WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A vocal group of conspiracy theorists known as “birthers” are riling the White House with their persistent claim that Barack Obama is not an American citizen and therefore ineligible to be president.
The claim that the United States’ first African-American president was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, first emerged during his presidential campaign, but it has garnered more media attention in the summer “silly season,” a traditionally slow news period when many Americans are on vacation.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs looked exasperated at his briefing on Monday when a reporter asked him, “Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?”
“If I had some DNA, it wouldn’t assuage those that don’t believe he was born here,” Gibbs replied. “But I have news for them and for all of us: The president was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the 50th state of the greatest country on the face of the earth. He’s a citizen.
“A year-and-a-half ago I asked that the birth certificate be put on the Internet because Lord knows, you got a birth certificate and you put it on the Internet, what else could be the story?”
The digitally scanned copy of the “certification of live birth” from Hawaii’s Department of Health shows Obama was born in Honolulu at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961.
The nonpartisan FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, examined, handled and photographed the original certificate in an effort to put the controversy to rest.
“We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the USA, just as he has always said.”
FactCheck.org also pointed out that Obama’s American mother and Kenyan father placed an advertisement in a local Honolulu newspaper on August 13, 1961, announcing their son’s birth.
Gibbs, who has ridiculed “birthers” in the past, impatiently dismissed the claims as “made-up, fictional nonsense.” “There are 10,000 more important issues for people in this country to discuss, rather than whether or not the president is a citizen.”
Despite the seemingly incontrovertible evidence, the issue shows no sign of disappearing off the radar of right-wing radio talkshow hosts and others who say the birth certificate is a forgery to hide the fact that Obama is foreign-born.
Republican Congressman Mike Castle was booed at a town hall meeting after he insisted Obama, a Democrat, was an American citizen. Video of the meeting went viral and has been viewed nearly 700,000 times on YouTube.
Fellow Republican Congressman John Campbell is a co-sponsor of legislation that would in the future force presidential candidates to produce their birth certificates.
Meanwhile, several lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility to serve as president have been dismissed; and a U.S. army major made headlines by arguing he should not be deployed to Afghanistan on the grounds that the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces was not an American citizen.

This is a chance Obomba the Magnificent to teach “Whitey” a lesson. The Ass Clown Obomba needs to STFU …
[...] the rest here: The B-Cast: What is the ‘Teachable Moment’ in Cambridge? Filed Under: Latest News [...]
The teachable moment is how Obama can manipulate a mistake to turn it into an affirmative action “plus” moment.
Obie and fellow racist Gates will “meet” with Crowley and then they will all trot out to the microphone after a 45 minute session of “really, we just need to all better understand each other” BS, and here it comes…
Obama will declare Crowley to be free of racial bigotry! Crowley will get the Obama seal of approval!
When you consider what just happened, the appropriate thing to occur would be for Crowley to tell Obama that, President or not, the best thing he can do is to shut his trap until he knows what’s going on and, oh by the way, lose those bigot-blinders he is wearing.
ONLY IGNORANTS VOTE FOR OBAMA
he doesn’t act American, which is my issue
It was unfortunate that this issue with Sgt. Crowley and professor Gates ever had to arise, however, the fact that Ms. King now sees Obama in the light that he truly represents, we can only hope that millions of other Americans who voted for Obama will also see the light and embrace this teachable moment before they run head first into the oncoming freight train speeding straight at them.
please play the audio you played on the radio 07-28-09 of the white police officer who was reluctant to respond to the black bank robber on your tv show. we laughed until we cried. thanks keep telling the truth liberals hate the truth.

America…the teachable moment should be with the two racists in this story…Gates and Bilderberg Bush-Obama.
Both who jumped out of their black skin to, once again, to cry foul!
The teachable moment for Gates should be that he is an educated, professional man that should act like one! He should know as an educated, professional man that a smile and cooperation is the best way to conquer a difficult misunderstanding.
Surely he must have encountered students within his classes throughout the years who have jumped to conclusions over his comments or become irate over his comments…did he not learn how to handle such a situation then?
Then we have a teachable moment for Bilderberg Bush-Obama…this man was known to be inexperienced and naive and not qualified because of it!
He has not had enough experience working with professional people…and in dealing with the general public.
He was, afterall, just a Community Organizer that worked with people on the street.
He must have learned how to deal with irate people who jumped to conclusions about any situation!
Apparently, he didn’t even learn anything there!
Now he is trying to “teach” America a thing or two!
Give me a break…there is nothing to learn from this man except how not to act…in any situation!
Inexperienced and naive are the operative words for Bilderberg Bush-Obama…Gates should have known better than to act like a punk from the inner city!
The only thing America learned from this revealing situation…is that they elected a racist into the highest office in our land!
