"Birth" Joke Conflict or Confusion?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/24/romney-no-one-has-ever-asked-to-see-my-birth-certificate/

Just today, this article was posted about Romney talking about his birth place. He laughed with a small joke saying that no one asked for his birth certificate. Once he mentioned that, it drew a confusion and conflict between the Republicans and Democrats. Once you read the article, you will comprehend that republicans still believe that Obama was not born in the U.S. while others believe that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. As I viewed and read this article, it seemed like Republicans committed another attack on the Democrats by saying that in order to be president you need to be born in the U.S. obviously. But the Republicans just are still unsure where Obama was born. What's your opinion to this crazy story?

As I've said in my previous blog and I'm not trying to offend or corrupt anyone's belief, but these attacks between the two parties are just a pain! What frustrates me is that don't Romney and Obama have better things to say and do to help this country solving issues such as health care and Second Amendment policies? Both candidates spent so much money on their campaigns wasting time where instead save money and use it to our biggest issues here in the U.S. still! WE SADLY HAVE POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS, AND UNEMPLOYMENT AND BOTH CANDIDATES DECIDE TO JUST ATTACK EACH OTHER!!! PEOPLE, DON'T YOU SEE THE PICTURE NOW! THAT IS WHY I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THE CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR AND IN THE PRIOR YEARS. THE SOLUTION FOR STRUGGLING HASN'T ARRIVED YET!

What's your perspective on the birth story? How does the story relate to what I'm trying to say? Can we rely on our leaders? Is it possible for them to change? Say your opinion, it's okay what you guys say. I will accept anything because it's your belief and I totally respect it.
