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?"

Obama IS a U.S. citizen

Personally, I think he was born in Hawaii.
But the Obama camp is not making the issue go away when it’d be easy.
One of two likelihoods,
1. Some other information on the long form that is problematic.
2. The precedent it’d set for asking for the Occidental records, etc.
There’s something, somewhere, but we may not know what.
WHAT??? I've done much "family research" in recent years...in Massachusetts,New Hampshire and Connecticut and in Massachusetts,I've *personally* seen official birth,death and marriage records dating back to the early 1900's.
Destroyed? How convenient!
It would be against the law for Obama to release his “Law practice client list” and there is no evidence whatsoever that Obama had a “Pakistan Passport.”
However, I have no problem with the rest of the list as long as from now on every presidential candidate will release her or his parent’s marriage certificate, elementary and high school records, college transcripts, medical records etc..
Make it official Gibbs show that "COLB document" in a court of law. I suppose Obama is not that "Exasperated".
He’s the man who never was.

They can mock, they can laugh, they can call us any names they like.
But Stonewalling aint going to cut it.
This is not going away. Until they fire their high priced lawyers and start showing some records.
On 21st of January, 2009. Most likely his first official act in the White House.
It would be one bea-frikkin-utiful day if Sarah Palin were to step out in front of the media with her long form BC.
Seal the deal, Sarah!
Very nice summary!
I agree with an upthread post - even assuming the Hawaii birth is legitimate, there obviously is SOMETHING in the paper trail that is highly suspect at a minimum. If you release nothing, then there can’t be any questions from the supine media. It sickens me that he can get away with the lack of a paper trail (including his college transcript, medical records, etc.) - if this were a Republican, the media and Dem Congress would be going berzerk.
Right you are. DEMAND that Obama’s original long form birth certificate be presented under oath in court.
Republican politicians have resigned for less evidence than what is against obama.
Yes, my whole point! Obama “may” be a citizen, but is not a natural born citizen.
Per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. Barack Obama is NOT eligible for the Presidency because he is not a natural born citizen. John A. Bingham, primary framer, 14th Amendment, states- “Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” Obama himself has stated that he is the son of a Kenyan- Kenya being a foreign sovereignty. Thus, Obama is not a natural born citizen even if he were actually born in Hawaii.
Bingo! This is exactly where I am at. I am not declaring anything other than the Constitution is not being adhered to because there is not a process to obtain all the facts and sort this out. I am more concerned about the sloppiness going on here and precedence being established via this "don't ask don't tell" charade than anything related to Obama specifically.
All they have to do to put this to sleep forever is ... produce the birth certificate. Simple enough, right? Just show the world the birth certificate. Why is that a problem? Unless there is a problem.
And Obama will make a weak defendent in court.

“Given that Obama’s been proven a shameless liar about such a laundry list of things, why would anyone believe him about anything, even the weather? He’s withheld every bit of documentation about himself. If anyone made up a story about up what has transpired in the U.S.A. with Obama’s becoming president, no one would buy the script because it’s just too far-fetched. Any one of the things known about him should have been enough to send him to the bottom of hopefuls.”

If Gibbs had two firing neurons in his skull they'd die of loneliness.

Yes, according to Obama’s Democrat State run media.
