Congressional birthers admit Obama was born in the US

It's a small thing, but everyone present in the House today voted on a proclamation that, in part, said Obama was born in Hawaii. The non-binding resolution was ostensibly about the 50th anniversary of Hawaii's statehood.

Among the Yes votes: Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), the lead sponsor of the infamous "Birther Bill" to require presidential candidates to present their birth certificates, and who had previously said he wouldn't "swear on a stack of Bibles" that Obama is a natural-born American citizen. Several other co-sponsors of the Birther Bill also voted yes: Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Dan Burton (R-IN), John Culberson (R-TX), Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), and Ted Poe (R-TX).

The far-Right Wing of the Republican Party (some would argue that is the base) will be so disappointed.
