So I guess all Obama was doing was clearing the stink out of the media, nothing more, nothing less.

As for "serious" Republicans, I agree. It's a non-issue though. Any serious Republican isn't a birther to begin with. Beyond Donald Trump, I'm talking about Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mike "I Misspoke" Huckabee. I wouldn't doubt that there are others.

Let's hope the issue is put to rest. Maybe it will allow for more Republicans to get serious for a change. Maybe it will be John Boehner, whose spokesperson was quoted as saying, "This has long been a settled issue. The Speaker's focus is on cutting spending, lowering gas prices, and creating American jobs." Maybe it will be Mitt Romney, who recently tweeted: "What President Obama should really be releasing is a jobs plan."

Indeed. Getting serious means focusing on what matters.

It really depends on what you're talking about. America isn't the freest in all aspects. Every opportunity in this world isn't available in America.
