| A slight pause in your all-budget all the time Calitics. User mbayrob posted this in the open thread, but IMHO, it is worthy of its own thread. So, here it is, John Campbell hemming and hawing when asked about the "birther" claims that Barack Obama wasn't really born in the United States. This is despite the fact that Obama has released his birth certificate which has been duly certified by the State of Hawaii.
Yet Rep. John Campbell is once again using these weasel words to give foundation to, as Chris Matthews called them, the crazies in the Republican Party. You might notice that Campbell was not co-sponsoring such a bill when the president at issue was George W Bush, but alas, we need certainty! Like, um, a birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, Irvine Mayor Beth Krom, a Democrat, is running for the 48th Congressional District in 2010. |
