The press secretary for Barack Obama, who first laughed at a question about the president's constitutional eligibility and later said there are 10,000 things more important, now is stumbling over the explanation.
"I can't tell you why somebody believes, despite all preponderance of the evidence, that the president was born
uhm
in
uhh, uhh
was born here and not somewhere else. I've stopped trying to explain that," Robert Gibbs said in a recent news briefing.
The response, in which he apparently meant, "I can't tell you why somebody believes that the president was born somewhere else and not here," came to a question about Obama's promises, and the lack of follow through, to get beyond a partisan atmosphere in Washington.
The subject was the confrontational town hall meetings at which members of Congress are being blasted by their constituents for pursuing a nationalized health care program.
"If you look at the protests that we saw outside of the building yesterday as a kind of continuum, from the tea parties, then the controversy over the birth certificate, then some of the anger from the Gates-Crowley episode, you look back at that
." came a comment from the press corps.

Good night! Gibbs almost stumbled and said “Kenya.” He had to hold himself back. Come on Gibbs, let it all out! You will feel so much better. It's the truth that will set you free.

Interesting Mr. Gibbs uses the legal phase, “preponderance of the evidence” - as if it were conclusive re all facts.
As we know, “preponderance” simply means - more of this - than that. It does not address the value or weight of the assumed “evidence” (allegedly) presented.
POE is widely known as the - lowest evidentiary threshold - and typically used only in licensing or administrative hearings.
It is not evidence “beyond reasonable doubt” nor “conclusive”.
So it’s not surprising that Gibbs tries the “persuade” using this tired rhetoric. That’s all they have to agrue.
The wheels are slowly coming off this fraud.

Good point on preponderance of evidence as a low threshold.

He lived with his Aunt and Uncle when he first came to DC looking for work. They set him up in the basement and his cousins (15 years his junior) started calling him “Basement Bob”, a name that has stuck to this day.
His Unccle actually tried to employ him in his tax return business. Bob lasted about a week, he couldn’t understand how to do returns. Kind of a telling omen of his future employment in the tax returned challenged Obama administration.

Herr Gibbels Would be laughing at that if Gibbs and Goebbels were fictional characters. But, regrettably, Gibbs is still active and in a position to damage the country.
