White House releases Obama birth certificate
(CNN) The White House released President Obama's original birth
certificate Wednesday.
The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman
Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president
was born in the United States.
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday, Trump repeated his
doubts and said he had been told the certificate was "missing."
A new CNN investigation revealed earlier this week what most analysts have
been saying since the "birther" controversy erupted during the 2008
presidential campaign: Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.
While the president has made light of the controversy, the question
remained political red meat for some of his critics. A recent CNN/Opinion
Research Corp. poll showed that nearly 75% of Americans believe Obama was
definitely or probably born in the United States. More than four in 10
Republicans, however, believe he probably or definitely was not born in
America.
The U.S. Constitution says only "natural born" citizens can become
president - a vague clause that some members of the birther movement
contend disqualifies Obama because, they insist, he was born outside the
United States.
Skeptics contend, among other things, that Obama was born in his father's
home country of Kenya.

I'm guessing that this will NOT end the ignorance.
In my opinion, some people are still struggling with this black president
thing.
