Have you seen proof that Hawaii was ever legally recognized as the 50th state? I haven't, so how do we know it wasn't all a big fraud? Have you seen the documents? I think it deserves to be investigated. This type of thinking - or lack thereof - is exactly what drives this "birther" movement that doesn't want to go away. Now Donald Trump has jumped comb-over first into the wacky fray, going on Fox News and anywhere else that will have him in questioning the authenticity of President Obama's Hawaii birth certificate, pledging his own investigation and wondering why the President doesn't give more information. I know why Obama doesn't respond - the accusations have been too stupid to dignify with a response. Trump gets taken seriously as a potential Presidential candidate while Republican leaders are reluctant to take a stand against either the birther movement or those who refuse to believe Obama is a Christian and not a Muslim. (Why does his religion matter anyway?) The sad thing is that even if Trump turns up no more birthplace evidence than the other crackpots have, he probably will have gotten a big bounce in the ratings for The Apprentice. The world is beset by real problems. President Obama's birth certificate is not one of them.
