The "birther" movement begun by prominent Montgomery County, Pa. Democrat Philip J. Berg is back thanks to another Democrat, Hawaiian Gov.-Elect Neil Abercrombie.
Berg, who had served eight years as Pennsylvania's deputy attorney general, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, Aug. 21, 2008 claiming that Barack Obama was ineligible to be president because he was born on foreign soil to a foreign parent hence violating the Constitution's natural born citizen requirement.
Berg was a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Berg's suit was dismissed in October 2008 by Judge R. Barclay Surrick and rejected by the Supreme Court two months later.
Berg, however, did not go away and the unwillingness by Obama to release documents that would quickly and conclusively put the matter to rest soon started other Americans going hmmmm.
By August 2010, according to a CNN poll, only 42 percent of Americans believe for certain Obama is eligible for the job.
Granted another 29 percent believe he probably is so it hasn't reached the point of a complete collapse of confidence in government.

Agreed. I am totally of the Neil-put-his-big-fat-foot-in-it school of thinking. The in-the-knowers in Obama’s camp probably wet themselves when they heard it. Now they will downplay it, but as you said, it’s too late. Neil gave the snowball a shove, and now it’s slowly but surely rolling down the hill, gathering mass and momentum as it goes.
So I caught it in the drugstore tonight. Basically said that Prince William doesn’t like her because 1) She has dissed Lady Di 2) Her arm around the Queen was VERY improper 3) Michele Obama is an attention whore who would distract from the whole affair, etc....
Frankly, I was disappointed. I thought it would say something about how Obama is an illegitimate, Kenyan-born, impostor.

Thanks, FT.
Sounds like Wills (unlike his dingbat father) has a good head on his shoulders. Perhaps there’s hope for the monarchy, after all.
FWIW
