Because it really is NONE of anyone's business. Mr. Obama has made appropriate disclosures.
Maybe (as another poster mentioned on another thread), it really is "generational". I'm a little older than Mr. Obama, and I don't release my college transcripts, and I don't give out my social security number, not even to the Girl Scouts so they can do a "criminal background check" on me. I earned two college degrees and I've never had even a parking ticket, and if someone else thinks the details of my life are their business, too bad. The author of the article is asking for stuff that has NO bearing on Mr. Obama's fitness for office. And when the Swift Boat Party of 2008's "professionals" do get paper, they make stuff up about it, and then (though they jolly well don't believe it themselves) they try to convince the stupidest Americans that Mr. Obama's faith, birthplace, associates, etc. are somehow dangerously suspect. In fact a poster on a thread on this board even hinted that Mr. Obama could be an "illegal alien", either through ignorance (not understanding the requirements for American citizenship) or outright malice (knowing well, but trusting that others don't.)
The polls say that at least 50 percent of the electorate is not being bamboozled by these tactics.
Even if your theory were correct, which it isn't, Obama would STILL be an American citizen even if he were born in Kenya or Indonesia. To be a U.S. citizen, you have to be born in the U.S. or to a U.S. citizen, which his white mother from Kansas most certainly was. So either way, this story has no merit whatsoever.
are you really saying that not one person from harvard would come forward and dispute mr.obama's claim of actually graduating from said school?
are you really saying that someone could win a nomination from their political party and not be a US citizen? i am pretty sure Hillary would have made this minor issue, LOUD AND CLEAR.

That is an incorrect statement.
Maybe I'm just pregnant and not able to think clearly, but I'm not sure what you posted contradicts my statement.
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth.
That doesn't mean that the citizen parent has to be physically present in the U.S. at the time of the birth of the child, it is simply stating that physical presence has to be compatable with the applicable law at the time of the child's birth, which means we need to keep reading to understand the law at the time of Obama's birth.
For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.
This law would be the one that was in effect at the time of Obama's birth. From what I am understanding and from further research, this means that the citizen parent, in this case Obama's mother, had to reside in the U.S. for at least ten years with five of those years being after the age of 14. She definitely lived with her parents until the age of 19 in the United States, so that requirement is met. So that would mean that, despite where Obama was born, he was a U.S. citizen from the time he entered this country.
Regardless of all of that, he was born in Hawaii and didn't leave there until the age of 2. But if anyone really wants to believe that he was either born in Kenya or Indonesia, that's fine because he's still a U.S. citizen.
Don't you think that if this really were an issue, Hillary Clinton's campaign would have discovered it?

No,
Although Barack Obama was born in the US (Hawaii is part of the US)
How do you know she was only 18? Why do you believe that she was 18 but yet you won't believe his birth certificate is authentic? Is it because her being 18 helps to further your ludicrous idea that a man could be *thisclose* to the presidency without actually being a U.S. citizen?
It's quite convenient that you'll believe she was 18, because it helps your argument, but yet you won't believe that the actual birth certificate is authentic.
