Barack Obama Shows His Birth Certificate

For several years people, called "Birthers" have been clamoring to see Obama's birth certificate. They'd done this because, in order to be President, the man, or woman, must have been born in the United States.

Obama, son of an American mother and a Kenyan father, raised in Indonesia for a while with an Indonesian step father, had the kind of unsettled childhood that would lead one to ask, "Where's your birth certificate."

Well, after many years of resisting this request, President Obama has finally shown it.

I can't really call this a "Rush Limbaugh rebuttal" as Limbaugh was never a birther. His comments about the birth certificate were along the lines of, "What's he hiding that he wont' show his birth certificate?"

Well, apparently nothing.

But one does have to wonder why, if he had it, he's never shown it before. (One wonders why Presidential candidates, just as a matter of formality, aren't required to turn this over before they even begin their candidate fund-raising. But then, Obama - and this has nothing to do with his race, as if would have been just the same as if he'd had a white father who was German, English or French) has been the only Presidential candidate to date with a parent who was not born in the United States.
