How outrageous this "issue" will seem to future history readers.

I hope the voters remember this the next time Bucco is up for reelection. If this is an indication of the man's judgement, he should find a new line of work.

I usually state that NJ republicans are intelligent people and not the typical right-wing loonies. I may have to alter that assessment.

What a funny man - funny and sad - he has my sympathy. If his health insurance is up to it, he should get the treatment that he surely needs .

John Sette is a Joke. If Republican Chairman Sette actually did dedicate valuable Party resources toward this Birther event, then Sette should RESIGN today to save Morris County Republicans any further shame and embarrassment from his chairmanship.

stupid comment the kind we don't need , issue been settled

This man is on the fringe. He represents us how is voting on other items that effect our lives. I guess he was elected on the coat tails of his father and in the last generated would have been ousted for his affairs.

The Star-Ledger also covers this Sette-created scandal http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/04/nj_assemblyman_says_jerome_cor.html
Using Republican Party funds for a Birther event!
Resign today, John Sette, and save Morris County Republicans any further shame and embarrassment from your chairmanship.

Read the Ledger article, MotownRepub. The Ledger article states: "Morris County Republican Chairman John Sette said his party contributed towards renting the hall." And didn't you get the Morris County Republican Committee blast email announcing and promoting the Corsi-Birther event?

I'm embarrasssed that Bucco is my representative.

Freeholder Tom Mastrangelo attended the Birther event too?!?!
Did Tea Partier Hank Lyon attend it?

Go ahead Bucco, just throw your supporters away. What are you thinking?

I don't understand the personal hate comments on this thread. One can disagree without offending. Personally, I don't understand why any president-elect's both certificate is sealed. This is a requirement for president. It should not be a partisan issue at all. I commend our representatives for the bold move of speaking what they believe. Why the personal attacks?

Assemblyman Bucco, John Sette and the other believers should present their own actual birth certificates as proof of their birth. If the factual verififaction given by President Obama is not sufficient, they should be held to the same standard. Would a lack of proof cause them to be considered illegals?
I'd also like to see verificaton Mr. Corsi's birth since he presents himself as an expert on this matter. Since his Swift Boat story was proven false, how can we be expected to believe the story he created for his latest book?
Since this has become such an improtant issue to the County Republicans, perhaps every candidate they place on our ballots should be required to follow the same standards they expect of those they accuse.

I'm certainly most open to vote for the best person for the job but, in general, it seems to me that the GOP party members seem to be becoming more peculiar every time I open a paper or listen to the broadcast media -- from the top all the way down to local public servants -- and in every state. I'm not very political, but as an "Average Joe" the party, as a whole, is kind of freaking me out. I think I'll stick with the democrats and independents for the time being.

This inane comment from an elected official from Morris County, NJ. is frightening and terrifying. I await the results of his further research. Is this the thought process that will unite America? Perhaps we all are underestimating the effect of fear publicity. Throw enough stuff against the wall and something will stick. Why don't we stick with security, the economy and jobs and work together?

Re Rep Bucco;s comments (He sounds very foreign!)..I don't think he has a brain. Why do we vote these idiot hacks into office?

All of that thick grease on his hair must have seeped into his brain.

Reading this article made me embarrassed at our collective ignorance ,
reading the replies renewed my faith and reminded me of the Morristown and the Morristownians that I love!

Mr. Bucco should know better. He should be ashamed that he is so afraid to tea party radicals that he cannot muster the courage to appeal to reason.

I'm not sure Senator Bucco has a brain. I won't believe it until we have a chance to actually look into his skull.

From the State of Hawaii:

"In June 2008, President Obama released his Certification of Live Birth, which is sometimes referred to in the media as a “short form” birth certificate. Both documents are legally sufficient evidence of birth in the State of Hawai'i, and both provide the same fundamental information: President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawai'i at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961, to mother Stanley Ann Dunham and father Barack Hussein Obama."

Could it be any more clear than that?

http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/News_Release_Birth_Certificate_042711.pdf

It's interesting to me how none of these people who are "critical" (to put it nicely) of the ideas Dr. Corsi presented were there to hear the evidence. Talk about not being open minded. That's what's really dangerous.

