Here's The Right Side Of It
With a hat tip to 630KHOW’s Peter Boyles, here’s a rather astounding YouTube video clip from last night’s Fox News O’Reilly Factor, featuring Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham as guests. The issue at hand was Barack Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to hold office – or rather more specifically, his citizenship and religion. With his usual condescension, overbearing rhetoric, de-facto name-calling, interruptive behavior and obstinate ignorance of some glaring veracity problems in the Obama life-narrative, O’Reilly has become a sort of obfuscating leftist grand protector of the President’s still-hidden documented past. The video link follows:

“…I don’t think there’s any effect in this country at all on any public policy about the President’s religion or his birth certificate. It doesn’t matter.”…”
Really. Does the Constitution matter, Mr. O’Reilly?
In response to Juan Williams’ question about why there are now nine U.S. Congressmen who want legislation passed to verify Obama’s citizenship, O’Reilly had this to say:
“Alright, you want me to answer that question? Because they’re pinheads and they’re playing to the crowd. And it has nothing to do with the business of the nation. Nothing…”
And it is very contradictory to O’Reilly’s position that the numbers in the crowd have actually grown – to view the debate about the issue that doesn’t matter.
Mary Katharine Ham’s point that the leftists who are now asking the questions are being treated very differently from the right-wingers who are asking the very same questions drew this from the host:
“Here’s the deal. I want everybody to understand this. The issue doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. Sane, clear-thinking people understand the President is not a Muslim, and he wasn’t born in Indonesia or whatever they’re puttin’ out there. So, why does Meet The Press and NBC News take up valuable air time to hammer a guy who has nothin’ to do with it – Boehner? He has no dog in the hunt….”
Let’s break this down:
1) The issue does matter because The Constitution matters.
2) I have some questions about the historical background and origins of the President that he has refused to answer. So, I’m not able to think clearly and my sanity is at question?
3) The purpose of the Meet the Press grilling of John Boehner was an attempt to get him to repudiate the voters and Congressmen who are asking the question, “Who are you, Obama, and from whence came you?” - which Boehner refused to do.
O’Reilly apparently cannot think clearly enough to figure this out.
Combes s/b Colmes. Whatever, he’s STILL an insufferable a$$.
O’Reilly has his thirty pieces of silver...he has sold out his country and his people; and has chosen Barabbas.
Sissy Matthews said last night that Obama is a citizen because his birth was announced in the paper!!! What an IDIOT!!
He’s a citizen, just NOT a Natural Born one!!
By not following the constitution, the progressives are slowly eroding away the foundation of our great nation.
Hey Fox!, I hope you are getting some new viewers by using BOR, but a lot of us here haven't watched his show in years. His arrogance that he knows better than the facts in front of him continue to be an afront to informed viewers.
No, Bill, they don’t. They may be sane. They may assume he is a citizen. But they cannot know because no proof has ever been put forward that he is a citizen. Everything that could corroborate his citizenship is locked away from public view. A sane person wonders why the president refuses to put forward his college records, long-form birth certificate or passport.

His parents registered him wrong in school? All these years celebrating Ramadan? Traveling to Pakistan? Wow!
Bill Orielly, he must know the truth, he went to Harvard, like Osama. FUBO, FUBO.
Belief without basis has a word - irrational.
Damn, that's good. I need to research more of what Chesterton has to say.
Why isn’t FoxNews putting Beck into BOR’s time slot?
O’Reilly fades to insignificance in 5,4,3,2,1
Pinhead or patriot? Pinhead.
I turned him off long ago.
I turned off the television completely long ago. There’s absolutely nothing to be gained there, and lots to lose...first and foremost precious hours of a very short life, the most valuable thing any man has.
How the heck would BOR know? He’s not particularly sane himself.
The ONLY reason NYC Bill Oreily is on the air is because he has no substantive competition.
If CNN had been smart, CNN is institutionally incapable of reporting news, they would have unleashed Glen Beck in the same time slot.
Oreily would be at home on CNN or MSNBC without changing a single sylable.
FNC should just let Oreily go. When is his contract up?
” Im sick of hearing about the interview. Youd think thats all he ever did. Last week, he asked Dennis Miller for an opinion and Miller said that for some strange reason you seem to want BO to like you, really like you. Bill danced all around that. His segments with Beck are painful. If Glenn gets too serious, BOR takes a turn and makes jokes and what could have been a great discussion ends with Bill shooing him off like a pesky fly. Must be in Becks contract to appear. Love it when Laura Ingraham gets testy with him. I do watch the show pretty often cause I usually like the guests.”
Well stated. You and I are of the same opinion.

Thank You!! You have many more articles stating that Obama was Kenyan-born
All we need now is for someone in our “Congress” to have enough backbone to address this issue that Obama “WAS” Kenyan-Born.
Obama is not eligible to be POTUS!!!!
Obama needs to be removed from the WH ASAP!!!
