Breakthrough on eligibility story

Congratulations to Breitbart.com for reporting a story the site clearly didn’t care to publish. It seems that in 1991, Barack Obama was indeed representing himself to his literary agency as “born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

[James Thomas]

I could not agree more with Mr. Farah. All through this controversy about Obama's birth certificate, almost the entire media on the Right have ignored or mocked the story. They have been successfully bullied by the dominant Left in the media to do so. WND, Drudge, Diana West, and some of the writers on American Thinker have been rare exceptions.

“They have been successfully bullied by the dominant Left in the media to do so”

Nope. They have been bullied by common sense and a lack of desperation to remove a president they hate from office on any pretext whatsoever.

You birthers really, really have to stop pretending everything’s a smoking gun. See the boy who cried wolf.

As it came to pass, the boy who cried “Wolf” was right.

The question is: Was he lying then or now?

[hoosiermama]

“Is he lying now or was he lying then?” could be abridged into a bumper sticker/ meme...”Lying nOw Or then” with the O being made with the Obama logo.

Regardless....am promoting that phrase to be used again and again by the friendly media.

After-birthers - Always trying to make a bloody mess of things.

We have ourselves a crisis-in-avoidance.

I think the powers that be would rather just try to hold an election than to risk the damage this confrontation might do to the process.

The problem is that another election will win another 4 years for the ineligible potentate.

“It depends on what your meaning of ‘born’ is.” - The Bill Clinton defense strategy.

[philman_36]

So tell me, Placenta Man, in your opinion...Was he lying then or now?

Or is this just another "Blame Someone Else/It's Not My Fault" moment?

[InterceptPoint]

Two possibilities:

1. He was born in Kenya because that’s where he said he was born.

2. He was born in Hawaii and spends millions of dollars to avoid having to prove it.

Now which one would Occam choose? How about the MSM, Rush, Steyn ...?

I heard the reps from Brietbart on the radio yesterday. They were maintaining that they aren’t focused on the eligibility issue, but rather Obama’s tendency to embellish.

[EBH]

As it came to pass, the boy who cried “Wolf” was right.

"Like, ping, bump." Indeed. But the moral of the story is about "liars" and "false alarms" of which so far it is the birthers who have done neither.

[Don Corleone]

Obama’s tendency to embellish.

Embelish!! That's like saying that Hitler was really just a frustrated art student.

I hope they have good life insurance policies. Sheriff Joe too.
