Comments on: Michele Bachmann: Obama’s Birth Certificate is Legal https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/04/21/michele-bachmann-obamas-birth/ Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:48:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.6 By: Cornflower https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/04/21/michele-bachmann-obamas-birth/#comment-502198 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:48:35 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2011/04/21/michele-bachmann-obamas-birth/#comment-502198 Watch it again. She deferred to the courts, but she never said, “I believe Obama is American” or any such. She said innocuous sentences, like, “That should settle it” and “as long as someone introduces it, I guess that’s over”. “As long as”? I am sorry, she needs to be asked, “So do you now believe Obama is American,” or, “when people ask about the President’s birth, you can answer, ‘He is American. I have seen a copy of his authenticated birth certificate’?”

As it stands, she can still say, “it is up to the county, etc.”, which allows the uninformed to continue believing this lie.

Instead of a link saying “More on Bachmann”, it should read “Moron Bachmann”.

All of the “birthers” should be aborted.

If it takes her this long to admit obvious and previously proven facts, that the “birther” claims were always a lie, then she’s still an idiot. All of the “birthers” should be aborted.

Isn’t it interesting how nobody made an issue of John McCain being born in Panama, a fact which is verifiably true? Then again, those who knew he was born there are also aware of
United States Code 1403 (a), which is why nobody questioned his citizenship. Unlike McCain, Obama was born in the US.

Speaking of McCain, why haven’t his complete Navy records been released to the public? Unlike the fiction of Obama’s citizenship, this remains a real issue, as does Sarah Palin’s affiliation with the Alaskan Independence Party.

Why didn’t we do it before?

She still owes my town (Concord, MA) an apology for her post-gaffe insult.

(“So I misplaced the battles Concord and Lexington by saying they were in New Hampshire. It was my mistake, Massachusetts is where they happened. New Hampshire is where they are still proud of it!”)

Sorry, Ms Bachman, it is too late to try to join the community of the sane.
