President Obama's Birth Certificate

The Birth Certificate issue simply won't go away and Robert Gibbs has pretty much had enough. He's so fed and showed us a glimpse of his frustration at yesterday's briefing.

Watch here, read here, and the transcript is below.

Reporter Question: Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?

MR. GIBBS: No. (Laughter.) I mean, the God's honest truth is no. I mean, Bill, let's understand this -- and I almost hate to indulge in such an august setting as the White House -- and I mean this in seriousness -- the White House briefing room discussing the made-up, fictional nonsense of whether or not the President was born in this country. A year-and-a-half ago I asked that the birth certificate be put on the Internet because lord knows, you got a birth certificate and you put it on the Internet, what else could be the story?

Here's the deal , Bill. If I had some DNA, it wouldn't assuage those that don't believe he was born here. But I have news for them and for all of us: The President was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the 50th state of the greatest country on the face of the earth. He's a citizen.

But I have no doubt that Lester will ask me soon, and that I will receive e-mail --

Q You're wrong -- I've got another question. (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: I'm not entirely sure about that, Lester. But let's not --

Q Let me prove it. Let me prove it. (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: I'm happy to wager that you'll never ask me another birth question again.

Q No, no, no -- I didn't say "never again," I said, "not today."

MR. GIBBS: See, there we go. I'll take my winnings and put it in my son's college fund. But no, nothing will assuage them. But there are 10,000 more important issues for people in this country to discuss, rather than whether or not the President is a citizen.

Q Why do you think it keeps coming up?

MR. GIBBS: Because for $15, you can get an Internet address and say whatever you want.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, The Brody File was born in Englewood, New Jersey and I have proof.
