Boehner's job to be PR flak for Obama?

By Ralph Alter

Get a load of this video featuring David Gregory harassing House Speaker John Boehner over the fairly commonly held belief that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Why do our conservative leaders put up with this nonsense? Gregory's "questions" are more like monologues of the "when did you stop beating your wife" variety.

Apparently it is now the responsibility of the Republican leadership in Congress to convince Americans that Barack Obama is not a Muslim and that he was born in the United States. Funny, B.O. and his minions, despite a full-court press by the mainstream media, haven't been able to dislodge these conclusions arrived at by the simple perception of Obama's words and policies.
