This is just arrogance on Obama's part, not providing his birth certificate as demanded.
Why? I can't think of a single U.S. president who's had his birth certificate "demanded" of him before this.
As I mentioned once or twice before, I never really doubted Obama was a natural born citizen because of the fact his mother was a citizen.
Not sure why I was quoted here, or what it has to do with John Lennon's death.
But Obama is the first candidate / elected-president to not disclose his proof of birth, and until he did, it was a valid question.
Now that Obama finally (3 years later, after a political push by Donald Trump caused Obama to significantly drop in the polls) has disclosed full evidence of his U.S. citizenship, that's good enough for me.
On the topic of Lennon's death and legacy, I'm torn because I like his music, with the Beatles and his solo work.
But I also regard him as the quintissential hippie scumbag hypocrite prick marxist. He scorned materialism and the accumulation of wealth, and yet he had an enormous fortune and did little to help the suffering of the poor who he postured over.
One article I read said beyond his material possesions, he had an enormous porn collection.
Like so many other hippie scumbag celebrities, he liked to posture about how "the rich" should give much more to the poor, while clinging to his own fortune.
Lennon was also horrible to his first wife, constantly torturing her with the knowledge of thousands of other women he slept with, before he finally completely abandoned her and their shared children.
He was a guy with good and bad attributes, and a legacy of very pleasant music. But I look with scorn at those who hold him up as some great principled visionary, raised to a pedestal on par with Jesus Christ.
On a par with Charlie Sheen is more like it.
