Doesn't seem to be much of a story at all, really it seems to be about how Obama called out an opponent on violating party rules. I mean, that's just playing by the rules, what could be contreversial about that? This Palmer character knew the rules going into the game, she should have been more scrupulous about following them, if you give an opponent an opportunity like that in politics you're going to suffer the consequences.

I hope Obama still feels this way. I wish he would just provide proof of his natural-born citizenship status and get it over with.

That arguement is pretty much baseless you know. Do you honestly believe that he could have hidden being a non-US citizen throughout the entire election without Hilary Clinton or the GOP digging it up? It would have knocked him out of the race and given Hilary (during the primaries) or McCain a clear shot for presidency.

Plus, if it had any substance it would be plastered all over the news.

What? Do you honestly think that a story like that would be hidden? Think of what a juicy scandal that would be: The first African American set to be president and someone who a lot of Americans were looking to for hope and help in the future. Then there's the chance he cheated and somehow hid his history! And he very well might be declared ineligible!

Fox News alone would probably love to report that. Even speculation...

Like Fox News needs any hard evidence to report unfounded accusations. That's the point. If you think it actually needs any substance to air on a 24-hour news network, you don't know 24-hour news networks.

But that's the point! They don't even wait for hard evidence. And yet even the birth controversy isn't being reported on, which shows just how idiotic it is. I don't even think the Weekly World News has anything on it and they wrote an article saying that Sarah Palin shot a Bigfoot.
