Does such a focus distract us from going after the left on its over all agenda? Some believe that it is repeating the same mistake made in going after Clinton himself rather than his policies. The trick is to focus on the fact that no one is above the law and not given the appearance of a personal vendetta.

Palin doesn't "get it" (publicly anyway).

She shouldn't deflect from the "Natural Born" issue by claiming it's something else.

[IbJensen]

The more the prospective Republicrat candidates pontificate, the more they disqualify themselves.

I was an avid Palin fan before the Hoarse-Whisperer selected her, but when I saw the Armada containing the neo-conservatives sail up to Alaska to embrace the Governor I began having second thoughts.

We may not have formally met our ‘true conservative’ candidate yet.

Pretty disappointing,Sarah.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Can the person who has been so distracting and annoying be named?

[Aria]

She will just be playing into her opponents hands if she makes this one of her big issues .... it must be left to others. Sounds like the SCOTUS is looking at this again.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Palin continues to show savvy political instincts...despite the “polls”, birtherism is not a priority to a vast majority of conservatives.

[MEGoody]

Um, Sarah, people have the right to voice their concerns about whatever issues are on their priority list.

I used to think it was silly to waste time questioning Obama's eligibility. But after all this time, I've still not seen a birth certificate for the guy who purportedly was born in Hawaii. It's not my primary concern, but it IS a concern.

Annoying?

She’s starting to annoy me.

[Leader_Of_The _Conservatives]

I know you don’t like her, but really NYTimes? Come on!

I am also a birther and feel Sarah’s answer did not say “I believe he was born her or is a Christian” we should just focus on the issues that matter right now. I think it is a good move and shows she doesn’t need to prescribe and attack Obama on each issue. But Paulbots like yourself don’t see a statesman/woman when you see one. She will voice her opinion on the issue when it counts.

[sushiman]

Palin did, however, distance herself from the so-called birthers, who believe Obama was not born in the United States, and others who contend he is not Christian, as he insists, but Muslim. She said she does not question the president’s faith or citizenship and added, “It’s distracting. It gets annoying. Let’s stick with what really matters.”

I’d never vote for her now . No better than the rest of the RINOS on this issue .

[NJ_Tom]

Let me begin by stating that I am a die-hard "birther." Nothing I have seen convinces me that 0bama was ever a US citizen and his (easily confirmed) use of a fraudulent Social Security No. seems confirmation that he is what we now refer to as an "undocumented worker."

That said, I think Sarah's advice is spot on. We should focus on getting the man out of office.

Once that's done, then is the time to investigate. When it is proven that his presidency was illegitimate, all that he has done becomes undone and our new, conservative President will have two Supreme Court vacancies to fill!

If we move too soon, Biden might be the one who nominates trhe replacements for Kagan and Sotomajor!!
