CNN president kills birther story
TVNewser reports that CNN President Jon Klein has declared a halt to birther coverage -- a tacit shot at Lou Dobbs.
Klein forwarded Dobbs's producers a memo under this heading, which I suspect won't calm the conspiracists:
Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead - because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.

His long form birth certificate was destroyed in 2001 according to CNN?
What do they have to say about this then?
November 1, 2008
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures,” Fukino said.

I saw Lou Dobbs on the street during lunchtime in midtown Manhattan today and he did not look good at all. In fact, he looked BAD. Now I know what happened.

Lou Dobbs is the only thing worth anything left on CNN. He should go to Fox and get out of CNN.

Dobbs should walk and go on a speaking tour until his contract is up and he can sign with someone else. Two topics "Why Obama is not Really the President" and "What's Really Going on at CNN."
I'll by the first ticket in soCal.

"A long-form birth certificate with details about the doctor who delivered Obama no longer exists, they reported. The shorter Certificate of Live Birth noting Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, that has been made public is the official record."BS
I never knew a bureaucrat who ever gave up information, it is like giving up one of their children. I would bet the original was microfilmed and can be printed or the data is in a database. I would take anything else as a LIE.
This sounds like the noise that is comming out of Iran. All lies.

They are now claiming that the original was destroyed.
Now isn't THAT convenient.
