversy until catching up on this thread. The discussion about whether the document is faked was apparently started at some point today.

So who says Obama is acting like a victim? What has he said or done to add to this discussion at all?

And wouldn't you say that if a situation should develop wherein there is some actual reason to doubt Obama's nationality, that he should be allowed to have more than, say, a few hours to come up with a certified copy?

Oh, wait. I just checked Obama's site, fightthesmears.com. So there's the copy of the certificate. It's a very small jpeg version, highly compressed, so it will naturally have all kinds of visible compression artifacts when viewed at higher resolutions.

There's just no "there" there.
