Obama's Birth Certificate Issue

Dear Mexican friends,

We at Power House High School on the West Side of Chicago gave it some thought and decided that Barack Obama's inauguration as President of the U.S.A. is one of our most significant historical events. As such, I have posted a video showing Donald Trump, now running for president in the next election, questioning Barack Obama's birth certificate and therefore questioning his legitimacy to be president.

Many people around the U.S.A. have questioned Mr. Obama's birth certificate and has now become a hot topic because Donald Trump has made it a discussion point as he prepares to run against Mr. Obama in the next election.

We want to hear what you think. What is your opinion on the matter? What insight do you have or fresh perspective can you bring to the discussion? Please watch the video (click on the link below) and post your comments.

Thank you!
