I notice you still give Obama no credit for instigating the media circus on the whole issue to begin with. At least you could do is give him his just due for not squelching it a long time ago.

I don't think he deserves any of the "credit." Remember, Obama didn't say he was born in Kenya, others did. He didn't instigate it. And, the claim was quite silly. To contend that it's his obligation to put an end to it is, in my opinion, silly. Anyway, he produced a valid birth certificate in 2008. The fact that some still didn't accept it doesn't, again, make it his responsibility to counter it.

If someone contends that Obama had an obligation to produce further proof to squelch a merit less conspiracy theory, isn't he or she demonstrating that he or she still gave at least some credence to the conspiracy theory?

Does he still need to prove somehow that he isn't a Muslim? Some people are still claiming he is.
