Some believe/ignore things based on personal feelings. Some take a fact based approach as to what they believe but in the end we all believe what we want to believe.

Well, that’s arguable. But, generally, believing what you want to believe doesn’t really apply to easily provable (or disprovable) things. It’s quite easy to find out whether Obama is really eligible to be president. Whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii.Yet you appear to choose not to find out. Why is that?
If you are going to get all the information you can in order to make larger decisions, then the least you could do (if you care whether or not you’re going to make good decisions) is to get the easy stuff right. How do you expect to make good decisions on larger issues (like who to vote for) if you don’t bother to take a few seconds to find out what’s true and what’s not?[/quote]
The only way to know for sure if Obama is eligable to be president would be for him to produce a real birth certificate but he refuses to do so.
If someone refuses to provide proof of birth then what choices are one left with as to what to believe? Very few. One has to consider that maybe he is not eligible or else why not provide the BC??
