Boehner: Facts Show Obama a Christian Citizen
February 14th, 2011 . by TexasFredWASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says Americans have a right to think what they want to think, even when they’re wrong about President Barack Obama’s citizenship and his religion.
Some people believe that Obama, a native of Hawaii, was actually born outside the U.S. or in some other way is not a natural-born citizen eligible to be president. There is also a persistent belief among some that Obama, a Christian, is actually a Muslim.
When the host of NBC television’s “Meet the Press” asked Boehner whether he, as speaker of the House, had a responsibility to “stand up to that kind of ignorance,” Boehner told newsman David Gregory: “It’s not my job to tell the American people what to think. Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people.”
Boehner continued: “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.” He later called those “the facts” of Obama’s background.

Boehner: Facts Show Obama a Christian Citizen
Is John Boehner in possession of some facts that we, the average people don’t have? Facts? Seriously? The FACTS show Obama is a Christian?
Boehner is entitled to believe whatever he wants to believe, but to say that FACTS back up the claims that Obama is a Christian make me wonder? Is Boehner trying to *make nice*? Is he in his RIGHT mind? Is he the most naive person to ever sit in the House Speakers Chair? There are some serious questions that need to be answered by Speaker Boehner.
TexasFred thinks I’m a RINO…
From Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
That line has me convinced Speaker Boehner. Nothing says Christian like the President of the United States making public statements to the fact that he’ll stand with the Muslims if the ship hits the sand. Yes, that IS sarcasm…
As to Speaker Boehner’s acceptance of Obama’s claim to having been born in Hawaii; Mr. Speaker, WHY hasn’t the President been required to show his real, certified birth certificate? Why has he been allowed to proffer several different pieces of paper off on the American people, all supposedly his REAL birth certificate, and WHY are we expected to believe that ANY of it is real?
I am a natural born American citizen. My parents were natural born Americans, I was born in the United States of America and I have ONE COPY of my certified live birth certificate to prove that FACT. Just one copy, not several other copies of some type of documents that are supposed to substantiate my American birth. Just one very simple, easy to read and understand birth certificate from the state of Louisiana.
A few weeks ago the blog world was on fire with stories about Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie supposedly telling celebrity journalist Mike Evans that he, Abercrombie, was unable to locate a copy of Obama’s birth certificate.
Shortly thereafter, Evans withdrew his story saying that he had misspoke.
“Only this I can you tell you is 100 percent fact: that Neil never told me there was no birth certificate,” Evans told Fox News. “I never talked to him.” SOURCE
So, it would appear that Mike Evans is nothing more than a LIAR.
Or, and this is pure speculation on my part, did Evans tell the truth and was then subjected to a bit of pressure from the Obama regime to retract his story or be dealt with?
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
Anyone born inside the United States
Granted, I am not a Constitutional scholar. I don’t claim to be the most politically savvy blogger on the net either, but it seems to me that IF Barack Hussein Obama was truly born in the State of Hawaii, this entire quandary could be put to rest if he were to produce ONE birth certificate that could withstand the scrutiny of correctness and accuracy.
Boehner continued: “Having said that, the state of Hawaii has said that he was born there. That’s good enough for me.”
The state may have said it, but they have further complicated the matter by producing more than ONE so-called certified birth certificate into evidence. Just sayin’.
And WHY has Obama spent so much money to keep his birth and education records sealed?
Speaker Boehner is, in MY opinion, nothing more than a continuation of what we have long seen from the GOP and RNC, a RINO of the 1st Order, a Keeper of the Flame. Boehner is keeping the RINO brand alive, and again, in MY opinion, he (Boehner) is not worth a bucket of crap!
Gregory asked, “But that kind of ignorance, about whether he’s a Muslim, doesn’t concern you?”
What’s up with David Gregory? Is he looking for a shot to replace Keith Olbermann as The Biggest ASS on NBC?
My oldest son is an OTR Trucker. To gain access to US Ports, he had to present proof of citizenship. He was born in England. He was required to present the Birth Certificate given him by the US Embassy in London and signed by the US Counselor General for an American Citizen born abroad. He was also required to present his British Birth Certificate.
According to Dr. David Manning, a preacher from Harlem, when Obama attended college in NY, he was here on a student visa from Indonesia.
You know who knows the truth about Obama’s origins? The little people. The file and records clerks in the universities he attended and county buildings in Hawaii. I wonder why nobody has heard from any of them of what is true? It was a blogger who discovered the wrong print type of the false Air National Guard documents condemning GW Bush but it was a clerk/secretary who verified the documents were false. I’m wonder if the clerks who know about Obama are still around?
There was a time I figured it really didn’t matter. Obama is a liberal but surely he’s lived here long enough that he loved this country and wouldn’t do it harm…. Well that lasted about 10 minutes.
Now the birth certificate issue is a fairly big deal to me because it set a benchmark for the next one. Obama serves out his term without producing evidence of his birth, Some moron in Berkley gets a GITMO Detainee to run for office, the LSM backs him and hides his records and his background, the liberals turn out the dead vote again and we end up with Osama Bin Laden running our nation… Kind of like it happened already aint it?
Boehner? Well I’m a little bit less likely to jump on him for this one. I’d have loved to see him call Obama a stealth Muzzie of Kenyan birth, but that would have really served nobody well right now. We got a big fight brewing this year and the next. We don’t need the MSM to have additional sound bites that wont solve anything.
Rob — Pretty much agree on ALL of that, except, and you knew there would be an *except*, we don’t need a gutless, pandering, crybaby SOB that strokes egos to ‘get along’…
Stones man, you have em, I have em, why the hell can’t our leaders find theirs??
