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.

Also from the NBC interview: Asked to name a program that the U.S. could do without to save money, Boehner said he didn't have one "off the top of my head." Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
It matters not where hObama was born, since his father was a British Kenyan subject. That makes O a dual citizen, and not "a natural born US citizen". The birth certificate is needed to prove that BO senior was listed as his father. It's his certificate of Kenyan-ism.
No, that's not true at all, but at this point, who cares?
Obviously things are so screwed up that Boehner and the GOP are going to need at least 100 years of rule to fix them.
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.
That is a magnificient view you have, eskimo.
When I had the misfortune of working up there, I remember seeing all the used Sea-Train containers that had been converted into housing.
“Reagan nearly tripled the deficit in his eight years, and never made a realistic proposal for cutting it. As the biographer Lou Cannon noted, it was unfair for critics to say that Reagan was trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, since ‘he never seriously attempted to balance the budget at all.’ ” - Garry Wills
Is that your place. Uhh, it's nice too.
-- Here's Yukon and him hunting one fine summer day.
How's yukon and Mad Dog up there? As you know, when they hear Palin driving around they take their once a year shower (well for Mad Dog it is getting de-ticked & de-liced] ... they call that activity getting all slicked up for the misses.
-- Here's Eskimo that morning which explains why he missed the big hunting trip. Actually, there is a rumor M. Doggie Dawg got him deliberately drunk to have some alone quality time with Yukie, but gee; he's have to be mad and as horny as a leg humping dog to actually do that.
LOL!! You're wasting your time with all that childish innuendo. By the way, how old are you?
Actually, it is true. And as to who cares, only the people who still give a shit about our country. The mindless sheeple, instead of taking their country back from a corrupt, out- of-control government, prefer to watch bimbos in "Dancing with the Stars," or stay busy texting the friends that they can't talk to face-to-face.
In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of their experience but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. I remember reminding badeye that a GOP majority in the House meant that the guy in charge was a 19 year Congressional veteran who voted for Medicare Part D and TARP.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
How could you remind that mindless dimwit of anything?
