Quote from CaptainObvious:
If he walked out with one in hand today, offered it up for inspection, there would still be those that would say it was a forged document.
Quote from TGregg:
Considering what the whacko fringe believes, there is no question that God himself could come down and say The One is an NBC and there'd be no shortage of lunatics who would not believe it. There is no level of proof he could offer that would satisfy these people.
Which is why he doesn't even try.

Still, I think having the states require evidence of presidential eligibility is a good thing. And I can guarantee you that no matter what evidence Arizonia decides to accept, The One will have it - one way or another.

He doesn't try because he knows that his place of birth doesn't matter due to his father not being a citizen
He can't even address the issue because to do so would shed light on the real reason he wants to ignore it.
Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
He doesn't try because it's a great political move not to. The longer he ignores the fringe "birthers" the more they froth at the mouth. The more rabid the birthers become the more they marginalize themselves.
And ultimately the teabagers/birthers will split the Republican vote he'll be in like flynn in 2012. Which, I don't necessarily know is a good thing. But I would lay very heavy odds on that outcome.
Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
Fine, he wouldn't carry Florida, Oklahoma or Arizona anyway. It would cost him nothing to ignore them. They should knock themselves out with crazy legislation.
However I believe it's a moot point. I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that there's legal precedent that has effectively eliminated the "natural born" part the requirement. There have been other President's of the United State whose father's were not born in American.
I keep telling ya man that this guy went up against the Clinton Machine and came out smelling like a rose. If there was anything really there they would have killed him with it.
