From the WaPo article above quoting Palin:
"Do you question his faith and citizenship?" Palin was asked today during an onstage interview hosted by the Long Island Association. Her answer was brief and to the point.
"I don't, and those are distractions," she said to some applause. "What we're concerned about is the economy.
From the CNN article quoting Bachmann:
"We should take the president at his word," Bachmann said. Then asked if she'd be willing to flat out state the president is a citizen and Christian, the congresswoman said she was more focused on economic concerns.
You're a hoot pissant, you really are.
C'mon, pissant. Both more or less said the same fecking thing. And *if* I were to take away points it'd be from Bachmann for her insistence that Obama be taken at his word.
Regardless, neither lady should be hammered for being unwilling to get caught up in this.
