...then it just emboldens the nutjobs. Then the next thing the birthers will demand is his school records. Because they also claim that he applied as a foreign citizen to get scholarships. Then his passports and travel records. And it will just go on.

Obama has released a Certificate of Live Birth, which is good enough for any job requiring you to show proof of citizenship (e.g. govt job). If that can't satisfy the nutjobs, then nothing will. But in addition to this, the govt of Hawaii (led by a repug governor) has twice confirmed the authenticity of the records. And there is a birth announcement for Obama in a Hawaii newspaper.

So let the birthers scream and shout. I'm impressed with how Obama is ignoring this entire hoopla. Gibbs was great in his press conference today when asked about the birthers.

In fact, letting the birthers scream and shout is great. It just makes the entire right-wing look even more stupid. It's certainly entertaining me.
