I happened to be driving when he was sworn in. That is the only time I listen to the radio. I noted the comment that he was not using the Bible but just had his hand on the podium.
I guess it is his choice but it might show something about him.
Whining, lying, crying RINO wimp.
Instant RINO, just add power.
Resign now!
not a good answer from Boehner. I could have done better without even having to get into Obama specifically.
My answer would have been “I have no idea where Obama was born. This isn’t about Obama. This issue illustrates we need a process that ensures our Presidents and officials meet the requirements specified in the Constitution. There are countless times when private citizens have to produce birth certificates to prove their eligibility. We should ask no less of our Presidents. The fact that Obama has not offered a long form birth certificate to clear up this issue is puzzling to me. But I am more concerned about precedent and the overall process. This is not about Obama... “
Birthers have lost in the Federal courts & the military courts.
But there is an election coming up in 2012. In all 57 (?) states, candidates must meet the requirements to hold office to appear on the ballot.
If only one, or a few states refuse to certify Obama’s eligibility, the Birther cause will have been won.
Note that ONE state, Hawaii, has been accused of hiding info on Obama’s eligibility, therefore blocking Birther's efforts to get at the truth. One state could also end his reelection bid in 2012!
Is *everybody* in the Stupid Party stupid?
So stupid that they believe a person spends huge amounts of money to hide something he has no reason to hide?
Of course, evidence should never be tested. That would be ungentlemanly.
What a vapid, empty gray suit.
They did? When did this happen?
The place to address this issue is at the state level by requiring documentary evidence of eligibility from candidates ahead of the next presidential election.
Making it all about Obama is the wrong strategy.
Hey, John! They said Sun Yat Sen was born there, too.
Did he cry when he was talking about this?
Frankly, I’d rather John Boehner, and the Republicans, work on repealing and defeating Obama’s policies, no matter WHERE he was born.
Geesh, some of you on this board are like a virgin on prom nite that didn’t last long enough to get his pants unzipped.
So where is HI Governor AberCrombie the Commie with Obama birth certificate? LoL.
Oh, that’s right, after AberCommie claimed that it was a high priority, he went silent on the issue and he is now deflecting Obama birth certificate questions saying he is focusing on the Hawaiian economy.
Yeah sure Commie. did the Hawaiian AG tell you that Hawaii can’t prove Obama was born in Hawaii? You’ve been duped clown. The Obama DoH “vital records” are of dubious quality. They are crap.
You better find some forger and corrupt officials to make Obama an NBC, but that is an impossible task.
I can understand Boehner trying to sidestep Brian William’s set up.
There’s no upside for the new Speaker
to get entangled..at this time.
I just wish he had said something like “ There are court cases pending , I am not sure if they are the same as LTC Lakin’s ,
either way ,
it’s probably better that I don’t comment.”
That would have the first time court cases over eligibility and LTC Lakin
would have made it on air at NBC-
if they didn’t decide to just edit it all out.
Williams framed the issue as “ the President is an American citizen..”
Which is clearly not the issue .
Is Williams that stupid or just being slick ?
Boehner did not fall to William’s demand that he
order the other House members to cease and desist
and fall into the NBC line.
Williams -”..youve got 12 members co-sponsoring legislation that does about the same thing,
it expresses doubt.
Would you be willing to say,
This is a distraction, Ive looked at it to my satisfaction. Lets move on.
