Default John Boehner Believes Obama Is A US Citizen, A Christian
This is actually a news story but it took some digging to get a headline that got to the heart of the matter. All accounts of course are slanted. Why it's good to get up early (or stay up late) and actually watch Meet the Press instead of wait for some lopsided cyoa version.

Quote:
He told David Gregory during an appearance on Meet The Press this morning: "It’s not my job to tell the American people what to think. Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people. Having said that, the state of Hawaii has said that he was born there. That’s good enough for me. The president says he’s a Christian. I accept him at his word."

Seemingly indirectly referring to the wingnut birthers/FOX News viewers, Boehner also said that "the American people have the right to think what they want to think. I can’t — it’s not my job to tell them."

It's good to know that you go to such lengths to find unbiased news sources.

Nope if you read it again I said all of them were slanted. I said I searched for a headline that actually reported a hint of the content not someone's take on it before you read the story. Sorry if you didn't get that the first time.

Took me five seconds to find a headline from yesterday that stated the obvious.

This morning when I looked at the list of news headlines, this is what I saw:

Boehner Says ‘Not My Job’ to Convince People Obama Is American


After reading a short piece I searched for something that actually stated more than a juicy side line.
Sorry if you are so suspicious of my intentions. But hey I have never called you a liar. Maybe I'm the dumb one.

Point is, even Boehner says Obama is a citizen and takes him at his word as being a Christian.
So at least that argument is moot.
