Again, I don't recall Mr. Obama himself saying it.

In fact, he has not confirmed or denied anything in this whole issue.

Now, I am not saying that these accusations are true or not, but I will say that they are a lot more believable than the Birther accusations made against Mr. Obama., as you say they are.

I would personally rate the validity of the claims made by the Birthers alongside the claims that Elvis is still alive.
