Ah, the expected Krusty response - when you can't argue the
facts, fall back on the ol' tried-and-true attempted ad-hominem
attack.

Have you EVER considered growing up and becoming a
functioning adult human being?

Who, ME? Never!

Actually, I seem to recall that we require exactly that sort of test
for those wishing to become citizens - and since His Krustiness
was bringing up his tired old "who should be a citizen" nonsense,
the "what's good for the goose" line of though naturally presented
itself. I note that he still hasn't identified anything especially bad
about the idea, beyond the obvious fact that he himself could not
pass any such test.

You seem to be making the assumption that Krusty's native
language is American English. On what evidence are you basing
that?

But only if there is reasonable evidence to the contrary, that outweighs
such
supporting evidence as has already been presented. To date, no such
contradictory evidence has been brought into the discussion, and Obama
already presented sufficient evidence such that the vast majority of
reasonable participants in the discussion have considered the matter
settled. Why should he spend time and effort to do more, until and unless
the current status quo is seriously challenged? I wouldn't, you wouldn't,
and it is unreasonable to expect that he or his staff would.

Oh, sorry, we failed to realise that this was all about *you*; I.E.
"if guys like me have doubts, then there's problem".

In reality, if guys like you have doubts then it means you either (A)
haven't bothered looking at the facts, (B) don't *want* to look at the
facts, (C) aren't really a "don't-much-care guy" at all, or, (D) lack
the capacity to understand that everybody except fruitcakes accepts
the fact that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Time to move on towards things that have at least a soupcon of reality
and a dash of relevance somewhere in their recipes.
