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. Bob M.

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. |
