Top contender for Ga. governor wants to see proof of Obama birth

[CatWoman]

Nathan Deal, the U.S. congressman from Gainesville and one of the leading GOP candidates for governor, wants to see Barack Obama’s birth certificate. (H/T Political Insider.)

In an online chat this morning, Tom Crawford of Capitol Impact, one of the most respected reporters at the state Capitol, asked Deal whether he believes Obama is legally eligible to serve as president. Deal replied:

“I am joining several of my colleagues in the House in writing a letter to the President asking that he release a copy of his birth certificate so we can have an answer to this question.”

Back in July, Deal was asked a similar question by Mike Stark of the liberal Firedoglake blog. The exchange outside the U.S. Capitol was caught on a Youtube video. (Deal is at :45 and at 1:20 on the video.)

In the video, Deal is asked whether opponents need some basis in fact or reality to suggest Obama is not a legitimate president. Deal responds:

“You know, the best way to do that, I think, is to produce the birth certificate and let that be the end of it. I don`t think that`s been done yet.

In today’s online chat, Deal also enlisted in the 10th Amendment movement, promising that if elected governor he would “reassert the role of states rights” and “reclaim the rights that are reserved to our state” under the U.S. Constitution.

I'll not have sympathy for the people who pout about the opt-out public option. If you don't want your state left in the cold, elect better people - period.

20. Mr. Deal should speak to this person: the REPUBLICAN gov. of Hawaii.

or THIS person...GOP Head of Hawaii Department of Health

But those poor birther lunatics don't care about truth & reality, anyways.

21. "Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961

unanimously signed by the US Congress, July 2009.

"Unanimously"...that means republicans included, birther lunatics.
