It's the classic "Frog in a pot of water" story. If you put a frog in a pot of hot water, he jumps out immediately and is saved. Put him in a pot of cold water and set it on the stove, the frog goes for the bottom. As he gets warmer he thinks a little bit more won't hurt. Then he is dead. Whether Obama was born on American soil does seem to be a dead issue like the frog, as LindyBill suggests. I've given up fighting the issue, and I don't know that it's worth anybody's effort now. I do find it peculiar that he has failed to produce the simplest of proofs, that he could drown the issue forever by releasing a genuine birth certificate. It seems so easy and profound, it's a wonder he did not do it on day one. How does he even get a passport without one?
