Excerpt:
"Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.), already under fire for allegations he bribed his primary opponent to drop out of the race, questioned the legitimacy of President Obama's birth certificate at a town-hall meeting.
Meeting with constituents in Belleview, Fla., on Feb. 25, Stearns was asked about Obama's citizenship and whether a grand jury was looking into the issue. Stearns said the "general consensus" was that Obama had produced a birth certificate.
"The question is, is it legitimate? That’s where we stand now," Stearns said in a video first obtained by the blog Think Progress. "I’ve seen a copy of it on television. But you know the governor of Hawaii couldn’t get what he felt was an original of the birth certificate. He tried to do it and gave up on it."
