Another Republican Congresscritter questions Obama's nationality
I guess this one went into all sorts of weird rants.

First District Congressman John Sullivan said Friday that the nation's big problems can't be solved without bipartisanship, but that didn't prevent him from scorching President Barack Obama and the Democrats.

Sullivan opened his remarks to the Tulsa Republican Club by questioning Obama's nationality and alluding to an "enemies list" being compiled from e-mails critical of the administration's health care reform proposal. He spent most of the next 40 minutes attacking the president on matters ranging from energy to management.

"This is a scary time in Washington," he said. "It's a very frightening time. I see Barack Obama is creating an enemies list of people who oppose this miserable health care plan. I think that's frightening. That's from a guy that can't even show a long-form birth certificate. I think we all ought to be prepared to fight that."

3. Sullivan...sounds Irish to me...
maybe someone needs to remind him of how the Irish were viewed for decades in this country.
