Not to stir the pot or anything, but where was this outrage when Bush (Jr. or Sr.) didn't present a birth certificate? Clinton? Reagan? Mike, you say Clinton & Carter didn't have this issue - how do you know? What if it never was an issue b/c they're white w/ southern accents? I'm not saying you're racist, I'm just saying that the possibility exists that its only an issue to begin with because he's black (or a socialist, take your pick). Think about this: what if someone during the 1992 elections put forward the charge that Clinton was born in France, and wasn't actually a citizen? He'd have been laughed out of the building, and national news would have never covered it, IMO.
