Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) officially does acknowledge that President Obama was born in the United States, Greg Sargent reports.
Blunt’s office charged that blogger Mike Stark had selectively edited a video, in which Blunt called questions about Obama’s birth certificate “legitimate,” in order to make it look like he doubts Obama’s natural-born citizenship. The full video, which Stark then release,d shows Blunt saying, “I don’t have any reason not to believe that,” then going on to dignify the Birthers’ complaints.
Greg asked Blunt’s office yet again what Blunt himself thinks — does he accept that Obama was born in the United States and is legitimately president? “Of course he does and this is clear in the unedited interview,” Blunt’s spokesperson said.
To which Greg says: “This isn’t really clear from the interview, but it’s certainly clear now, even if it took a bit of effort…”
