Its not a routine thing to see the presidents birth certificate...as a matter of fact I cant remember ever seeing a US Presidents birth certificate or it every being an issue until Obama....I do not wonder why it took so long but I do wonder why so many people insist he isnt a natural born american...IMO people just want to find something to b**ch about, something to discredit him, some way to make themselves think he isnt a qualified person to be President.....It was never an issue for me personally either. I thought all the hoopla surrounding his birth certificate was unfounded in the first place...I read this morning and found it interesting that the President even bothered to release the long form birth certificate of his when he has better things to do.....
