Thank you, Slings and Arrows. Interesting article. Another LIE from the media; the Hawaiian health secretary did NOT vouch for 0bama's birth certificate. With help from the media, Democrats are trying to marginalize anyone who upholds the Constitution.

Ping to remember the following names:

Posey, Republican, was best known for being reasonable and low key, a staunch conservative who had a reputation for working with Democrats on tough issues.

That changed last week, after Posey quietly introduced a bill in the House that would require presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates to prove they are really U.S. citizens.

Now he's the butt of jokes on late-night TV and the target of considerable venom on liberal-leaning Web sites like Huffington Post and Talking Points Memo.

Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's liberal commentator, deemed him the "World's Worst Person of the Day" on Tuesday.

Posey has been portrayed as something of a nut for what is widely seen as an attempt to legitimize the fringe belief that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen.

Rep. Neil Abercrombie, Democrat-Hawaii...said, "The citizenship of someone who has reached the point of running for president of the United States is not really an issue."

People are going to look at you peculiar if you're going to have a bill that kind of, somewhat, challenges the president of the United States on his citizenship," Lawson Democrat, said. "I think that's inappropriate. I would think that he should withdraw that bill and maybe apologize to the public."
