Just in case there are birthers in Class
The birther theory goes back to at least 2007. Does anyone seriously believe, that with these rumors circulating, and the amount of money both Hillary Clinton and John McCain had for opposition research that they would not have definitively proved Barrack Obama was ineligible?
This link shows transcripts from Hardball, where a Clinton campaign advisor gives a backhanded compliment about his Indonesian Heritage. Obviously, they sent opposition research to Indonesia to investigate his time there. They were able to prove that he attended school there. But that is not the claim the birthers make.
There is also a video from Hardball, where he interviews Rep. Campbell from California, who is co-sponsoring a bill to require all Presidential candidates to produce their birth certificate before they can assume office. Chris Mathews shows the congressman a copy of Obama's Certificate of Live Birth.
