All Parties Slightly More Convinced Obama was Born in U.S. after Viewing Video
Majority of all parties say it is not appropriate to further challenge Obama's place of birth
Flemington, NJ, April 27, 2011 – A new national study among 1,118 self-reported Democrats, Republicans and Independents revealed that all parties were slightly more convinced that President Obama was born in the United States after viewing a video in which he addressed the subject of his birth place.
The study was conducted earlier today by HCD Research to obtain Americans’ perceptions of a video in which President Obama addressed the subject of his birth place. The results were reported on its mediacurves.com website.
After viewing the video, all parties slightly increased their belief that President Obama was born in the United States from 90% to 93% among Democrats, 61% to 63% among Republicans and 79% to 80%. Furthermore, Americans indicated that it is not appropriate to further challenge Obama’s place of birth increasing from 86% to 89% among Democrats, 54% to 58% among Republicans, and 71% to 78% among Independents.
Among the findings:

RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
they need to make sure the birth certificate is real and not fake to show the public he is who he said he is.

I can't believe that there are still fact-proof idiots out there for whom this is an issue.

RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
Everyone who exposes themselves politically should provide a birth certificate
RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
i am of the opinion that this is an issue which has taken us away from what we need to do. and anyone who brings this issue up again should be charged with sedition and weakening our country from diverting our simple minded politicians from the task of rebuilding this country
RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
I think that he is a citizen or the US and people should leave it alone. I would feel bad if some one kept trying to make my citizen illegal.

Obama is a citizen , but according to his Grandmother , he was born in Kenya. As the so called certificates indicate, they show that Obama was issued a 'Certificate of LIVE birth ' from the State of HI and that is not the same as being born there.
And yes , though but a technicality it is still important from Constitutional legal requirement perspective. IMO no matter what is circulating around the internet , everything is subject to scrutiny from potential tampering with high technology, photoshop etc. My question is why has this been so long in coming ? It's like the failure by the FBI to release the video of the alleged jet that hit the Pentagon on 9/11( not years and years later) think about it . If you had nothing to hide ,why are you hiding 'it' ? Why not release it if for no other reason than to shut the skeptics up .

RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
i agree with what the president said. the racists in this country need to stop starting trouble.
RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
Passing a law to have all presidential candidates prove they were born in the US will not convince the lunatics and just pander to their insanity.
RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
That Obama felt it necessary to make that statement is an embarrassment to the entire nation. As Mr. Obama said, we have too many problems to waste time on such nonsense.
RE: Obamas Birth Certificate
Whether or not he was born IN the USA doesn't matter. He was born to a US citizen (his mother) and nothing else matters!
