We need Senator Obama to vanquish these allegations by providing the American public proof that he is not part of an elaborate scam.
Show us a certified vault copy of your birth certificate, so that we may vote you into office without reservation.

Go to factcheck.org and see the original birth certificate for your self. Read the article. Hope this clears all this bs up. I also believe the McCain campaign would have used this issue against Obama if it were in fact true that Obama wasn''t born a USA citizen.
How many times did he say McCain was right?
Mr Obama had a hard time getting himself and what he wanted to express across.
John McCain is a disgrace to the party (as are those in the current administration.) His campaign ads are full of outright lies and his dramatic theatrics are underhanded and insulting.
I have nothing against Sarah Palin but to put her on the ticket was a devious and well thought out marketing stunt. I was fooled by these tactics when GW Bush first ran. Not this time!
