GOP Ex-Gov: Obama's 'Inciting' Birthers By Planning Trip To Kenya
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) said on Monday during an appearance on Fox News that President Obama is "inciting" birther conspiracy theorists by planning a trip to Kenya this summer.
“I think his trip back to Kenya is going to create a lot of chatter and commentary amongst some of the hard right, who still don’t see him as having been born in the U.S.," Sununu said on the show "America's Newsroom."
"I personally think he’s just inciting some chatter on an issue that should have been a dead issue a long time ago,” he said.
Obama announced Monday morning that he plans to travel to Kenya in July to attend the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit. Conspiracy theorists have long claimed Obama, who was born in Hawaii, was secretly born in Kenya and therefore is not legally qualified to be President.

Sununu throwing a tantrum cuz Obama's clowning them. Oh, but there's policy shit to do, too, but if you can get that done while clowning the right even more, I'm all for it. Sununu knows we're going to reach new levels of stupid from his people. And meanwhile, the GOP legislative majority remains rudderless and ineffectual.
Obama's like...
Why isn't he in jail? Did he get out early?
From wiki:
As White House Chief of Staff, Sununu reportedly took personal trips, for skiing and other purposes, and classified them as official, for purposes such as conservation or promoting the Thousand Points of Light. The Washington Post wrote that Sununu's jets "took him to fat-cat Republican fund-raisers, ski lodges, golf resorts and even his dentist in Boston." Sununu had paid the government only $892 for his more than $615,000 worth of military jet travel. Sununu said that his use of the jets was necessary because he had to be near a telephone at all times for reasons of national security. Sununu became the subject of much late-night television humor over the incident. Sununu worsened the situation shortly afterwards when, after leaking rumors of financial difficulties in his family, he traveled to a rare stamp auction at Christie's auction house in New York City from Washington in a government limousine, spending $5,000 on rare stamps. Sununu then sent the car and driver back to Washington unoccupied while he returned on a corporate jet. In the course of one week, 45 newspapers ran editorials on Sununu, nearly all of them critical of his actions. Sununu resigned his White House post on December 4, 1991.
Sununu repaid over $47,000 to the government for the flights on the orders of White House counsel C. Boyden Gray, with the help of the Republican Party. However, the reimbursements were at commercial rates, which are about one-tenth the cost of the actual flights; one ski trip to Vail, Colorado alone had cost taxpayers $86,330.
......ugly, intolerant, one-trick ponies. Who would'a thought? "Some on the hard right"? He means the mainstream Repuke party. Let's ask that ass-hat Hannity for his opinion........ 
wearing a felt hat. Shrunk up on him pretty drastically, apparently:.
