If at the beginning you had doubts... ok, fine - might be able to give someone a pass on checking the birth certificate. It's quite the coincidence that the first real challenge of this type comes for the first non-white president... but ok... rules are rules. But now after all that's happened?
He was allowed to run. Then he released the birth certificate to the public. It was verified by independent agencies, the health department in Hawaii, the (republican) governor of Hawaii and the supreme court. Also, the birth announcement printed in the Hawaii newspaper that could only have come directly from the hospital was released.
If all of this is not enough to satisfy someone, then one can only assume they are racist because what else are they possibly basing this on, other than the color of his skin? It's the only explanation that I can come up with that fits. Honestly - I'd like to know where there are any possible holes in his story.
