I wouldn’t call it “madness” ... but I think, at this point, it is doing more harm than good — i.e. it swings more voters against us than for us. Until we have more information (which we should still pursue), I think it’d be beneficial to the electoral chances in November to let the issue rest.
I am quite sure many here will disagree.

It’s sickening watching Ted suck up to liberals hoping to be accepted into their clique.
53% of Democrats believe Bush was involved in a conspiracy on 911; Homeland Security is a front for eventual martial law; 911 was an inside job, and the towers fell due to planted explosives. Wqaiting for that poll to be published.
He’s just echoing Glenn Beck.
Look. Fox News is not on the Birther Bandwagon.
I believe it will be some English or Canadian newspaper that finally breaks the truth of Obama’s illegitimate presidency.
Certainly not Fox or any other American media outlet.
Hey Billy...
Which of the following two selections is more indicative of insanity or madness: 1) asking for proof of eligibility to hold the presidency, as required by the Constitution, or 2) spending over a million dollars in legal fees rather than simply producing the document in question and putting the issue to rest? Idiot.
He’s got his cocktail parties to go to.
Hey Bill - let me rephrase the question: is he a NATURAL BORN citizen, as required by the Constitution?
1 Certified copy of original birth certificate
2 Columbia University transcripts
3 Columbia thesis paper
4 Campaign donor analysis requested by 7 major watchdog groups
5 Harvard University transcripts
6 Illinois State Senate records
7 Illinois State Senate schedule
8 Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9 Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mother
10 Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
11 Occidental College Transcripts
12 Parents marriage Certificate
13 Record of baptism
14 Selective Service registration records
(Did Obama Actually Register for Selective Service?
This supposed revelation of 0's SS records has been debunked here and here.)
15 Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16 Passport records for all passports
17 Scholarly articles
18 SAT and LSAT test scores
19 Access to his grandmother in Kenya
20 List of all campaign workers that are lobbyists
21 Punahou grade school records
22 Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.
23 Page 11 of Stanley Ann Dunham's divorce decree.
24 Why did Barack Obama resign from the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why did Michelle Obama resign from the Illinois bar after only about four years of practice and where are all of the relevant documents?
Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
Well, Gee!...Since it's so settled then why not just release the long form birth certificate?
Since it's so settled, why is Obama using DOJ attorneys and tying up the time of federal judges and federal courts in an attempt to prevent the release of his long form birth certificate?
If he is using federal courts, federal judges, and DOJ attorneys and citizen tax dollars just to make the birthers look loony, I don't think the American people will be amused with this waste of U.S. resources and money.
He has never been a conservative and always wants to give Barry Sotero Dunham the benefit of the doubt.
The Right should shun him, he's not on our side.
An honest man would be **HONORED** to promptly prove in every way they were a natural born citizen and eligible to be president and Commander in Chief.
What does Obama’s behavior have to say about his honesty?
What does Obama’s behavior have to say about those who defend him.
Finally,...I see that the Dems are bringing this issue up themselves. Obama, himself, mentioned his citizenship at the Prayer Meeting as well as Kos, and Mother Jones.
So...Bill...Did you get a call from a DNC operative telling you that you too should mention Obama’s eligibility?
So far, about 1 year into his term, we have two data points: his assurance that he complies with this important clause and his spending over a million dollars on lawyers tasked with opposing and suppressing any attempt to pry a single credible document that might shed light on this issue.
I do not doubt that BHO was born in Hawaii. I understand that some have postulated he was born elsewhere. But that is not the end of the issue. It also pivots on what citizenship status he had at his birth.
The father he claims to have was not a US citizen at the time. His mother was not old enough to convey citizenship. If these two facts are in error, then I welcome a credible correction.
This issue is solved if he could show that his biological father was a US citizen at the time of his birth. That would demand that there are facts yet to be revealed. Could this explain the role of “Frank” in his life?
Lest anyone think this is a matter of race, it cannot be. What is “race” when a person can decide to be “black” some years after their birth? It is clearly not a genetic
determination. It is ideological. And for this American, that is exactly the issue.
Bill Clinton was given the title by liberals as the First Black President. Since BHO’s mother was Caucasian and the father he claims was black, then by the dictionary BHO is mulatto. But in his autobiography, BHO tells us that he decided to be “black”. I would appreciate that he be honest with us and tell us all that means.
I can understand and accept a president with a dark skin. I just cannot understand nor accept a president with a red ideology, wherever he was born and whoever his parents really were.
ever have to fill out a w-9 form? how about work for the govt? either way you must provide ID... and by that I don’t mean your drivers license. they want a passport or birth certificate.
McCain was forced to provide his info... and it was hillarys guy, Philip Berg, that started the push for 0bama’s eligibility requirements
last I checked... it is the LAW to provide the documentation. no amount of ridicule will diminish something so basic
why should this guy be above the law?
When a guy doesn’t present a birth certificate after having forced his opponent to present a birth certificate—for a job that requires a birth certificate...something is really fubar.
O’reilly always is/was/has been a Conservative of Convenience.
If there are Birth announcements, then there is a friggin long form.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Then explain dual citizenship and why a dual allegiance just might be a problem for the head of our military.
What's tragic is that those opinion percentages should all be at 100%, along with the number of conservatives NOT watching Bull O'Really.

WE ARE SPARTA ( BIRTHERS ) !!!
