The Birther Movement: Immune to Facts?

(CNN) -- Can the "birthers" ever be convinced that Barack Obama was born
in America and is eligible to serve as president?
.
Probably not, according to one prominent psychology professor and other
political observers.
.
Since Obama launched his bid for the White House, a sizable minority of
Americans has expressed strong doubts about whether he was actually born
in the United States. Over the past few years, the allegation that he was
born overseas -- in Kenya or perhaps Indonesia -- has taken on a life of
its own, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
.
A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll showed that roughly 25% of
Americans -- including over four in 10 Republicans -- believe Obama was
definitely or probably not born in the United States.
.
Earlier this week, CNN released the results of its own investigation into
the controversy. Documents and statements from numerous public officials
and childhood friends made clear that the president was born in Hawaii on
August 4, 1961.
.

.
The president yielded to demands from his critics that he release his
original long-form birth certificate, filing a special legal request with
Hawaiian authorities to release a document that is no longer used for
official purposes and ordinarily remains buried in the basement archives
of the state health department.
.
Obama's 2008 release of the more common "live birth certification" -- a
short computer-generated form typically used for documentation purposes --
did little to silence the chorus of skeptics.
