As usual, CNN is late to the story.

The significant thing is that they exposed this story at all. Perhaps their love affair with Obama is breaking down.

Wow! Read your own link. Read it thoroughly, not just the headlines. But you won't though, will you? Because the link debunks your entire theme of threads. As they usually do.

Simple maths from the link indicates 7 in 10 americans think O was definitely/probably born here. The headline of course is a furious spin.
"Definitely in the United States got the vote from 42 percent of the respondents and probably in the United States another 29 percent."

The definitely not / probably nots are approx 3 in 10:
"Sixteen percent said Obama probably was born in another nation, and 11 percent said he definitely was born somewhere other than the U.S."

How so?

Here's the poll;

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/im...4/rel10k1a.pdf

ONLY 42% say definitely born in the US.

Maybe you should read it, cause the link to the poll debunks your opinion.

If given a choice between "Definitely Born in..." and "Probably Born in...", those that say probably have some DOUBT, obviously

...to be fair, the doubt that O may be born here is also among those in "probably not born in" category. As I mentioned before, a more realistic way to look at this is that 7 in 10 think he is definitely / probably born here, & 3 in 10 think he is definitely/probably not born here. And all this is no bad news for Obama at all.

Those 3 in 10 are crack head, moronic Republicans. No need to take them seriously at all.

I am not a birther but wonder if in fact it were proven he was not qualified to run for president, does that mean all his signed into law bills would be null and void? I am just curious.
