One of talk radio's first ladies, Laura Ingraham, believes Barack Obama was born in the United States and is a legitimate president, but she suggests it wouldn't hurt him to release his original long-form birth certificate.

That would be among the documents, she said, that should be available to the American public about their president, arguably the most powerful man in the world.

She specifically cited Obama's college records as among the documents still concealed by him and wondered about his time at Occidental College.

"In the interest of full disclosure, sir, could we please have those records?" she asked.

A minute later, she added, "And of course, you know, all of you are thinking 'Laura when are you going to say long-form birth certificate.' Well, long-form …"

The focal point of Ingraham's commentary was Obama's lack of transparency, an issue he boasted would be a hallmark of his administration.

A spokesman for Ingraham's show said the commentary was describing the hypocrisy of the Obama administration.

"[White House press secretary] Robert Gibbs' insisted that certain organizations should release the names of their donors in the 'spirit of disclosure.' We made the point on the show that there are a lot of things the White House could release voluntarily in order to put to rest some of the gaps in the public's knowledge, including Obama's college records and papers and the complete White House visitors list.

"The non-release of the president's long-form birth certificate is another example of the White House not engaging in the spirit of disclosure they desire to force on their political enemies. We included it in our list of examples despite the fact that making it public is unnecessary and irrelevant. Obama was born in the United States and is a legitimate president," the spokesman said.

He noted the point also was made in the past week by ABC's Jake Tapper. In an interview with Obama adviser David Axelrod, there was this exchange regarding Axelrod's insistence that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce release information to prove it was not accepting overseas donations:
