Last week, we highlighted a video published by FireDogLake that included a somewhat troubling response from GOP Rep. Aaron Schock regarding the manufactured controversy over President Obama's birth certificate.  When asked by blogger Mike Stark if he thinks Obama is a "natural born" U.S. citizen, Schock initially answered, "That's a question he [Obama] needs to answer, not me." He then went on to say, "Well, he was my U.S. Senator.  He said he was [a citizen], so I believe he was." 

Considering how ridiculous this entire issue is, Schock's answer was surprisingly wishy-washy.

Today, the State Journal-Register's Bernie Schoenburg circled back and got a more definitive response from Schock's office.  “Congressman Schock has no doubt whatsoever that President Obama was born in the United States,” spokesman Dave Natonski told him.  Schoenburg received a similar response from the office of Republican Congressman John Shimkus, who said in a statement: "I do not believe the president’s birth should be questioned any further."
