'Birther' congress-critters run from Huffington Post video reporter
Funny video of congress-critters running away from a Huffington Post reporter because they don't want to answer the question, "Is Barack Obama is an American?" If they say yes, they will offend their 'birther' wing-nut base. If they say no, they will be seen as 'birther' wing-nuts. So, they run.
Only one, Trent Franks of Arizona, gives a correct and clear answer, but even he can't help himself from suggesting that Obama is facilitating Jihad and turning America into a socialist state.Folks, this is what it has come to. The most powerful people in the world -- nationally elected legislators responsible for setting policy for the most powerful country on earth -- are lining up with cuckoo-bat-shit-crazy elements of the lunatic fringe.

That's going to be even more the case now -- but if you have feelings you really do need to share, don't stifle them for the sake of being nice.
You don't have to offend anyone.
Just excuse yourself and find a loved one you're sure understands you.

Someone is working hard from behind the scenes to cause a problem between you and a person you love.
So if you've had that feeling lately and you thought you were losing your mind, you can rest assured that you're not.
But what are you going to about it?
Well, there's only one thing to do: March right up to them, tell them you know what they're doing and demand that they stop.
You can bet they will.
Oh, they will all right.
