Bachmann demurs in ‘birther’ arms race [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/31/2011 | Matthew Boyle and Jonathan Strong

Posted on 03/31/2011 4:39:46 AM PDT by Rational Thought

Until recently, Rep. Michelle Bachmann had flirted with questions about President Obama’s birthplace more than any other potential GOP presidential candidate. In mid-February, the Minnesota Republican Congresswoman said it wasn’t for her to say whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not.

But she’s not following real estate mogul Donald Trump deep into “birther” territory.

That’s “the least important issue in the United States right now,” Bachmann told The Daily Caller in an interview Wednesday.

The move is important because, although there’s ample evidence Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, a big chunk of the Republican primary electorate continues to doubt Obama’s citizenship.

I'm sorry to read this (and see the video) of Bachmann. This sure sounds like a dodge of what could be a major issue.

As for Matthew Boyle and Jonathan Strong and the statement (from the article) "because, although there’s ample evidence Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961", questions for you;

What Hospital was Obama born at? What was the name of the attending Physician? Why hasn't Obama released a Birth Certificate? Why hasn't Obama released any Education Records? Why hasn't Obama released any prior Medical Records? Why did the Governor of Hawaii say he would produce the Obama Birth Certificate, then drop the issue?

And finally,

Are you guys actually reporters???

“ample evidence Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961”

There is no evidence that the Kenyan was born in HI.

BOR says news clippings are “ample”. What a jerk.

Trump is the perfect guy to go after the BC issue. High profile, and with big brass balls.

Men whom claim to be military hero's are punished.

Impersonating a police officer is a criminal offense.

Practicing medicine without officially sanctioned and accredited schooling is a crime.

Saying your single when your really married is bigamy and a crime.


Our legal/penal system is chock FULL of precident regarding fraud.


zero's eligibility is THE most important issue.


We MUST play "What If".

“the least important issue in the United States right now,”

So the least important issue in the US is the Constitution and the rule of law? Okay...got it!

Sigh ... I've been a huge supporter and contributor of Michele's ... rethinking ...

I agree with you. Let Trump take this on. I think there is a good possibility the whole thing is a feint by Obama. He might be holding back his BC as a weapon to pull out and bring down a strong opposition figure in the future. There’s a better possibility that there is no BC, of course, at least not one in the USA, but still, the trickster possibility remains.

Let Trump be the one to go out on this limb. There really are about a million other issues that Obama is vulnerable on.

So despite the fact that I am a birther myself, I support Bachmann in what she’s doing here.

At this point you could produce a notarized long form birth certificate from Kenya or Hell itself (more likely) and no ones mind would be changed. Everyone believes what they believe and that's that.

The point is to remove him as quickly as possible and, from here, that is the 2012 election. Jump on his policies, not his placenta if you truly wish him gone.

Excellent analogies. Think about it...they put Frank Abagnale in prison for impersonating far less than BO/BS.

Frank Abagnale, Jr

The standard response should be “What I’ve seen doesn’t look like my BC, does it look like yours?”

Apparently you aren’t aware that FR poster “pissant” is a Bachmann fanatic and knocked Palin for saying essentially the same thing.

I am going to cut Bachmann and Palin some slack on this issue.

The two ladies know that if they press this issue the media will make that all they talk about, ruining any chance at a campaign.

Trump, thats fine. He is ornery enough and enjoys the attention. He likes to argue the issue. Let him do it.

We all know Obama isn’t eligible because his father was not an American citizen. That is the real issue. Makes you wonder how John Roberts could swear in the usurper and live with it.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House he is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

BO's/BS's illegally occupying the Oval Office is the biggest Constitutional crisis of our time. Obviously Bachmann considers the violation of the Constitution as insignificant.

80% OF THE MEDIA SHOULD BE PENALIZED OR PUT IN JAIL FOR COVERING UP THIS CORRUPT POLTICALLY CORRECT AND ILLEGAL ABOMINATION.

Latter-day x-generation clueless journalism students programmed to NOT THINK, just move forward auto-pilot style with brainwashed philosophies courtesy of their socialist professors and the brain dead flash of debauched celebrities.VERY “NOW”, YOU KNOW.

Heaven forbid any one of these IDIOTS would apply a brain cell to do actrually do some due diligence.

Truth is, they don’t want to—they know they are lying, they know they are covering for a fraud—but it’s all for the ‘cause’...the UTOPIAN SOCIAL JUSTICE STATE these simpletons drank in, fad style, by their hip, journalism circles.

Authentic useful idiots.
