I did not even read the whole article before I was utterly put-off by the reporters views. I have seen the various reasons for why people want this brought up and why they want the Supreme Court to have a look at it. I would say that if they feel it needs to be done to allow closure, than how difficult shoud it be for the President-elect to provide ALL records asked for?

What bothers me is a reporter writing that people should go, if desired, to a website link and 'read up on the latest doomed lawsuit.'

Really? Is that what it is? How many articles have to be read or news broadcasts shown about how the MEDIA sways peoples thoughts and ideas, and still we have reporters telling people of America that this is a waste of time and not to bother with it as if to simply brush it aside?

I would like to say to the writer of the article, David Weigel, that you should be a reporter and keep your views to yourself. I think that if those people have a question or problem that it should be addressed properly and by those whom have the power to do so. I do not think that the decision is yours to make or to pursuade people to your side on a journalistic crusuade to put it down.

I would like to remind the people, for and against it, that this is for the highest office in the land, the President of the United States of America. If his credentials are somehow in doubt, it should be investigated. Would it not be better to do so now than find out later that there was something wrong? And 'yes' to those of you whom have stated that these things should have been investigated long ago, I agree. But if not for public outcry or the citizens of this country watching what the government does or does not do, will anything change? Do you not recall the recent monies being given to AIG and their management team going on vacation with the bailout money? YOUR money?

Ask Mr. Obama to come to Washington and present all the required information once and for all and be done with it. There will be no more questions.

I AGREE

There are numerous questions as to Obama's citizen status raising suspicion and doubt about Obama constitutional qualification to be president. To settle these questions Mr. Obama must produce proof of citizenship!

Documents that must be produced include;
(a) a certified copy of "vault" (original long version) birth certificate;
(b) certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham;
(c) a certified copy Certification of Citizenship;
(d) a certified copy Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity;
(e) certified copies of admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and
(f) certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing his name from Barry Soetoro.

The liberal Democrats and their lapdog media don't give a rat's ass about the Constitution. All they care about is seeing their Messiah anointed to the throne. These people remind me of Jim Jones' followers at the People's Temple in Guyana. Scary...

This is an editorial not a news report. Also, when you read that article about the media swaying peoples thoughts and ideas how did you know to believe that? Perhaps you were reading an editorial.

Then who DOES care about the Constitution and US law? Certainly not the Republican administration of the last 8 years.

First, thank you for the politeness when responding. I wish to make clear, with regards to my remarks about the media, whether I read Editorials or an actual 'news' report, these are people who work for a 'Media' station, whether they are left or right wing, I do not care. The point is that, as a people, we base our decision and pass our judgements by the information that is provided to us through the Media. Granted, it is the viewers final decision to decide whether or not to agree, but you would have to agree, even as I do, that when something is pounded into your head long enough, you start to say,'well, it must be true' and just go along with it. I am not saying that it is right or wrong whichever way anyone decides to go, but the media is very powerful. For ANYONE to make a remark that this is 'the latest doomed lawsuit' makes one feel that it automatically is a waste of time.

Also, I would be the first one to tell you that I can't stand the current President, Bush, and can not wait for his departure. I think, personally, that he has destroyed this country by just watching things overseas for 8 years. You can't take care of the world until you take care of your own home first.

So please, do not take me wrong about this article. I am NOT against Obama, I just want the truth. Thanks.

President-elect Obama and the government authorities are following the correct legal channels to address this challenge to his citizenship status. This is a fact. There is no evidence that he is withholding any documents or refusing to participate in any inquiries despite all the passionate opinions by members of the public or media. Those involved in making the final determination will also consider the fact that Obama's mother was a natural-born citizen herself which confers a status on him automatically by parentage regardless of where he was born.

We should let the proper procedure take its course.
