At today's CPAC conference, Idaho's Raul Labrador decided to lighten the mood with a joke or two. They say knowing one's audience is the mark of a good comedian so, judging from the applause he garnered for his "birther" joke, we think Labrador might have a bright future in improv. Originally from Puerto Rico, Labrador joked that, yes, he is an American citizen by birth and he even has the birth ......posted using frpa

It’s a political problem - and should not be mentioned in public. After all, just because the President does not want his actual birth certificate available to the public is no reason to question his birthplace.

Of course it just may be because of this reluctance that continues to cause unjustified questioning of his birth that causes almost all of the major media to continue to publish not only questions but editorials wondering just what the heck is going on.

Not a problem, FOX news at least continues to ignore these problems but eventually the truth will come out...

That is funny,...but seriously, I don’t care about Obama’s birth certificate. I would be more interested to see his scholarship applications.

His purported father is a British subject so the bc is really not all that bug a deal. Natural born needs 2 citizen parents.

Well let him . Common sense would tell u if u have a parent that’s not a citizen their loyalty will not be the same as one born here and that will influence the child. 0 has no loyalty to the US. They are defying court orders this very minute. We had better start making some noise with our congressmen!

I assume that it would need to be a short application for America’s B student.

Anything with a country of origin or “who’s your Daddy” ought to cover it.

Maybe something listing “clubs participated in” would do?

I agree—but can’t help wondering how Labrador would respond to questions that mere mention of his name reminds one of that line in an old Cheech and Chong Movie When asked what kind of pot he had the reply was “I don’t know -I think it’s Labrador.

I’m curious about...

Family info...
Grades sufficient to get him in...
Funding for his education...

This guy didn’t have money. Where did it come from? I don’t think he had grades. How did he qualify? What name did he use to attend?

My dog ate my stash, and I followed him around with a baggy for a week.

All good questions. I would also like to know who were his circle of friends and associates. We know much less about him than anyone else in public life.
