RNC Chairman dismisses birther talk
Source: CNN.com

Washington (CNN) - Donald Trump has spent weeks raising questions about President Barack Obama's birth certificate, but Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Tuesday that so-called "birther" claims are a distraction from more pressing issues facing the nation.

"Trump and the candidates can talk about it all they want, but my position is that the president was born in the United States," Priebus told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Well, this is okay, but he still hasn't explained what the Hell kind of name Reince Priebus is! (I still think it's a product one uses after washing the car.)

3. Oh they own it, alright.
Up until recently the GOP danced around it, refusing to step on the toes of the birfers. They just recently figured out it is making them look like loons. So now a couple of candidates and high profile GOPers are stating what should have been stated when this BS started - Obama was born in Hawaii.

Too little too late IMHO. It's going to be really tough to undo 2 years of placating the nutters.
