With so much history that Obama is trying to suppress there are going to be leaks. If it looks like the eligibility thing is about to explode I believe Obama is going to be induced to resign (for health reasons) because the eligibility issue can never be allowed to be fully explored. Think of all the members of the ruling class of all political persuasions who dismissed the issue with ridicule, insults, and misrepresentation.
Thanks for getting this particular story back up on FR. It is fascinating.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confronted WorldNetDaily correspondent Lester Kinsolving in the White House briefing Thursday, challenging the reporter to say whether he believed President Obama is a U.S. citizen after questioning the authenticity of Obama’s Social Security number.
In the last question of the day, Kinsolving asked Gibbs “why the president is using a Social Security Number reserved for Connecticut applicants” – alluding to a popular conspiracy theory among some who question the president’s citizenship.
Gibbs began to reply, saying he was “amazed” by the question, before interrupting himself to ask directly: “Do you think the president was born here, Lester? Do you think the president was born in the United States?” “I don’t know,” the conservative correspondent answered, adding he wants to see Obama’s birth certificate.
“I’ve seen the real birth certificate. I put it on the Internet,” Gibbs shot back. “And I appreciate your forthrightness on the birth answer.”
