I don't think that the '61 doc would end it. You can look on the board and see the shopping list that will follow if they appease the birthers, clear back to his kindergarden records. The whole thing is a fishing expedition. Most of which has nothing to do with eligibility.
Well hells bells, Rimmy, you can call me a 'birther' all day long but I'll shut up and move on if they disclose the '61 long form. Sure, you'd have a few kooks who would stick with it, but I'm not a kook and I just want to see that the man was born in HI. I am NOT convinced by the COLB and I just want to see the real deal.
I would MUCH rather object to Obama on his incredible policy and philosophical errors and not on the weird stuff. But to me the matter is compelling and I simply want to see that he was born in a US hospital--that is ALL. I suspect Lurker, Jump and most of the rest of the guys here are with me on this.
FWIW, I have talked to some older kin and they all said that, even in liberal Seattle (remember, the Dunhams had resided on Mercer Island until just before Barry came along) giving birth to a mulatto/bi-racial baby in 1961 was a HUGE, HUGE deal. My mom graduated from Ballard High in 1955 and was married to Dad by '61 and she assured me that for young girls of that era to be with a 'negro' was "unthinkable". **And, BTW, Mom is a Unitarian, liberal Democrat who actually voted for Obama, lol! (There, I said it, lol!)
