Daring to go where only cable has gone so far, Wednesday's NBC Nightly News waded into the rampant claims that President Barack Obama -- though he was born in a U.S. state and to a mother who was a U.S. citizen, so even if he were born in Kenya he'd still be a U.S. citizen -- is somehow really not one. Anchor Brian Williams didn't hide his disdain, teasing the newscast: “Spreading lies about President Obama's birthplace and about his U.S. citizenship. Who's doing it and why?”
(Too bad Williams didn't show such concern for wild allegations in late 2004 and into 2005 that President Bush was illegitimate when colleague Keith Olbermann spent months using his MSNBC show to hype claims Ohio voting machines were manipulated to deny John Kerry's win which would have given him the presidency.)
After video of a woman in Delaware shouting at a Congressman over Obama's citizenship, Williams fretted: “A lot of us live with this issue; we get e-mails, we get asked about it.” Exaggerating the extent of the attention the issue gets on the right, reporter Pete Williams declared: “It hasn't gone away, becoming a staple of blogs and conservative talk radio.” He soon asserted that “legal scholars -- liberal and conservative alike -- are in widespread agreement that Barack Obama is fully qualified.”

Why are they spreading lies that this is about his citizenship?
Initially, Hillary Clinton supporter and Democrat Berg. Not exactly a Republican attack.
Because they don’t know their arses from holes in the ground.
He soon asserted that “legal scholars -- liberal and conservative alike -- are in widespread agreement that Barack Obama is fully qualified.He may be fully qualified, but is he eligible?
Why is it “speading lies” to ask to see documentation?
Swift Birthing!
——> Hollywood has one thing right. There is no such thing as bad publicity. There is only ... PUBLICITY.
So thank you for the free publicity National Barack Channel. We appreciate the assist.
Not sure. It’s spreading cheeks to accept the marxist w/o proof.
I turned on the news tonight... I saw this report. I am still contacting my local station to tell them my disappointment in them totally leaving out the controversial part of the BIRTH CERTIFICATE!! You know the document that shows his PARENTS, HOME ADDRESS of Mother, DELIVERING DR.! You know THAT CERTIFICATE!
SO if nobama is fully qualified to be president, why is he reluctant to show his birth certificate, and college records? Seems mighty funny to me.
You must be back stateside, I take it?
Well, looks like this has finally broken loose.
I’m sure we’re going to get to the bottom of this now.
Both sides have come out in full force, so it will be interesting to see the outcome.
If I were a betting man, I sure wouldn’t want to place a bet that he’s legit.
I’m still curious about a talk radio trap. If it is/was it’s already been sprung.
The attack against the “birthers” has gone to DEFCON 5. You must ask why?? Why would the left, liberal, and media bump this story up?? BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED WITLESS THAT WE’RE GETTING TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT AND WANT TO KILL IT BEFORE PAY DIRT IS HIT!!!
Brian and Chrissy want to know whose spreading lies about their boyfriend.
Yup
General Electric (GE) owner of NBC, CNBC, MSNBC and Universal Studios is PURE EVIL.
Boycott.
