The Issue That Won't Go Away

Why is this still an issue? That's the question. The answer: "It is still an issue because President Obama doesn't want to release his birth certificate." Why not? Possibilities: 1) It doesn't exist. 2) It has some sort of embarrassing information on it. 3) He likes the controversy and has millions of dollars to keep it going. ... What are the other possibilities? Of these the most reasonable is simply number 1. And if it doesn't exist, then where was he born? Has a document that once existed disappeared? Then there are a bunch of other issues that call into question his citizenship including the allegations that he received educational aid as a foreign national when he was in college. Is this true? Is all the smoke due to bogus documents drummed up by anti-Obama forces? I don't know and of course that gap between what is suspected and what is actually known is what keeps this kind of stuff going.
