WND.COM reports that they have raised $35,000 dollars in in 72 hours to fund a billboard campaign to "raise visibility of the issues surrounding Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility yesterday continued to attract eager donors".
"On all of these matters related to the disclosure of sensitive information, I wish I could say that there is a simple formula," Obama said. "But there is not. These are tough calls involving competing concerns, and they require a surgical approach. But the common thread that runs through all of my decisions is simple: we will safeguard what we must to protect the American people, but we will also ensure the accountability and oversight that is the hallmark of our constitutional system. I will never hide the truth because it is uncomfortable. I will deal with Congress and the courts as co-equal branches of government. I will tell the American people what I know and don’t know, and when I release something publicly or keep something secret, I will tell you why."
"Joseph Farah, WND's editor and chief executive officer, reacted to Obama's statement...."This is a guy who has no trouble turning over sensitive documents from previous administrations, but he still refuses to release for public view something seemingly so innocuous as his own birth certificate," said Farah. "This is a double-standard wide enough to sail the Queen Mary 2 through. Statements like this need to be challenged by a vibrant and free press. And that's what our 'Where's the birth certificate?' billboard campaign is all about."
My guess is that he probably does qualify but there may be something on the certificate that would lead to something that doesn't favor Obama's political career in some way.
I mean think about it. Obama is spending all this money to keep from having to produce that certificate when all he has to do is spend $20 to produce it for the public to see. It could be that maybe there are names on it that he wishes to protect their identity for legitimate reasons. I really don't know. It is all guess work but it is interesting that there is something that he is hiding whether legitimate or not. If he continues to keep this a secret it seems that it only produces more concern and skepticism. Maybe he should give an explanation as to why the next time he is asked.
