There seems to be an inordinate number of stories warning Birthers that they are wasting their time. Sounds like the media is getting worried about something. So much for concept of investigative reporting.

Stephonopolous and David Gregory are going bonkers trying to shut down the inquiry.

Obviously, we’re on to something.

No. They are trying to keep the whole birther thing in the spotlight to make conservatives look kooky. Look how they keep asking our potential candidates if they believe Obama was born in the USA.

Totally agree. I heard Jeffrey Tubin on CNN the other night making the same kind of comments. The media has realized the “birther” label has not worked and are now changing the label to “nutty”. That will not work either. It is not just the BC it is ALL OF OBAMA’S SCHOOL RECORDS. They may get away with keeping the BC sealed but why the school records? We have been told by a reporter that he is the most intelligent President ever to serve, shouldn’t we be able to look at his school records to confirm that statement? The only “nutty” part of this whole thing imo is Obama’s secrecy and the media following their leader.

I do not care what they write as long as it keeps the story in the forefront of daily news.

I have been pretty much an agnostic on the birth issue as I believe that the courts will never rule on it and risk a huge constitutional crisis. They just won't do it.

As for his "religion," he didn't reference "my muslim faith" to George Stephanopolous on national television because he is a Christian.

The media is pounding the drum hard. Trying to get any republican to say that they think Obama is a Christian and born in the united states.
If the media is doing it, it is because the white house wants it done.

They must be nervous.

But they are trying misdirection. Again, the reality of the situation is, it doesn’t matter where Obama was born. His father, be he, Obama or Sotoro was not an American. Therefore Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen.

I think in the end Obama may release his birth certificate showing that he was most likely born Barry Sotoro. He can weather that perhaps. But if the issue is clear that his parents had to be American Citizens for him to be a Natural Born Citizen, he will pack it in and give up.

He can not weather the Law. Nor the fact that he broke it to get into office. He can handle a name change he had little to do with. But not the fact that his father was Indonesian.

That has been the big misdirection all along. Demand his college records. If he presented himself as a foreign student for aid, he can’t weather that either.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

They are worried their credibility will tank. Oh, excuse me while I laugh since it is already in the tank.

Your short post says it all. Why would they worry about us? If we're shooting ourselves in the foot, shouldn't they be happy?

And yes. Journalism is dead. Completely.
