Excepts,
Rep. Cliff Stearns, a senior Republican investigating the White House’s Solyndra energy loan guarantee, told reporters today that he is still, despite all evidence to the contrary, not convinced that President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is valid.
“I am, shall we say, looking at all the evidence,” Stearns, R-Fla., said at the Capitol today, just weeks after he waded back into the debate during a town hall meeting with constituents last month."
"Last week Dan Pfeiffer, the president’s communications director, called into question the legitimacy of Stearns’Solyndra investigation into the Energy Department’s $535 million loan guarantee to the now bankrupt energy company, considering the absurdity of his concerns over whether the president is a natural born citizen. Stearns is the chairman of the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee.
“One of the GOP members leading the Solyndra investigation is a birther, which raises all sorts of questions,” @pfeiffer44 tweeted. But last week, Stearns’ spokesman Paul Flusche told ABC News the story was “old news” and he had no further no comment on the issue."
"But that did not stop Stearns from weighing in again today.
Asked if he thinks the president’s birth certificate is authentic, Stearns suggested the issue is not settled for him personally yet, as first reported by the Hill and Roll Call. Before coming to a conclusion, Stearns says he is awaiting the results of another independent investigation by Maricopa County [Ariz.] Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who claims he has proof the birth certificate is a “computer-generated forgery.”
“We are just going to hold in abeyance a final decision until we hear [an outcome],” Stearns said. “Some of these people seem to have legitimate concerns, so I don’t think it is unreasonable just to see what they have to say.”"
