Which is why everyone asks for the birth certificate of the guy who was born in the Panama Canal zone. Or had a father born in Mexico. Those guys never got past those questions. Has nothing to do with assuming that a black guy must be illegitimate.
The GOP demanded to see Romney's birth certificate. He will show it to anyone.
anyways, now to the 'birther' issue.
It all started with Obama's book that claimed he was born in Kenya. Someone saw it, told people, and now they are all convinced he was born in Kenya.

Then Obama played a very shrewd game; refusing to produce a birth certificate and let the conspiracy theories roll. all to bring it out at the height of the birther mania to make his detractors look like idiots. Now Romney tells jokes about the whole situation. So would I.
