I don't really run with the tin foil hat crowd so I must admit I'm not sure of what's the latest in the birther movement. What outstanding issues and questions still exist?

I'm not really up on it myself but, the last I heard the only thing that's been produced is a live birth certificate which is issued by a doctor and only indicates a live child has been born. If she had given birth outside of the country she would have needed to see a doctor upon returning to the States in order to prove a child had been born to her. Only a doctor can declare a person born or dead. In order to get a birth certificate she would need the live birth certificate and some proof from the hospital that the child was born there on a given day. If Obama was born out of country she would have to provide proof of her age and own citizenship along with the live birth document in order to be issued the birth certificate. Also Obama traveled as a young man to some Muslim country that at the time didn't accept American passports. I don't remember the name of the country but, in any case it is thought that Obama must have at least possessed a passport from his Father's country or the one he went to grade school in(Indonesia?) at that point in his life.
