President Barack Obama pauses as he listens to a question during a news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington
A new poll is shocking the political powers in Washington with indication that only 3 in 10 members of the GOP believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States.
With the issue still disputed in a number of court cases and under review by nearly a dozen states considering laws that presidential candidates document their constitutional eligibility, the poll by Public Policy Polling found that only 28 percent of the Republicans surveyed believe Obama was born in the U.S. while 51 percent do not.
Another 21 percent say they are not sure.

“The newest poll from Public Policy Polling revealed 51 percent of 400 Republican primary voters disbelieve Obama’s claims to be eligible constitutionally to hold the office of president and another 21 percent said they were not sure.”
A successful GOP Primary winner will be the one with the guts to demand Obama explain why his Indonesian school record states he’s an Indonesian National. How can an Indonesian National be eligible to be POTUS?
Of course, RINOs and Dems will immediately denounce anyone asking this question as a racist.
So a minor candidate needs to fall on his or her sword and ask for proof.

Apparently he has to be a little less minor than Alan Keyes, who has valiantly fought this fight.
I'd bet that he could raise millions of dollars, personally, to just ask this one, simple, question, on national TV news.
"Mr. President, show me your birth certificate. If you can't, "YOU LIE!"
So now they think Obama is foreign born? Why the heck did they ever vote for this guy with three foreign sounding names? Three Muslim names?
I guy named Barak Obama is running...way too foreign sounding for me to vote for without really checking him out. Why did Illinois people vote for this guy with three foreign names?
Libs don’t care if he is from Africa or mars.
"...Martin unabashedly admits that he has a political agenda and likens the idea of a President Obama to electing a German or Japanese sympathizer during World War II. "Imagine if you will that in 1945 a war-weary America had elected Harry S. Yamamoto as president," he writes on his blog. "What would be the reaction in Japan?" When asked about this, Martin explains, "We are at war with fanatical Muslims. So what do you do, do you elect a guy with a Muslim name? That's ridiculous."
Only a weak minded person would listen to a talking head tell them they are lunatic fringe and change their mind to save embarrassment. I don't care what anybody thinks, I want the discussion. Any thinking person would notice Chris Matthews didn't have anybody challenge him on the air. These people need a challenge and they never get one. In poker, you never let anyone see your hole cards. It should be a surprise when they get them turned over. The people getting asked if THEY believe he is legal have never seen the BC and really can't say with certainty that he is legal, yet they get "played" by the host as crazy if you don't swear that he is legal. All they have to say is, "This would all get cleared up if he would produce a BC." None of them seem to even want to give a hint that they aren't willing to buy a pig in a polk.
Just show the BC and it's over, one way or the other.
Hi FRiend. Long time no see. Your blog got much wider distribution via Corsi but Corsi’s book was unable to stop the Kenyan. Why do people call him the Kenyan? Because we know he is guided by foreign thinking and foreign sensibilities from living in Indonesia and having two Muslim fathers. Plus having a very multiKulti oriented mother who lived out her life in Indonesia.
It is much better to have a president with a real American upbringing even though more than enough of those are loony liberals
“It is much better to have a president with a real American upbringing even though more than enough of those are loony liberals”
Sorry, but your problem is much, much larger than that. The “real” American upbringing you mention no longer exists.
My proof? Over 50 Percent of Americans no longer are self-sufficient, they depend on some, or multiple forms of subsidies. No politician will cut these subsidies (check out the Republican cuts to section 8 and public housing rolls, opps there ain’t any). Welfare will grow, food stamps will grow. Slackers are now the predominent American.
The minority that actually work will support the supra majority that don’t.
Even the “greatest generation” got hooked on social security with far more benefits than they paid for.
You don’t even want to begin to go to the lower income classes (minorities,drug culture, single mother, opps grandmother families, opps welfare clients, with fathers in prison) that make up ALL central cities and increasingly suburbs. Now lets try the unions who could care less how much they bleed Lady Liberty....her corpse is their victory.
American is rapidly becoming a s... box and the “ethic” has long since disappeared from the majority.
Obama is just what they wanted. No Rebublican, opps I mean socialist can take that away from him.
The Big Boo
Psssst He's a DemocRAT......from Chicago
Conspiracy theorists are NEVER finished. They will go on and on and on and on. There would always be another point begging a never-ending chain of questions.
This fervent activity provides a raison d'être for them, the justification that their honest toil and dedication gives their lives meaning. This can't suddenly be removed or stopped. What would they do? They can't go back to being "nothing" again, a life without importance and purpose. For some of them, it's all they seem to know. They have achieved notoriety and fame within a small cadre of believers, believers who provide the reinforcement necessary to stroke their egos and fill the void.
And it's not just the "birthers", for there is an equal but opposite group on the "anti-birther" side. These fanatics are just as involved, just as dedicated, just as rabid. They will fight Obama's impeachment, they will fight his conviction, trial and imprisonment, they will fight the spread of legal proceedings to Obama's staff and friends.
So, no. I disagree. It will go on for years, providing employment, work, book deals, movies, seminars and conventions for those who have been consumed and cannot stop.
For those of us standing in amusement on the fence, there is one inescapable fact. The ball is clearly in Obama's court. His promise of transparency is in tatters. Nothing short of full disclosure in all related matters will do.
I look forward to reality exceeding anticipation.
Too many American Idol shows, too much reality TV and too much anonymous bundled $25 donations totaling hundreds of millions of dollars bought us BHO.
We are told the Rev. Wright, Lewis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, and the well-known “Chicago Democratic Machine,” etc., etc., were all big Obama supporters. No one ever heard of him until he made that speech at the Democratic convention. Find out who put him on that program since he was an absolute unknown and you will get a good lead to the power and the money which elected him. Don't forget, he was a community organizer. Conservatives make a big mistake not to get into that business for themselves, and to use technology, as they do, to organize the conservative and moderate masses out here. Any group not getting on that bandwagon is doomed to failure.
What insults my intelligence almost as much as anything about this whole charade is the claim that a newspaper announcement of a birth is proof someone was born there. The birth of almost every child in our family was announced in a newspaper far from where we lived at the time. It is proof of nothing except that a child has been born somewhere.
Hey, they already call us rascist so who cares what the screech.More and more people feel that way.Not looking good for the poser.
