Obama’s Citizenship Legit

As if we haven't known that all along. I'm really just posting this with the hope that it might help a birther see the light.

On Television and Radio, Talk of Obama’s Citizenship - Media Decoder Blog - NYTimes.com:

"The conspiracy theory that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya, his father’s home, first took root among some elements of the right wing last year. In response, the Obama campaign scanned the candidate’s “certification of live birth” from Hawaii’s department of health and published it on the Internet. It confirms that Mr. Obama was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. Numerous third parties have examined the birth certificate and concluded, as the Annenberg Center’s nonpartisan FactCheck.org Web site did last year, that it “meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.”"

Count me in on that and add me to the group that isn't especially trustful about the doctor's opinion as to what kind of treatment I should be given.
