CNN places eligibility in primetime spotlight
WorldNetDaily ^ | MAY 7, 2010 | Bob Unruh

CNN, one of the mainstream media outlets that have either belittled or ignored the question of Barack Obama's eligibility to be president since before the 2008 election, tonight gave the topic a primetime spotlight as Anderson Cooper defended the computer-generated online image of a Certificate of Live Birth that lists a 1961 Hawaii birth for the president.

Cooper invited onto his "360" program Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an Army doctor who is facing court-martial because he has told the military he will not follow orders unless Obama can document his eligibility to be commander-in-chief.

The questions he is raising are like those raised in numerous lawsuits and other challenges to Obama – whether he qualifies to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural born" citizen.

a onetime interview does not make it primetime spotlight.

even if CNN televised the interview during any other place other than primetime it’s a ONETIME spotlight never to appear agin.

and that cooper kid ? he’s just fluff and stuff- he ain’t nuttin

The video .. watch Anderson get so vewwy, vewwy
outwaged and angwy at at even the thought. He’s
well coached on the WH script.

Lakin’s attorney did well, getting in a couple
of good points when AC wasn’t non-stop talking
over him and badgering.

A successful attempt by the left to dumb down the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” to simply birth place.

Commie News Network watchers will believe.

Honestly, I think that Anderson cooper learned how to go so long without taking a breath while he was under the desk in the Oval Office....

Anderson Cooper is an idiot. The military officer’s atty made mincemeat out of him. I thought Cooper was going to wet his pants playing the game. He tried every trick he could think of to throw them off balance. It didn’t work. Whst did work is to show Cooper for the fool he is.

Both the officer and his atty were great especially when they couldn’t get a word in edgewise by a way to excited Cooper who represents in my opinion the worst of the MSM.

I can see why I don’t watch these programs.

Cooper is an idiot. He’s no reporter and a lousy interviewer. What information did he bring to his viewer? He never let Lakin or his lawyer explain why he refused his orders. Cooper is just a Jerry Springer wannabe.

It was amazing to see this. I never watch lib tv and found it really hard to watch. It was not an interview; rather an inquisition. I have never seen anything like it. Imagine grown people acting like that. Whoever said the libs are little more than irresponsible children was right.
