Here are some thoughts about the Obama birth certificate issue from the blog Macsmind that I agree with. At this point it really doesn't matter where Obama was born because of the chaos that would result if it turned out he wasn't born in the US. My guess is that he was born in Hawaii, but for some reason he won't release the vault copy of his birth certificate. It could be that there is something embarrassing on it. But more likely it is a rope-a-dope strategy that involves letting right-wingers make themselves look ridiculous. I also agree that no matter where he was born, Obama's outlook is foreign to most Americans.
