Because it has been precedent for public officials to handle the matter. Unless you can show me any other president in history that has had to publicly produce a birth certificate?

There you go being dumbfuk again. How exactly can something be precedent and never done before?

Basically what you're saying is that if a previous president had to publicly produce his birth certificate (in you eyes) that would validate asking Obama for his? Sorry Bro, that's an irrational argument. Let me help you out. Has there ever been a president where his eligibility status was in question? No. Is Obama's eligibility in question? Yes. Was Obama's eligibility ever verified? No.

Trusting a "public official" over direct evidence is not only completely foolish, but highly irresponsible. As citizens, we have a duty to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. It's that simple. Anyone that says we should trust government officials is a complete moron. Government officials lie and mislead the public on a daily basis. It was the failure and complicity of government officials that allowed Obama's eligibility to NOT be verified (leaked CRS memo). So now we're suppose to trust them? yeah ok
