how about a little more fuel for the "controversy":

» AP declared Obama “Kenyan-Born” Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

At some point there has to be a reckoning of what was said about Obama. If it was incorrect when written and when he was quoted then where is the counterpoint rebutting the alleged incorrectness? There must have existed back then the same caliber of loyalists who would be as quick to disclaim what was written as there seems to be these days. If he has a following today that will defend him, did he not have such a following in 2004?

Some where there is either a truth to be known or a lie to be discovered or revelation that resolves the chronic appearance of the issue.

I also think the term birther is an attempt to discredit via unflattering rhetoric. Similar to labeling those who support Obama as deniers.
I am curious why the birth issue is time sensitive. Why was it not as big a deal as a Senator as it is for POTUS? The most damning statement seems to come directly from Obama in the article above where he states "..I am not running for President..."!!!!!!

Like it or not. There is a reconciling needed....and we know today's loyalists don't agree.
