Is Obama Legitimately President?

Or a secret Muslim Kenyan impostor? It takes an awful lot of effort to get an Inhofe spokesperson to say no. I'd wager that a good half of the GOP base believes that Obama is a Muslim non-American. That's why the GOP in Washington cannot simply dismiss this. Still, I see no reason why Obama should not produce the original copy of his birth certificate. Well: I can see a cynical one. This stuff just marginalizes the GOP more. Still, I have no doubt whatever that Obama was born in Hawaii, but believe in total transparency from politicians. So show us the original. And then we'll ask Palin to produce Trig's birth certificate and actual medical records and we'll all move on to the real work of stopping any kind of change in Washington.
