Boehner On Birthers: ‘It’s Not My Job To Tell The American People What To Think’

February 13th, 2011 (6) Posted By Grizz.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that while he believes President Obama is an American citizen and a Christian, Americans have a right to think otherwise if they so choose.

“It’s not my job to tell the American people what to think,” Boehner said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” when asked about a recent focus group of Iowa voters shown on Fox News during which several said they believe Obama is Muslim.

“The state of Hawaii has said he was born there. That’s good enough for me,” Boehner said. “The president says he’s a Christian. I accept him at his word.”

Boehner rejected the suggestion that he and other Republicans were not forcefully denouncing myths about the president’s citizenship and religion because it weakens Obama politically.

“I’ve made clear what I think the facts are,” Boehner said.

It was during the 2008 election that opponents began to circulate questions over President Obama’s citizenship and religion. Obama was born in Hawaii and is Christian.

During this past week’s Conservative Political Action Conference, freshman Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) joked that he is indeed an American citizen and that he has the birth certificate to prove it.

Asked about the comment Sunday, Boehner said, “The gentleman was trying to be funny, I would imagine.”

Barack Hussein Obama is a criminal fraud and usurper. The fact that Boner is a coward and willingly complicit in Obama’s big lie does not change the fact. We are a Pretender Nation.

Can anyone in Congress just come out and say it?…SHOW ME THE BC!..Answer: NOPE. They are ALL in this cover up one way or another. The elephant is still in the room folks…and he’s not leaving!

Those that keep looking the other way should be voted OUT.PERIOD. This HAS to be delt with somehow. It is the single most important issue in US history to date.
We’re all racists now anyway, what else they gonna say – that we’re mean.. God help us!

Boehner should be president right now. Bambam may have been born in Hawaii. Bambam could have been born in Washington D.C. on the Fourth of July, singing “God Bless America” IT DOES NOT MATTER!!! In his own words, his father was a British subject. He is not eligible to be POTUS. He is not qualified to be a french-fry cook at McD, but I digress. The Obama/Biden ticket was fraudulent, both must be removed (and prosecuted) and every official act either has taken, while illegally occupying their offices, must be considerded “null and void”, if this country will suvive. Boehner is next in line. If he’d stop crying, man up and speak out for the U.S.Constitution, like he swore he would, he could stop the communist insurgency in the whitehouse TODAY. Yeah right. Cowards.
