Birthers: ils seraient trente ou quarante à la Chambre des représentants...

C'est le représentant républicain de l'état de New York Peter King qui évalue ainsi la proportion de représentants qui remettent toujours en question la légitimité de l'élection du Président Obama en raison de son lieu de naissance. Faut-il s'inquiéter et mentionner une connotation raciste? Je ne sais trop, mais assurément des gens votent contre Obama et non pour ou contre un projet de loi.

 "Republican Rep. Peter King (NY) said Tuesday that the government shutdown is being driven by “probably 30 or 40 Republicans” who believe President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the U.S. and therefore is not in office legitimately.

 “There’s absolutely no reason for the government to be shut down,” King told MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews.

Matthews told King that he has heard members of the GOP make statements that they cannot accept the fact the Obama was elected.

 “I’ve had members, they know who they are, they say — ‘I really can’t say with my lips that this man, Barack Obama, was legitimately elected president.’ They choke on that,” Matthews said. “How many are there in Congress on your side that represent that rejectionist front?”

 “I would say there’s probably 30 or 40 who are like that,” King said. “As there were a number of Democrats who felt that way about George W. Bush, and going back to when you and I first met, Republicans who felt that way about Bill Clinton… This is a very dangerous aspect to our government.”
