Wow !!!! Why are some of the Republicans in office now calling birthers loons LOL?

It's nothing new, you just haven't been paying attention. O'Reilly, Beck, Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, and many others have been on record as disavowing "birthers" for some time now. Personally, I thought it was a legitimate question to ask. I always believed that he was born in Hawaii, due to the newspaper announcement. But something didn't smell right when he spent so much time and energy refusing to release the long form. And there's nothing wrong in asking the questions.
