How on Earth does WorldNutDaily get to bother Robert Gibbs, and why can't we bother him?
From their website:

Somebody finally asked Barack Obama's White House press secretary about the president's elusive birth certificate.

When asked by WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving why the president, who has pledged transparency in his administration, would not release his long-form birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility for office, spokesman Robert Gibbs guffawed in unison with members of the Washington press corps about the concerns of 400,000 petitioners who have demanded it.

"Are you looking for the president's birth certificate?" he asked incredulously. "Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the seal of the president's birth
. I know there are apparently at least 400,000 people – (laughter) – that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to download. I certainly hope by the fourth year of our administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy."

(To show you just how insane WorldNutDaily actually is, here is another paragraph)

The question comes as the controversy is heating up nationally – sparked in part by a new billboard campaign asking the question: "Where's the birth certificate?" The campaign has also raised more than $50,000 in contributions from the public. (And you'll NEVER guess who is behind the so-called campaign)

What's stopping DU from raising enough money for one of our members who live in the DC area from going and asking Gibbs the questions that actually matter...

When is Don Siegelman going to be exonerated?
When is DADT going to be done away with?
When is Obama going to release documents Bush didn't want to make public?
And more, much more.

Why the duck and cover? It's pretty much a non-debate. Unless one is a complete fucking imbecile.

4. Oh come on
If one of us asks an inconvenient question -- as was asked about same sex marriage -- you'll get the standard, "Mumble, mumble, dissemble, you know the president's position on that, mumble, mumble, next question."

If you follow up, "We've already discussed that. Next question."

Don't waste your money.
