Sparky that is how a candidate is deemed qualified -- their party vets them. Ask any state's Secretary of State -- they sure as hell don't do it. I would imagine asking them to complete an application, or providing a BC is not any part of what the DNC does.
I am not saying he wasn't born here. I would like to see the matter put to bed though. This may be the avenue for it, it may not be. The last officer who tried this got his orders rescinded. We'll see if that plays out the same way again.
Obama cannot controll where he was born nor could he controll who his parents were. Like all people as a kid he had to believe what his family told him about his blood line and ancestors.
It may have been his family that played around with his identity to get him scholarships to good schools, perhaps he had 4-5 birth certificates to be used to get grants and or admitted into any number of schools.
Some say he has any number of #SS numbers, some say he changed his first name, this is the first time in American history that a complete unknown has become President and I can understand the skepticism of his past that even he may not know or was too young to remember.
I cannot get that song out of my head, " Who are you, toot toot, toot, too,
We really want to know"
Anyone ever read the Prince and the Pauper, been years for me but I see some similarity's here.
