On Aug 18, I posted a guess that Uhbumma's recent trip to Hawii was a birth Certificate repair mission.

Helen Thomas, Birther?

At the White House press briefing today, left-wing Air America radio talk show host Bill Press asked Robert Gibbs, “Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?”
To which Gibbs replied, Oh, please, please don’t make me talk about an issue that makes conservatives look like a bunch of nutjobs.
I paraphrase. You can read the full exchange after the jump.
But I thought it was curious that Helen Thomas seemed to think that concerns that Obama is not really a U.S. citizen are legitimate (some of the following exchange was left out of the official White House transcript, but see the 30:50 mark of this video):
GIBBS: ... no, nothing will assuage them. But there are 10,000 more important issues for people in this country to discuss, rather than—
HELEN THOMAS: A violation of the Constitution.
GIBBS:—whether or not the President is a citizen. ...
THOMAS: Why do you think it keeps coming up?
MR. GIBBS: Because for $15, you can get an Internet address and say whatever you want.
