I saw the thread in Election 2008 about Obama's citizenship issue and
wondered if the DUmp was aware of it, sure enough

Bill Press going off on Obama's birth certificate this morning...
What is with this guy Press.... This is a non-issue. Obama is an american citizen. He has a passport and had to prove that he was a natural born citizen before running for president.

I don't get this idiot. I thought he was a dem? He was referring listeners to some article about the non-issue and gave a web address...

Why is he stoking the fire of the right wing. I've had it with him. I have to find another person to listen to in the am on my way to work!

1. He turned out to be
 kind of a douche. I used to listen to AAR on XM radio on the way to work but now their morning lineup is Bill Press and Lionel, both of whom pretty much suck. So now it's XM-NPR's Bob Edwards show for me.

But really, why is Bill Press such a douche?

44. He is a Hillbot of the first order,
 so its not surprising that he would be talking about crap like this. I usually catch about the last half hour of his program but if he keeps doing that I might just skip him and wait for Stephanie Miller.

3. I think this whole thing is silly
 but having a passport is not proof that you're a natural born citizen.

And to whom did he have to "prove" he was a natural born citizen before running?

Honestly, I don't know why he just doesn't release it and stop all this speculation.

45. Maybe what is being hoped
 is that we will be able to get down to the important issues that face this country.

I wish Senator Obama would release his birth certificate to. Wave it in the face of the Michelle Malkins, Ann Coulters, Billos etc. in this country, and say...

"There ya go...any other questions MORANS? Now, Americans are hurting and hungry and homeless. Americans and innocent Iraqis are dying in order to prove Bush's and McCain's manliness. Let's get to the REAL issues in this campaign".

73. That's just dumb
 good lord, if it were anybody else you guys would be screaming "What's he hiding?!?!"

Just release and get over it. Why allow it to become an issue of speculation? Frankly, I don't understand the objection to releasing it. It doesn't contain any private info.

74. Um, no.
 This is just a silly, stupid, racist attack against Obama, and a laugh riot watching people trying to make an issue out of it.

Without hate and hypocrisy what would a DUmbass have?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Oh my.

Oh oh my.

I don't know if anybody else detected the undercurrents here, but despite the edict passed down by my fellow alum Skins, it appears the Obamaite primitives and the supporters of the worthier Democrat candidate haven't smoked the peace-pipe yet.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I like that response.  The same thing with John Kerry.  If he had nothing to hide, why didn't he just release the records and end the controversy that was quickly sinking his campaign?

This isn't as big an issue, but if it's something thats going to hurt you, and you've got the documentation to just shut it down, then do it.
