BTW, Politico Ben Smith is an Obot.
Yep, but Ben Smith has just updated saying that the Alabama paper is sticking by its story...this could get interesting.
UPDATE: I haven't been able to reach the Cullman Times to check for tape or transcript, but in the meantime, a fuller statement from Graffeo:
The Cullman Times article contains an incomplete account, and therefore a distortion, of Sen. Shelby's comments regarding President Obama's citizenship. At the town hall meeting in Cullman, Sen. Shelby laid out the Constitutional qualifications for the Presidency and said that, while he hasn't personally seen the President's birth certificate, he is confident that the matter has been thoroughly examined.
Yeah Shelby, his 'Certification Of Live Birth' (COLB) has been examined and determined to be a forgery. Obama's birth certificate, however, has not been seen.
