illusionofjoy | Obama's birth certificate

Of the many things which disturb me about Barack Obama is his penchant for secrecy which rivals that of the Bush administration. For a man who espouses themes of "hope" and "change," I'm not seeing a lot of personality deviation from the current occupant of the White House. A curious exhibit: why won't Obama release his birth certificate?

Daily KOS claimed to have a copy and posted it. However, even to the layman, the thing posted on the website of the great rancid cheeto looks, well... as fake as Pamela Anderson's tits. An independent weblogger posted a full deconstruction of the alleged document. I can't say I disagree with the deconstruction - I've used Photoshop, I know how to make a fake certificate (no, I won't make one for you - don't bother asking).

Why the secrecy? There's no reason for it...it is utterly perplexing...
