I couldn't even tell you where his parents were living when he was supposedly born here and what they did for a living (and how did they even end up here from Indonesia to begin with), or what Obama did for a living for almost 20 years prior to the Senate. Or where Obama's American family is other than his own children and wife. If this was one thing, just one question mark on a straightforward kind of guy, then I don't think people would press the issue so much, like how McCain was born overseas. But in his case, almost 1/2 of his life is a big ass question mark to me and a lot of people. Even bios I read online thinking I should give him the benefit of the doubt and read up on this skip MOST of his life.

Eally? Cuz a 5 second google search on "Barack Obama Biography" produced numerous hits, including this: http://www.biography.com/people/barack-obama-12782369. Let me guess, you're the guy with the knock-out PSAT scores. Amiright?

At a campaign rally today, Romney started off by saying, "No one ever asked to see my birth certificate." Never mind that Romney's father, who was born in Mexico, ran for president.
Romney is correct that nobody has asked to see his birth certificate. Similarly, nobody has asked to see President Obama's tax returns. Will Romney release his tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate? Oh, that's right, Obama has released his birth certificate.
To the poster who is complaining in nearly every thread that we aren't discussing the economy, maybe you should have a talk with your candidate?
The Constitution requires that the President be a U.S. citizen - it does not require any particular tax returns.
And with all due respect, Obama's father is from Kenya, Obama grew up in Indonesia, and most of his family here are illegals - naturally, people are going to wonder, some more than others, if he was even born here.
Releasing tax returns is not a requirement
