Apparently the argument that he wasn't born in the US holds some weight otherwise it would simply be dismissed like many other "rumors" that are circulated. The fact of the matter is, the President's early childhood is very vague at best. There is reasonable doubt that he isn't an American born citizen.
His past shouldn't have been scrutinized by a pompus, egotistical, for all intents and purposes, reality TV star but none-the-less when there is doubt about something as serious as this it should be quantified. The President of the United States should be born on American soil, so the subject should have absolutely been followed until the end. Whether or not you believe the birth certificate that was produced is genuine or not is up to you.
I do agree that he shouldn't have wasted a press conference on something like this. It is very easily a subject that could've been just released to the press like all kinds of other Presidential news.
