No we don't.
Look, I don't know the truth of this Obama birth certificate matter.
On the one hand, you have the smartasses sneering "tinfoil hats." Sorry, but that's not an argument and it doesn't serve well the cause of those who offer it.
On the other hand, you have people with all sorts of versions, some appearing at least plausible, others fantastic. Sorry, but that's not proof.
It seems the simplest thing would be to just produce incontrovertible evidence for expert examination by all sides. And no, what we've seen so far is not.
This avoidance does nothing to increase confidence in government or diminish distrust. All it does is widen the divide and fuel the conspiracy theories even more--from both sides, including the one that of course BO can prove it, but by not doing so he can draw out making his political enemies look like fools.
It seems a simple enough question to deserve a straight answer for.
