I am unaware she had any policies. American Politicians do not have policies. They run for election based on 'personality', sound-bites, and money.

In fact two of my 'pet hates' are:

1. All American Politicians.
2. Sweeping generalisations.

Did thay not ask him to prove it once? and him did not offer any??????

He did, a birth certificate.

So do you think this image is a fake then?

I ask because I genuinely don't know, but it looks real enough to me. I don't know what else he's supposed to do. 49 year old copies of Hawaiian newspapers should be a matter of public record and not easy to change too. Though it does remind me a bit of 1984.

There have been Kenyan birth certificates too....

The certificate in your link is a reissue of a short birth certificate - I think what people would like to see is the original hand written full long form birth certificate.

Some American's feel rightly or wrong that the short issue birth certificate is a forgery because it has Obama's father's race listed as African when they think it should say Negro as birth certificates did in the early 1960s. African is a fairly new term on birth certificates,

There were reports that the long form birth certificate had been destroyed in a fire - then reports that it hadn't.

If it's there why don't they just publish it and be done with it?

It would shut a lot of people up.

the other thing is birth announcements in the local press when he was born.

I don't think anything would shut the "birthers" up. They are mostly nuts.

I don't like most of her views, but can't comment on her policies as there don't appear to be any.

I like all this birth certificate stuff! It's like an episode of the X-Files. I remember when the one you've linked to above came out, then people found the Australian one that the forger based the fake Kenyan one on:

You'd have thought that the forger would have least changed the book and page numbers etc.

I agree with NDG, you could produce a video of Obama being born with palm trees and surfers in the background and nutters would still try and say that the third surfer from the left looked Kenyan.

I know you weren't asking me, but I can't find many of Sarah Pailin's views or policies that I personally agree with.

She's anti same-sex marriages (I'm not), pro-creationism being taught in schools (I disagree) anti-abortion even in the case of rape (I'm not), pro-dealth penalty (I'm not)... I could go on.

Which was precisely my point. Like old Cleaver down below, some people seem to get their information about Sarah Palin where they once got it about George Bush - from the collective wisdom based on 'jokes'
told on The News Quiz.

I've no particular brief for la Palin - but I do have for informed opinions over groupthink.

Well done. Half of those are true. That's a pretty good score for such burning certainty.
