DENVER Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman is apologizing for comments he made at a fundraiser last weekend when he asserted that President Barack Obama is just not an American.
But the damage has been done.
Coffman, thought to be a safe bet to hold onto his seat this November, has given his underdog opponent, state Rep. Joe Miklosi, an opening by questioning President Barack Obamas American-ness during a campaign speech last weekend.
I dont know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I dont know that, Coffman said at the event Saturday in Elbert County. But I do know this, that in his heart, hes not an American. Hes just not an American.
Miklosi, D-Denver, has been on the attack since the comments, posted on YouTube by a Coffman supporter, first surfaced Wednesday night; and hes spending much of Thursday making the rounds doing interviews and even scheduled to appear on national television Thursday night.

He needn’t apologize, Obama himself questioned it.
He should just be armed with the info and quote it to anyone who comnplains:

I am hardly a birther, but I fully agree with this statement:
But I do know this, that in his heart, hes not an American. Hes just not an American.
Coffman need not apologize since we now know Obama is the source of the born in Kenya “rumor” and that another book that came out this week said Obama questioned his identity while in college as to whether he was International or American. Natural-born citizens don’t have such identity problems.
