Questioning the birth qualification of a Presidential candidate is nothing new. It seems to me to be irrelevant in the context of the real world, and certainly Obama has served the US well in the past, with no quibbles from the choir. I can remember when Barry Goldwater was a Presidential candidate, there were those who thought he should be disqualified by virtue of the fact that although he was unquestionably born in Arizona, at the time of his birth Arizona was not a State! As W C Fields (an irascible atheist) said when asked why he was reading the Bible during his last illness, "Just looking for loopholes"
I come from a Brit background, where the prevailing thought at election time was to vote against the incumbent and 'let the other guys have a go'. I'm of that same mind now, and I defy anyone to say that there is any possibility that Obama could do a worse job than the incumbent. End of rant, my apologies for getting into national politics.
