Just because Coburn announces support of a bill that reinforces lunatic right concerns doesn't mean he is on board with them.<br /><br />After all, Coburn also said he believes Obama meets the requirements. That completely cancels out the implications of the bill and his support of it.<br /><br />No birther is going to make such a mistake as to think Coburn is signalling his solidarity with them. They are very clear thinkers.Tulsannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460674773445742325.post-30478600786261481142009-06-20T18:37:32.645-06:002009-06-20T18:37:32.645-06:00I'm so used to being amazed by you, it almost ...I'm so used to being amazed by you, it almost ceases to amuse me. You accuse Dr. Coburn of paranoia about Barack Obama's birth certificate and eligibility to be president and, for evidence, link to a writer--well, actually, you didn't link, God knows you seldom do--who may well not have read the original article in its entirety. That article has Dr. Coburn saying he believes President Obama<a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=101492" rel="nofollow">...meets the constitutional requirement to be president...</a>, which kind of blows the idea that he has "joined the birthers" straight to the nether regions and leaves me, at least, wondering whether your quoted writer bothered to read the whole thing before uttering his sneers.<br /><br />The article has not a single word that indicates that Dr. Coburn doubts President Obama's eligibility. I do not believe that you can produce any such words, either. The whole idea appears to be pure imagination on the part of the writer you quote. All Dr. Coburn has done is signal support for a bill requiring candidates for federal office to submit a certain kind of birth certificate in the future--and taking that step, it should be noted, would preclude the very sort of rumors about eligibility that you are complaining about. We have to produce birth certificates with some regularity in this country; most people encounter the need at least when they apply for marriage licenses and driver's licenses or join the military. As far as I can tell, you are in the position of wanting to require more ID for a driver's license than you do to run for federal office.Man of the Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691063580228409415noreply@blogger.com
