I actually spoke with an army Captain who blogs on right-wing blogs, and expressed (polite) disagreement about Obama during a casual discussion.
Before I begin, I want to make this clear since people might get the wrong idea. He was not using his position or authority to try to pressure me. It was a brief, civil discussion between two adults.
He strikes me as a reasonably intelligent person and he's obviously college educated.
He actually questions the validity of Obama's birth certificate!
Don't just read the narrative, click the link. Factcheck.org went fricken all out on this one.

Born in the U.S.A.

The truth about Obama's birth certificate.
Summary
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."
Analysis: BULLLLLLLLL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.
And there's more. Much, much more and quality photographs.
Cheers
