These are too long to summarize meaningfully here, but not too long to be read in just a few minutes. After reading these rebuttals there should be no doubt in any reasonable person’s mind about this and therefore no “Birth Certificate Controversy.” Continued circulation of conspiracy theories on Obama’s place of birth discredits conservatism and the many legitimate criticisms of his disastrous policies. Please forward these links to anyone interested in a clear, objective examination of the question.
