Fox News questions authenticity of birth certificate in breaking news section on website.

Fox News: White House Releases ‘What It Says’ Is The President’s Birth Certificate

Earlier this morning, the White House distributed copies of President Obama’s “long form” birth certificate, an effort to quiet anyone in the delusional birther movement who claims that the President was not born in the United States. Indeed, Fox News is already doing its part to feed the birthers’ collective delusion. Immediately after the news broke that Obama’s long form birth certificate is available, Fox ran a banner headline claiming that the White House had only released “what it says” is the President’s birth certificate:

They don't even try to hide it anymore. Although, I wonder if it isn't some Obama supporter writing this stuff to make them look even more ridiculous.

1. But of course.
Why Obama thought this would change anything, I have no idea.

3. True Birthers are as crazy as people who are sure the levees in New Orleans were dynamited...
...after Hurricane Katrina, and people who are sure that 9/11 was an inside job. There's no convincing them, no matter what evidence you present.

The good news is they're a very small minority. Most people, even people who questioned the President's origin, are much more reasonable.
