Speaker Boehner: “The State Of Hawaii Has Said President Obama Was Born There. That’s Good Enough For Me” In his first interview since being sworn in as Speaker of the House, John Boehner makes it clear he has no questions about President Obama’s birth, saying “the State of Hawaii has said President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me.” In the exclusive interview with NBC’s Brian Williams–set to air tonight on NBC Nightly News–Boehner does not say he’ll tell members of Congress to simply put the matter of the president’s birth aside: WILLIAMS: I’m curious as to how much responsibility you feel specifically because of something that happened this morning. During the reading of the Constitution, Congressman Frank Pallone of New Jersey was reading a portion of the document, interrupted by someone who heckled from within the chamber. It was to express doubt over the President’s American citizenship. Provided you believe the President is an American citizen, you’ve got 12 members co-sponsoring legislation that does about the same thing, it expresses doubt. Would you be willing to say, “This is a distraction, I’ve looked at it to my satisfaction. Let’s move on.” BOEHNER: The state of Hawaii has said that President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me. WILLIAMS: Would you be willing to say that message to the 12 members in your caucus who seem to either believe otherwise or are willing to express doubt and have co-sponsored legislation? BOEHNER: Brian, when you come to the Congress of the United States, there are 435 of us. We’re nothing more than a slice of America. People come, regardless of party labels, they come with all kinds of beliefs and ideas. It’s the melting pot of America. It’s not up to me to tell them what to think.
Poster Comment: FReepers are not happy. They may be getting ready to stand on street corners, wearing funny costumes, waving signs.

LOL!! What a gullible moron. The "State of Hawaii" did not say anything of the sort. Perhaps some government stooge told him that but what if that person lied. LOL!! No revolution necessary. If this crap keeps happening, the government will soon be laughed out of existence.
I need to amend my comment to "FReepers and Alaskans are not happy". Well, you voted to put him in power. Enjoy it.
LOL! You have no idea how I voted. Stop pretending you have something of substance to offer here.
Is LOL a part of your native speech, like "eh"?
If it bothers you to have me laugh at you, I will try to restrain myself.
Hey, knock yourself out. If I lived in a hellhole like Alaska I'd probably be a mental case, too.
I live in a place where there is a glacial lake not far from my back door, not many people, moose walk around my yard in winter, I fence the garden to keep the bears from stomping it in the spring, I can walk a half a mile to a river for trout and salmon fishing and hunting in the fall, I can sometimes hear the wolves howling on the mountain across the river. To you I suppose it would be a hellhole. Just being here would probably scare the crap out of you. You should probably stay where you are.
