Achilles

I agree. The racists justify it as not liking his policy or not knowing his birthplace. The even larger group of people (IMO) who aren't racist, but don't like his policies, and don't feel like they have enough evidence to support their opinions, justify their dislike on the basis of birthplace.

IMO, there's plenty of things to hate about any leader without having to resort to stupid crap like birth certificate issues. 'Birthers' are too dumb to see the obvious, so they resort to the convoluted.
