Blunt: "I'm Going To Stop Talking About" Obama's Birth Certificate -- But I Can Produce My Own
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the likely 2010 GOP nominee for Senate in this perennial swing state, says he doesn't want to talk anymore about whether President Obama was born in the United States, the Springfield News-Leader reports. But Blunt still doesn't seem to be giving up on it as a legitimate issue, either.
Blunt said last week that "I don't have any reason not to believe" that Obama is a natural-born citizen -- but at the same time he said the Birthers had a "legitimate question" about Obama's birth certificate. Well, the local media in Missouri is now asking him about it, and here's what he said:
"What I actually think is that you guys don't have any capacity to talk about that in a legitimate way, so I'm going to stop talking about it," Blunt told a reporter.
If requested, Blunt said, he would produce his original birth certificate to prove he was born Jan. 10, 1950, in Niangua.
By the way, Niangua is a small town in southern Missouri -- not a coastal city in Kenya.

So let's see it, asshole. And after you do, maybe you can explain how you managed to sneak the "original" you say you have out of your state's office of vital statistics.

We know you were born in the USA, Roy, because no one this stupid could have possibly survived to adulthood in any other country, nor made it to the top echelons of power.

Roy, you keep using that word, "legitimate". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Are you sure that you really have your birth certificate and not just a forged copy? I need more proof than that of your birthplace.

In a Blunt sort of way this sandbagging teabagging birther said please quit making me explain myself. He apparently can't sling crap & sit on a fence at the same time. An obvious lightweight whom is unworthy of his own rhetoric.
He's a birther now & until he gets out of politics or retracts every word & apologizes. No Bud lights or summits for Rep. Roy.
Alledgedly from Missouri Rep. Roy that is.

Question: Does anybody assert he's not a citizen at all? If he was naturalized, the birthers should be able to produce documentation that shows it, right?

I've been to Missouri. I'm not totally convinced it is part of the US.

I'm from Missouri, and I can assure you that Saint Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia are progressive and nice bubbles of society.
It is a VERY mixed North/South Culture.
