tIme for Birthers to move on, nothing here, IT'S OVER!

My second hurdle is the source. If know one knows who wrote the original article, or if it is someone like Rush Limbaugh then the credibility factor takes a dive.

My third, obstacle is whether or not there is any proof offered that I can verify in the article. If the tone is angry, bitter, and frustrated, or if the author is willing to to forsake any truth to make a dollar; its about the kiss of death to the author. Or, in search of spreading proof less lies is the author quoting “unknown sources say”, or “reliable sources say”, etc.

My fourth and final criteria is is the author offering violence or inciting violence or being a racist or religious bigot. Like this article for example.

Should the article fail the above like this article I just kind of note the author etc. and mentally cross them off.

What is the basis for your belief? Please spell it out and document it.

For months now across bloggersville, and… now the issue is surfacing in main line media outlets as well, American citizens–– yes, the ones who voted for you… and the ones who did not–– are 'bewildered' that you feel the need to pay money (in the midst of a recession) to three major law firms to make sure that the American people, who you wish to serve, cannot have access to your birth records in Hawaii or your college transcripts. Speculation is running rampant that you received aid as a foreign student. So, instead of relishing in your victory, those who supported you are having to confront these allegations daily…without documentation or ammunition to counter the claims.

Americans believe you when you say you 'love this country'. However, to allow this birth certificate brouhaha to reach the Supreme Court on December 5, causes many to question your love for the country you want to lead. Why would you allow this issue to proceed to the Supreme Court, knowing the national scab has not fully healed from the Bush vs Gore election? Unfortunately, Mr. President-elect, whichever decision is handed down by the Justices, will not make this issue go away. And, quite frankly, a Constitutional crisis may be imminent… which could further divide an already divided nation.

I know this birth certificate issue may seem trivial in the scheme of things: National Security briefings, world threats, picking a cabinet, an economic crisis looming large… but to many of our fellow Americans, 'nothing' is more important than the Constitution of the United States. Consequently, you Sir, are the only one who can bring closure to the issue at this juncture.

So, please Mr. Obama… for the sake of all the people who supported and voted for you… and, also to quiet (once, and for all) the skeptics, naysayers, and people who already deem your presidency 'illegitimate', do like Senator John McCain did, and present your birth certificate to the American people today.

Our prayer is that you will do the right thing, put an end to this nonsense… so America can come together and tackle the real issues that face this country.
