Oh No, Not You, Too, Chuck Norris!

Even Ann Coulter says the birthers are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.  But Chuck Norris, in a birthday letter to President Obama, is asking the Commander-in-Chief to release his birth certificate.

I’m writing you because this is no longer a matter merely about proving you meet a presidential prerequisite in the Constitution. Refusing to post your original birth certificate is an unwise political and leadership decision that is enabling the “birther” controversy. The nation you are called to lead is experiencing a growing swell of conspirators who are convinced that you are covering up something. So why not just prove them wrong and shut them up?

I agree with CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who was chastised by his own media outlet for demanding the release of your original birth certificate.

[…]

Isn’t categorically satisfying constitutional requirements for a president or answering the First Amendment grievances of hundreds of thousands of Americans or ending a national debate or healing a country’s divisions enough “direct and tangible interest”?

Mr. President, as more and more people realize that you are refusing to release your original birth certificate, further questions will fuel the fires of debate or at least hinder the embers from ever being snuffed out. Questions such as, “Does it really contain the Hawaiian physician’s name?” “Does it disclose something other than his birthplace that he wishes others not to see?”

Should the president even dignify this insanity with a request to Hawaii to release his records? And even if he did, would that quench the birthers’ thirst? I bet if he complied,  they’d say he took so long to release a birth certificate because he had to phony one up.
