Yes. I heard about Gibbs’ crack about DNA testing this morning. There is a Video posted either on this thread, or on another on FR.

As I remember someone asked about the Birth Certificate at the White House Briefing Room and Gibbs said something to the effect, “Well even if I had DNA proof they...(wouldn’t believe him)”

It seemed stupid because DNA would prove NOTHING about where he was born. But Gibbs then went on to something else.

The Fact Checker
Obama Overstates Kennedys' Role in Helping His Father

By Michael Dobbs Sunday, March 30, 2008; Page A01

Link to original article

Addressing civil rights activists in Selma, Ala., a year ago, Sen. Barack Obama traced his "very existence" to the generosity of the Kennedy family, which he said paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and thus meet his Kansan mother.

The Camelot connection has become part of the mythology surrounding Obama's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. After Caroline Kennedy endorsed his candidacy in January, Newsweek commentator Jonathan Alter reported that she had been struck by the extraordinary way in which "history replays itself" and by how "two generations of two families -- separated by distance, culture and wealth -- can intersect in strange and wonderful ways."

It is a touching story -- but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified. ...continue at link Nixon was involved in this air lift too, not wanting to be outdone by Kennedy.
