Rudy Giuliani: Time to bury the birthers
Politico ^ | 03/18/11 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

MANCHESTER, N.H. — A day after Donald Trump raised questions about President Barack Obama’s citizenship, Rudy Giuliani on Friday swatted down the "birthers" as a waste of time, saying it's "clear" the president was born in America.

The former New York City mayor — making his first trip to New Hampshire of the 2012 presidential cycle as he weighs another run for the White House — made the comments to POLITICO just before he spoke at the Manchester GOP Lincoln Day dinner here.

"He's born in the United States, I don't see any real question about that," Giuliani said. "And even if some people have some doubts in the back of their minds it's really too late and futile. ... We have so many more important things to talk about."

Because The Donald would have just two words ‘Prove It’ The silece from the MSM is deafening. I wonder if Trump is really gonna force the issue.

Better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought a loser than to open it and remove all doubt.

Best bet if you don’t want to face reality, is just to say “I don’t think it’s an issue” and leave it at that

Or, considering that he is a lawyer, "I haven't seen any evidence to convince me one way or the other."

I think that’s the most important point. It’s simply a loser of an issue, and serves no purpose but as a distraction. He’s never going to show a BC, most simply because he doesn’t have to.

Even if he presented a BC now, the birthers wouldn’t believe it anyway, and it’s doing him a lot more good to let them spin off into the fringe and get ever more strident and lunatic. Having the birthers out there is *good* for Obama and there’s nothing he’d want to do to stop them.

I am so angry at the way all of the main Republican Contenders are too frightened to give this issue the attention it should have. This includes Palin and West, my two favorites.

Just imagine if it was Palin hiding her background. You reckon all the Democrats would be saying it was no issue??

Stop allowing Obama's mainstream media soldiers to set the agenda.

Fact-Obama Has Never Demonstrated His Constitutional Eligibility.

Until this wad in the WH produces his REAL birth certificate and all his other hidden background, he will NOT convince anyone that he’s an American, either by birth or his actions!

Obama tells big Democratic donors to hang onto ‘lightning in a bottle’ from his first campaign. http://www.washingtonpost.com/obama_tells_big_democratic_donors_to_hang_onto_lightning_in_a_bottle_from_his_first_campaign/2011/03/16/ABHo2ug_story.html?wprss=rss_congress
“The first time around it’s like lightning in a bottle. There’s something special about it, because you’re defying the odds. And as time passes, you start taking it for granted that a guy named Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States,” Obama said. “But we should never take it for granted.”

“I hope that all of you still feel that sense of excitement and that sense of possibility, because we still have so much more to do.”

That's true, and it also doesn't matter. He doesn't *have* to do anything, so logically he won't. So far it hasn't hurt him in the slightest.

OK Rudy, let’s say he was born in America. What I want to know is did he renounce his US citizenship? Is he a duel citizen? Because if he is he’s not eligible to run for president. Also why does he use multiple Social Security numbers?

Rudy must have info the rest of America doesn't. He should share.