If Boehner had said, “I want to believe Obama, BUT, until we see the proof, he’s a muzzie asshole”, Boehner would be THE MAN…
We don’t have the MSM following us around trying to make us look bad… Oh and we aint running for office… I think if either of us ran for office we’d be in a lot of hot water
but I get your point. Sure would be a breath of fresh air someone with nuts in office? Seems like lately the only ones with balls are females.Sigh
Where there’s smoke there’s fire? The ‘White House Insider’ (assuming there actually is such a creature) said this:
Simply urge you to lay off the birther angle at this time. Strongly urge. To proceed is at your own peril. Please take warning seriously. This is not a small town cop shop situation here. Let someone else try and make name on this one.
Don’t blame you as it was me who brought up subject last time. Since then heard repeated rumors/confirmations of attempted “purge” coming down the pike. WH/media going on the offensive bigtime on issue. Has already started as you probably know. Talking very specific, very confrontational, very scary stuff here. Don’t wish to drag you into that. Much bigger fish are circling this. They can survive what could be coming. Not sure about me. Let the big players handle this now. This thing will either break out big or disappear. Apologize for past doubt/ridicule. There is something there. 100% certain of it. God help us.

Pandering Rino – him and Kennedy, no child left behind………….the current inaction despite an Republican house? Not cutting anything in health care spending? Business as usual in DC
Politicians/Lawyers… when God forgets to insert a spine, he very often forgets to attach the balls too! The only explaination I’ve been able to come up with.
this whole issue is pure crap - all he has to do is release the birth certificate……..if there is no problem, whats the harm? common sense tells us this man is HIDING a lot, including college transcripts, Social Security numbers, and etc…….Why aren’t we forcing him to give this out? ….is it because the Supremes (SCOTUS) fear rioting in the streets if he was disposed (as dictator in chief) or impeached - rioting by minorities and leftists?
A special thank you to Mr. Alan Caruba for this cartoon!
LOL!!!! He looks so… natual. Like a Natural Born POS Muzzie!
Obama is a little bit muslim and a little bit Marxist. Nightmare of a blend, who takes orders from Soros. Nothing a little revolution couldn’t fix.
Minuteman…………the government is broke, it can’t be fixed………..now what? a little G*……….Egypt did it all on facebook!
Boehner is an idiot.
anyone who has studied Islam knows that this is IMPOSSIBLE. seriously.
boehner/boner is a dumb f*ck.
Dinosaur, Your first post is what I’ve been saying all along (even BEFORE the black messiah was elected!!!)
If/when the truth comes out-the riots will leave what’s left of our country as THIRD WORLD!!!
Native, think we are only seeing the tipo of the iceburg - they are not saying how bad the financial crisis is, food prices on the rise, jobless rate being doctored, …..then we have our heads in the sand about the Islamic problem, with over 700k of those folks (in a peaceful religion) living in NYC alone, and Christians already flocking to convert to Islam…..85 % of the convert are inner city residents……well, Houston - we gots a problem!
Dino, I think (part) of the plan IS to make us a third world country regardless…(RIOTS) would only SLIGHTLY speed up the process if the black messiah is allowed to continue with SOROS’ plan…
Just my humble (yet correct) opinion…
Stay safe and stay armed…
Canadian Free Press…January 2007, before Obama was even a serious candidate.
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/cover012207.htm
“This is the question Sen. Hillary Clinton’s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.” ( http://www.insightmag.com, 1/17/2007).
“An investigation of Mr. Obama by political opponents within the Democratic Party has discovered that Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia. Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia.”
“What if Obama is engaged in pious fraud? This is a Muslim practice of pretending not to be Muslim to further the cause of Islam or to “defend the faith”.
TF: you couldn’t run for office, Robert couldn’t run for office, I couldn’t run for office. No office at all. We are too eminently “trackable” as to our beliefs and opinions. We are what we are.
Those who run, these days, are as concrete and immured in stone as to try to nail Jello to a wall.
As in: that ain’t happening.
You, me, Robert, we all have our opinions and can continue to have our opinions precisely BECAUSE we are NOT running for office and because we are not advocating for or against any particular agency and — mostly — because none of us are sufficiently influential to capture the interest of monied powers.
Just let that change and. . .
BZ
BZ — If it were to ever come about, what you see right now is what you’d see if I had money, mine or that of others backing me… And that my friend, is why I would be a terrible candidate, I can’t be bought, nothing monetary influences me, and the folks that finance politicians expect the old *go along to get along*, you know what I mean…
I am a lot of things, White, possibly racist, a redneck, a Texas guy that loves NASCAR and beer and my bog dwelling cohorts, but I, and I believe that you and Rob fall into the same mold, guys like us, we are NOT for sale!
and then I see your C.I.C wants to hire a little over 5000 IRS agents……….omG* what for? Well I know what for, but when and how do we stop this - 2012, there will be nothing left.
So the dumb SOB can claim that HE created JOBS…
and/or so he can still ram health care down our necks AND harass more people thru the IRS……….
Obama is in a world of shit now as many States have already voted, “That any candidate for president has to show his true birth Cert to be on the voters ballot.Google up the states,,,there is a lot of them.
This same requirement is now in the Texas Legislature, and will be brought up for a vote soon.
This will STOP Obummer in his tracks to be president, because he cannot prove he is a natural born citizen.
This closet POS muzzie, will not be on the ballots.
There are now many Harvard, Princeton, Occidental University “classmates” of Obummer that have never seen him on any campus, including the esteemed Harvard Law Review, that Obummer’s phoney bio touts.
NONE of his so-called classmates hav ever seen him anywhere on campus’s.
So what does this mean????? Maybe the muzzie is just a paperwork plant, put there by Soros and other democrat socialists.
