USA TODAY POLL: Majority of Americans are not sure OBAMA born in US

I truly believe that the majority of people who didn't vote for him want to believe he was not born in the United States. This is all in my opinion because he is an African Black man. This would not be an issue if he was white man. I truly believe that President Obama has his best interest in his heart and soul for the US but to many people in Government are trying to break him down. He is definitely pro-America in my opinion. If he wasn't he wouldn't have ran for President to begin with.

I am not so sure he was born in America. But like you said, the issue is his loyalty. And the LACK of loyalty to America is VERY WELL DOCUMENTED.

I think Obama is the most anti America president ever. If he in fact was born in the US then he is covering up some very big secret in his background. The man has spend a fortune covering up his past. We do not know anything about him only what his PR people would have us believe. In his campaign speech he constantly promised transparency in his president...what a joke there is nothing but a black cloud of suspicion surrounding this man and his agenda for the downfall of our country.

I think that it is because he is trying to turn America into a socialist country, especially who he considers rich. That would also destroy the economy and make it so that people would be afraid to work hard for fear they would make too much money. Of course, there would be exceptions like it used to be in Communist countries. I am sure that had he not tried to make America into a third rate nation and also if he were not considered the media darling because if you are African American you are given exceptions that no one else could, this suspicion would not arrive.

Right now where he was born is the very least of our worries. This man is the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States. He needs to be in Prison not in the white house. Any president that feels that it is appropriate to sent out assassination orders for American Citizens without any charges or Judicial proceedings is a felon himself. This is just TOO MUCH....

I do not think he is pro-American but I do believe he was born in Hawaii. I think he is allowing this issue to fester in order to divide the nation--a divided nation is easier to manipulate and conquer. I believe he was born in Hawaii but he spent part of his childhood abroad then back to Hawaii, a definitely foreign culture back then with different values. He is not "American" in his culture or his heart and might as well be from a foreign country. But I do believe he was born in America--he was just never taught to appreciate America and to love it. That shows in his actions and his policies.

I normally don't get into political discussions but this is all a bunch of b/s thast people like donald trump & people like him that just likes to keep stirring the pot. I am sick of hearing about this. Of course he was born in the u.s.a. He's too smart to try to pull something over like that. I have never seen such negativity toward a president before & i think it's awful. They want to blame him for things he had nothing to do with. I f they had wanted to be so negative about someone it should have been bUSH. hE;S THE ONE THAT GOT US IN SUCH A MESS TO START WITH.

The rumors persist because he wants them to and for no other reason. He spent an inordinate amount of money (last I heard, it was $2 million)to keep his and Michelle's records private. Mostly people wonder because we no longer have Christian holidays at the White House, but celebrate rather well for Ramadan and other Muslim holidays. He does things like forgetting to give a speech for Easter, one of our most important holidays, while giving several paragraphs to an Iranian holiday. In that speech he spoke gently to the people and told them that although things are hard there, maybe things will be better soon. He never thought to tell that to his own countrymen and women. He pulls in more radical people as 'czars' who are not accountable to anyone but him,which takes away enormous power from our Legislative and Judicial branches. When he visits Muslim countries, Michelle does not go. The rumor mills have speculated that she doesn't go there because women are thought of as second-class creatures and she might feel compelled to take a backseat. Of course, others say she doesn't go because our President is, indeed, a Muslim himself. But then, it only takes a word spoken or unspoken at the right (or wrong) time to make little doubts into big suspicions, which is why I can see no reason for any president to hesitate even a little to produce papers necessary to burn the rumors so the country can get on with real problems.

I guess that explains why Obama released his birth certificate today.

hey i did a fast poll to find out how many brits think cameron is REALLY a british citizen. well i didn't. i just made some figures up. but i think a real poll would probably get something quite close to this: definitely a british citizen - 20% probably a british citizen - 50% don't know and don't care - 20 % definitely not a british citizen - 10% and i know have a shocking new headline for the award winning daily drivel: Vast Majority of Brits Not Convinced that David Cameron is a British Citizen 80% of people are not sure whether blah blah blah to fill up as many column inches as we need on a very slow news day

If the majority of Americans don't believe Obama is an American citizen and still voted him in... Y'all American voters are weird and make weird choices. Just sayin'. Or maybe... "For what it’s worth, not everyone is convinced Trump was born in the USA either: 43% say he definitely was born here, and 20% say he probably was; 7% say he definitely or probably was born in another country. Nearly three in 10 say they don’t know enough to say." Or maybe the people being polled are just giving joke responses to the pollers. Either that, or some people just believe everyone else is born elsewhere.

What does it really matter in where a person is born? Foes that plave define their character? it should only matter what kind of person you are portraying to be, the reat id just geogepahy and that pnly proves that it is a place. it twlls nothing of who you are asa person or shows off your faults or accomplishments. only you can do that for yourself.

Does it make something true if a lot of people say they believe it? Absolutely not. the whole "birther" foolishness has nothing to do with the place Obama was born. it is a common Republican reaction to a lost election: find some way to overturn it. Obama's mother was American, which makes him a citizen no matter where he was born. If 62% of Americans are not sure the moon landings were real, that is a sad reflection on the intellectual capacity of the population, not grounds for claiming the landings were fake.

The reason why President Obama is still being asked this is because he has not given us, the American people (his boss), proof of his birth. when Sen McCain was questioned about his birth, his party was quick to put a copy of his birth certificate on his website. stating that he was born on a military base. The question shouldn't be why is he still being asked, it should be why doesn't he answer. Why doesn't he give us a copy of his birth certificate. If he has nothing to hide then why doesn't he just show it. I respect President Obama because he is my President, however this is a question that I would like to be answered.

It does make people doubt whether he is an American citizen or not, because he fought so hard to hide his birth certificate. If he would've from the beginning had his birth certificate available there would be no question. I think that Obama is trying very hard to make this a communist country, that he is the one and only ruler over the people. He campaigned that he wanted to help those who were struggling, and all he is done is drive them further into the ground. The more he "helps" the worse things become. Obama's announcement over the gas crisis is what has urked me the most, about simply dealing with gas prices because they are going to continue to rise, and to go and purchase a fuel efficient vehicle. Yeah, easier said then done. With this economy, there are very few who are able to go out and purchase a brand new vehicle. And there it is the rich are getting the richer, and the poor are getting poorer. Right now we have a president who doesn't really care about those who are struggling, he is simply concerned with his own agenda. Simply put, sorry to all us americans, when he was put into office, we got screwed.

For me why you doubt then you vote for him as the one of you president list.
