Boortz is a Libertarian, but he’s dismissive of Birther claims. I don’t know his sister’s politics, either. I wouldn’t expect much help from Boortz.

“He lived in Indonesia, for crying out loud, for much of his childhood; that and Hawaii. Well guess what? I lived in Hawaii too, and I can tell you that as a student in Hawaiian schools you weren’t exactly saturated with American culture and history. Hawaiian history? Sure. And that’s understandable. Hawaiians are very proud of their heritage. But U.S. history? Only what the schools absolutely had to include. And that private school, Punahou, that Obama went to in Honolulu? Here’s another “guess what?” My sister taught there; right around the time that Barry was a student. Again – not a place where you’re going to learn what a blessing it is to be an American and a citizen of the greatest nation on earth … ever.”
Boortz’s wiki page says nothing about Hawaii.
About Duckworth: wikipedia says (fwiw), “Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand, to Frank and Lamai S. Duckworth. Her father (died 2005) was a former longtime member of the U.S. military who traced his family roots in America all the way back to the Revolutionary War; her mother, a native of Thailand, is of Chinese ancestry. She has one brother, Tom. Her family moved around Southeast Asia due to her father’s work with the United Nations and international companies, and she is fluent in both Thai and Indonesian.
The family settled in Hawaii when she was 16.”
Her father worked for the UN and international companies. They moved around Southeast Asia, and since she speaks Indonesian, one can assume some time in Indonesia. SAD worked for USAID in Jakarta and taught expat little kids, around Maya’s age. Duckworth was born in 1968, so between Obama and his sister Maya. (Genevieve Cook was also in Jakarta simultaneously with Obama, as were the Geithners.) Is it possible that Duckworth knew Obama in Jakarta and in Hawaii, or perhaps in Singapore, too?
Information keeps coming out. I would suggest that there may be a thawing between we "birthers" and previous scoffers. Even El Sordo admitted he was wrong about Obama misleading everyone regarding where he was born.
Apart from that, I suspect the level of cooperation might depend on how he is approached.
