Eric Cantor Goes on Faux News, Criticizes Obama For Addressing Birth Certificate Controversy
Eric Cantor Criticizes President Obama For Addressing Birth Certificate Controversy

With this morning’s shocking revelation by the White House of the long form birth certificate confirming that President Barack Obama was in fact born in Hawaii (gasp!), Fox News turned first for political reaction to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (gasp!) for his thoughts on this historic day when the entire nation can rejoice and celebrate the legitimacy of our president (hooray!) However, Mr. Cantor chose not to see this day as one to celebrate, rather, he shockingly took the view that President Obama should not be wasting the nation’s time on such a silly non-issue (gasp!)

America’s Newsroom host Bill Hemmer had Cantor on as guest and immediately asked Cantor for his reaction to the news of release of the long form birth certificate, and Cantor did not demure in his critique of the White House saying “I have criticized members of my own party for making this some kind of an issue and so I am really surprised that the White House is doing the same.”

Watch the clip below, courtesy of Fox News:

4. Too bad Cantor and Boner have lost control of their party
Edited on Wed Apr-27-11 09:44 AM by tularetom
For better or worse it's now the Donald Trump Birther Party.

Cantor realizes that he's no longer front page news and he's scrambling to be relevant again (as if he ever was).

5. Hey Cantor ... can you chew gum and walk at the same time?
This was a breeze. It's the Pukes (and I use that term with all "due respect," they DO make me puke) who wasted the country's time on it!

Cantor, please do your country a huge favor ... go somewhere and die.

8. When Kerry attacked the Swiftliars on Aug 19, 2004, RW press made the same charge. They play it both
ways because they can - the fascists didn't buy control of broadcast media in the 80s and 90s because they wanted to perpetuate good journalism, y'know.
