President Obama, speaking at a fundraising event Tuesday in Boston, made light of the "birther" conspiracy debate about whether he was really born in Hawaii.

I think there's nothing -- there's no weakness in us trying to reach out and seeing if we can find common ground. Now, there are going to be times where we can't. I was born in Hawaii, what can I say? I mean, I just... I can't change those facts.

The comment provoked laughter from the Democratic audience.

============================================================
Let's face it, we don't know where Bary Soetoro was born, we aren't even sure what his real name is. It's fun to act like we are in the know, it's fun to laugh at the people labeled as "birthers" those who dare question the official story. I mean, were you there? He might have been born in Kenya. He may have been born in Hawaii and then given up his U.S. citizenship to go to school in Indonesia, we just don't know.
But it seems to make some people feel good to pretend to know.

"We are superior to those who don't believe!"

"We have no more evidence than they, yet we believe, why can't they?"

I can't help but think it's the same type of psychology that applies to 9-11.
The people that dare to question the official story are immediately ridiculed and labeled, no matter how ridicules the official story is.

"Why can't they believe that building 7 just fell down, into it's own footprint?"

"We do!"
