The birther movement is basically centered in the far right’s disgust of interacial marriage,
Except that the "far right" leaders/originators of the birther movement were left-leaning Hillary Clinton-loving Democrats named Linda Starr and Philip Berg. Berg filed the first Birther lawsuit back in 2008, demanding an injunction to stop the Dem convention from going forward because he alleged that Obama was born in Kenya.
I don't think the birther claim is worth the energy at this point, other than to point out that I had to provide my birth certificate to get my 1st passport and my driver's license, so I don't think it's unreasonable to make the same request of our nation's President.. Unless his defenders think he should be above the rules that the rest of us have to live by

The state of Hawaii is satisfied with his birthplace. I recently had a patient who was born on two days - was home-birthed and her mother filed one birth certificate, her father another. Granted, this was 80 years ago, but the issue is the same.
We do the best that we can. Kenya blame us?

They're somewhat different issues because Obama only provided a "certification of live birth", not a state approved birth certificate. They're two separate things.. the birth certificate contains far more details, for example name of the hospital, name and signature of attending physician or attending nurse, identity of registrar who filed the birth certificate + other info. More details here http://www.saltandlightblog.com/1124/nro-no-real-obligation/
The evidence appears overwhelming that he was born in Hawaii, but why not show the birth certificate like the rest of us have to do if we want a passport? For that matter, he's the only President in memory who didn't allow his college transcripts to be released. Remember all the fun the media had over GWB's mediocre grades at Yale, until they obtained Kerry's transcripts to learn he did worse? Gore released his transcripts too from what I recall. What's Obama hiding? Maybe nothing, but given his campaign promises of transparency, he should live up to his promises, especially on things so basic. Seems Obama would welcome Hawaii’s release of any record in its possession about the facts and circumstances of his birth... it's just a bit weird.
Kenya blame us?
Thanks for the smile. I owe you one.

Obama's black father was born in Kenya.
Obama'a white mother was born in America.
Barack was born in Honolulu. A half breed.
Kenya uses Barack Obama for their bragging rights. Their media revers him. They selfishly don't consider him to be an American but a Kenyon. Kenya blame them?
If Obama's father had been Mexican, Â then Mexico would claim that he was the first Mexican president. This is cultural egocentricity. Not a conspiracy.
Technically, our fearless leader is half Causacian and half British Kenyon.
Both his parents were very educated, each, unfortunately, Â with numerous spouses and divorces. Both are deceased before their time. His mother died of uterine cancer in Honolulu, his father in a car accident. Apparently mom had a taste for dark meat. (no offense to my rapper peeps)
Barack himself is a life long bleeding heart liberal.
The birther movement is basically centered in the far right's disgust of interacial marriage, and this is their chance to play their own form of race card.
White America will never permit slaves to run the plantation. Blue bloods don't monkey around. They call a spade a spade. They actually want to curdle the bloods.They will not tolerate half breeds. They never have, going back to the Euorpean settlers mixing with the filthy savages called Kiowas, Apaches, Comanches, etc.
These are the roots of of the problem.
It Congo on like this if America is to survive.
