Why would I be bothered by something that is not true? Obama was born in Hawaii. I am not nearly as bothered by a bunch of nut jobs as the not jobs are bothered by the fact that Obama is eligible to be POTUS and there is nothing they can do about it.
Of course he was born in Hawaii. Why did his literary agents get it so wrong for so long?

Do you have evidence that his birth certificate is an error? A birth certificate can be used to obtain a passport, a driver's license and to prove one's place of birth, an article cannot. What about the article with his birth announcement, it says he was born in Hawaii. Can you prove that was an error? There is far more evidence to prove that he was born in Hawaii than there is to prove that he isn't, but I think you know that.
Yes, I agree he was born in Hawaii.

I get what you are saying, not that I agree but I understand and I am open to listen to or debate with anyone who has substantive arguments. If you think the birther movement is a waste of time, you may want to tell them that and while you're at it, you can educate them and tell them why you believe, based on his record and policy Obama should be voted out of office - maybe they'll learn something. Without birthers, there would be no birther movement. Everything cannot be blamed on the Democrats or the left. Birthers are part of the right and if I were a Conservative, I certainly wouldn't want them representing me. Silence gives consent.

Three days later the story is being elaborated on this right-wing conservative blog:

RUTHLESS ROUNDUP: FREEDOMS ENEMIES - THE OBAMA STORY

These are more than a month older than any Birther post that can be found posted by any PUMA. Go ahead, prove otherwise. Find the imaginary PUMA Birther posts that are as old as this or older. You can't. You won't find one close.

Ben Smith got it wrong. Now you don't have to.
oh the first is mar 2008????

A 2007 posting at Yahoo Answers asked “If Obama bin HUSSEIN al Barack was born in Kenya, how can he run for president in the US?â€

Democratic blog, The Blue State, who wrote on July 23, 2007, “Obama isn't technically a northerner either since he was born in Kenya... I like a more international view of the world so I like the fact he was born somewhere else.â€



darn in my world 2007 was before 2008

Anyone who wasn't present at the birth, and I'm pretty sure that includes all of us, doesn't know for sure.

Nothing about his life would surprise me. He's just a tool put in place to do the job of destroying America. Where he came from is anybody's guess. He's a world class liar, and I honestly don't believe a word that falls out of his mouth. He's also an idiot, stupid beyond belief. He is living proof that education does not equal smarts.

If you look up 'enigma' you'll get a picture of Barack Hussein Obama.

Who cares? It makes no difference whatsoever.

Since we know that he was not, no. It does not bother me one whit.

And 1/3 of Democrats believed that Bush either perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or knew about them beforehand.

Yes. We have the first hand testimony of the person who made the error.
