House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that while he believes President Obama is an American citizen and a Christian, Americans have a right to think otherwise if they so choose.

"It's not my job to tell the American people what to think," Boehner said on NBC's "Meet The Press" when asked about a recent focus group of Iowa voters shown on Fox News during which several said they believe Obama is Muslim.

"The state of Hawaii has said he was born there. That's good enough for me," Boehner said. "The president says he's a Christian. I accept him at his word."

Boehner rejected the suggestion that he and other Republicans were not forcefully denouncing myths about the president's citizenship and religion because it weakens Obama politically.

"I've made clear what I think the facts are," Boehner said.

4. I remember that.. and it still makes my hair stand on end

They are beyond sad and delusional.. They have a mental illness when it comes to the President. A hatred spawned by what I don't know.. and the hatred of Clinton was palatable.

They actually got something on Clinton to grind on ..but have not been able to do that with this President and that makes them angrier yet.. so mad that they will destroy the American goverment. They will destroy this great experiment in democracy.
