He's really just paying lip service to birtherism. He even says, "It would have been awfully hard to fraudulently file the birth notice of Barack Obama being born in Hawaii . . . ." That would be enough to get him denounced as a sellout (probably paid off by Soros) in some RW circles.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone on FR is denouncing him for his spinelessness in refusing to press the issue between now and November.
