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.

If Boehner would have said anything, that would become a huge distraction. That wasn’t the time nor the place to make this an issue.

Wrong. Just wrong. This whole question came on the heals of Teresa Cao’s arrest for yelling.

“Except Obama! Help me Jesus!”.

(Yelled at the time the reading of the qualifications for president mentioned Natural Born Citizen.)

Now is a perfect time for conservatives to press the illegitimacy of the Kenyan. Repeal Obama care. Start the ball rolling on Congressional hearings to investigate Certifigate. Special prosecutors to investigate the many criminal actions of the Kenyan.

Lots to be done. Today is the best day to do it.

. . and the media is complicit in it; they refused to vet him because they didn’t want to appear racist. You’re right, most of his past is a closed book. Pelosi didn’t bother all that much when it was her job to bother. If all he’s hiding is the facts about his socialist/communist/leftist connections, it’s enough that he shouldn’t have become President. Now, he’s set for life, and we’ll pay through the nose for the next two years. Obama’s personally collecting a lot of reparations on behalf of all we “owe” to the blacks for slavery. It’s pretty funny since he’s only half black with a lot of baggage. . but, he was elected . . so there you have it. That’ll learn us white people, dern us!

What you see is what you get. Anybody that thinks Boehner is going to rock the boat is going to be greatly disappointed. He is the GOP elite as is Mitch McConnell.

I suspect that Boehner may be employing a tactic that I was taught by a fellow coward when visiting the dentist. His advice was, back when all dentist were of the male species, was to grab the dentist by the scrotum and make a deal that “We’re not going to hurt one another now are we”?...Such is Boehners tactic...there is only two years left in zero’s admin. and the Congress can pull on his nut sack until he is a real zero...it would take longer to get rid of the sack of excretment through the courts via the BC challenges.. Just this ole boys thoughts.......

” Speaker of the House, John Boehner makes it clear he has no questions about President Obama’s birth”

Milquetoast?

In his speech and demeanor, he comes across as very unopposing and human. Something about him suggests just the opposite however. I think he is a wolf in sheeps clothing and I think this wolf is too good at his game to get caught in any reporter’s trap. As such, I am watching his actions and not listening too closely to his words just yet.

I saw the interview. I think Boehner answered appropriately.

Though I personally have some questions about Obama’s eligibility, nobody has produced conclusive proof of his ineligibility. Until then, he is President, & must be dealt with politically.

Too, I'd like to see Boehner, & America, send this Marxist back to the socialist ghetto (Chicago) he came from; & do it by via the will of the people at the ballot box, in Congress, & in the polls. Obama has been a total failure, & it's gonna take 2 more years to convince the slower folks in our population. Of course, the corrupt among us will never be convinced. They like Obama. He's one of them.

I don’t think the State of Hawaii ever officially said Obama was actually born in Hawaii. The official a while back said she “saw his birth certificate” and that it was “filed in accordance with Hawaii’s laws.” That’s not the same as saying he was Hawaiian born, since Hawaii allows the filing of birth certificates from other places.

The media didn't vet Obama because they didn't want the American public to learn what they already knew which is that Obama is an evil, racist leftist who is bent on destroying America.

Even if he was born in Hawaii, did he give up his citizenship along the way? There are questions that need to be answered in court so a determination can be made.

I personally believe that his past will unravel like the threads on a cheap garment if just a piece of his history comes to light. That’s why he won’t reveal anything.

This is the dems problem...that is who will sack him...especially when zero gives everything the Republicans ask for....since zero cares only about me me me...and Republicans can make him look good...he will be bowing to them...and the liberals will start exploding....they have the goods on Zero...and will force him to resign...

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Screw the birther issue and go for the jugular... corruption while in office... let the investigations begin.

As Boehner said, he will be running a decentralized House of Representatives. If what he said is true, do you think he is going to stop others from introducing legislation on the subject of eligibility? Of course not. He’s going to allow it to come to a vote.

Folks, It could get really exciting out there. I hope it does.

I think he’s hiding, what a thread last week mentioned, that Barack Hussein, Sr. was NOT his father, but that Frank Marshall Davis was his dad.

IMO, Miss Stanley was so busy, she had NO idea who the baby daddy was. Thus a blank on the birth certificate with no name and “might” be cause for embarrassment, or at least it would have been when BO was born.
