Certainly a lot of prominent "conservatives" shy away from the subjects of the place of Obama's birth and his likely lack of constitutional qualification for the presidency, as if it were the third rail. It's Kenyans - not only Obama's grandmother but also at least three parliamentarians and the Kenyan ambassador to the US - who have provided us with much of the evidence supporting the proposition that Obama was born in Kenya.
John LeBoutellier (former congressman) shouldn't be weighing in on this serious legal matter via a novel. He shouldn't be blurring the line between fiction and fact. That's indicative of a man who has been cowered.
