White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today admitted that the questions about Barack Obama's eligibility to be president simply won't go away, even though he contends there are 10,000 things "more important" for Americans to worry about.
Gibbs appeared exasperated by the issue, even when it was raised by left-leaning pundit Bill Press, who phrased his interest this way: "Robert, I hate to bring this up but somebody has to … Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?"
"No," said Gibbs. "I mean, the God's honest truth is no. I mean, Bill, let's understand this – and I almost hate to indulge in such an august setting as the White House – and I mean this in seriousness – the White House briefing room discussing the made-up, fictional nonsense of whether or not the president was born in this country.
"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?" Gibbs continued.
"Here's the deal, Bill. If I had some DNA, it wouldn't assuage those that don't believe he was born here. 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," Gibbs said.
Gibbs then made reference to Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House, who previously has been the only journalist at the briefings to raise that issue.

Thanks, I’m afraid I don’t read faithfully enough to immediately recogize the ... usual suspects.
Left-Leaning? Good grief the man is to the left of Castro.
The Leaning Tower of Press?
Anyway, a guy like that would never have asked this question if Obama didn’t want it to be asked and if Gibbs or someone hadn’t primed him to do it.
“Because for $15, you can get an Internet address and say whatever you want,” Gibbs said.
Yes and for about the same amount Obama can present his long form BC.
I’ve heard (have not seen) that Obama’s notice of birth was in the local newspaper in Hawaii on or around 8/4/61 unfortunately also my birthday :-(......... Is this factual?
I’m sure that you could do a better job.
UMMMM What the heck does DNA have to do with a person's birth place? All we want is the ORIGINAL birth certificate. Not a proven-fraudulent "COLB". The fact that the 0bama campaign put up the obvious fake proves, at least to me, that something is TERRIBLY fishy at minimum, and a massive cover-up of a huge breach of the US Constitution at worse.
” You may notice almost all of this ‘escalation’ has been artificial, on the part of the State-run media “
The Media has been dragged kicking and screaming into talking about it this much.
I suspect you may know that.
If it isn’t such a big deal, and of so little importance, .... THEN WHY HAS OBAMA SPENT $1M TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM SEEING IT??
You betcha!
Another one?
