Obama

John McCain was also born on a Military base and has a valid record and birth certificate with the State Department that documents him as a natural born citizen. Barack Obama refuses to release any information right now to verify. And another Obama supporter has quit his campaign.
 
cliffs on this?

EDIT: OK did some quick reading and apparently both Obama and McCain face the same issue of being "natural Born citizens".
 
McCain is in the clear though because he was born on a American military base. Anything worldwide owned by the American government (bases, embassies, etc) is deemed American soil, and is as good as being born in the middle of Boston or DC.

Obama on the other hand apparently has the question on whether his parents were legal citizens of the US at the time, amongst other specific details that I can't completely recall. What's making it worse for Obama is that he's refusing to just pay the chump change and have a copy of his birth records released.

I'm sure he's a citizen but it's really sketchy. Why would refuse to do something so simple and release his birth records to shut everyone up? Also, a man in his position, I'm pretty sure he can get in touch with someone to falsify documents.

The whole thing has me
 
I did a brief scan of an article on this non-story. It sounds like the most likely possibility is that his birth certificate has his mother's last name on it.

Oh. No.
 
Again, I'm sure he's a citizen but what possible reason would be so embarrassing or detrimental on his birth records to his campaign that he refuses to release them? THAT is why the whole thing is receiving as much attention as it is. It's still hilarious too