I'm confused - I thought April Fools Day was a few days ago...

Stupid, stupid, stupid, and unbelievable.

What an utter waste of time as well as embarassing to the Morris County Republicans. You want to criticize Obama on the economy and foreign policy, fair enough. But to keep dredging up this nonsense is lunacy.

As I did, if you would like to tell Assemblyman Anthony Bucco Jr. what you think of his embarrassing comments, this is the link to his website: http://www.congress.org/bio/id/63113

It shows the low level of intelligence, or the total lack of common sense, of people who believe this birther baloney. The simple reality is that the Hawaii newspapers printed a birth notice when Obama was born. Does anyone really think that 50 years ago some conspiarcy was hatched to create an identity so this guy could some day be President?

And if all the so-called socialists, or marxists, or islamic facists really wanted to infiltrate the US government or White House would they name their front man Barack Obama, or would they recruit some white guy named Joe Smith, or Tom Kelly, or GI Joe, to fool the American public? It is a shame to see the formerly sensible NJ Republicans infiltrated by the right wing wacko element. These are the same people who branded Dwight D. Eisenhower a member of the communist conspiracy.

Bucco is a sick man. He,has nothing to do. He.looks disgustin, and ugly. He is jealous of the president. Mr. Bucco is a very sick man who is desperate to say anthing, very sick man.

To all: if your so confident there's nothing to Obama's birth certificate, why are you making such a big deal about what Bucco is saying?...... In the grand scheme of things, too bad, Anthony Buccoo Jr,. has the right to voice his opinions too and probably will be reelected until for many years to come. http://web.archive.org/web/20040627142700/eastandard.net/headlines/news26060403.htm

Do they think that this is going to sell in Morris County? This has been race based sine the beginning and now we have Morris County Elected officials adding to it. Digusting.

After looking at the poll I am incouraged. Statistics say that 1 out of every 4 people suffer from some kind of mental defect from mild neurosis to raging insanity and this is pretty much on target

I understand people want to create confusion amongst the voters. The problem I have with this news story is that there are other economic issues that we need to focus on. As a registered voter, I am tired of witnessing the dysfunction exhibited by our so called political leaders. Focus on what matters and things that can be changed. Whatever conspiracy theory you have about Obama's citizenship is irrelevant at this point and you can do nothing to change it. Let's focus on creating jobs and ways to make the economy stable.

It's just absurd that people are still entertaining this ridiculousness. There has yet to be any conclusive evidence presented which would call into question where he was born. If Bucco is so certain, why doesn't he specifically mention the evidence which he thinks results in his certainty.

Tony's a good man. It's sad to think he has to pander to the very worst elements of the Republican Party by even getting involved in this stupidity.

Hey all Obama supporters. The fact is the issue was NEVER fully resolved & questions remain for many US citizens. Hey...I'd like to know the answer to how he was able to attend the muslim school in Indonesia if the law dictates only citizens & muslims are permitted. And if he was adopted by his step father. By doing so he would have to renounce his US citizenship. And how did he pay for college? Speculation is that he was admitted to Occidental as an international student. How about he puts the speculation to rest and provide answers & share his college transcripts. He is one fantasy story after another. How is it a Harvard law grad, consitutional law, stated on at least 3 occasions the US has 57 States? admits he's never had a job. requires the

I think it is so sad we don't question more public seevant = public employee....works for me, you etc. Are you sheep following the herder to utopia?

Thomas Lotto doesn't know his Shakespeare. The quote is, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Perhaps that carelessness (ignorance?) explains his posting all his comments twice.

At least this time you got the "methinks" right. The ego, well, that's inexplicable.

"i know you read everything I write." You "waste so much time on me." Can you spell "narcissist?"

Stalking? Perhaps I should accuse you of the same. You've answered me as many times as I replied to you. You obviously don't know what stalking is and how serious it is.

I answered you first, that is true. but didn't you want to be responded to? Isn't that why you posted your comment? Perhaps you wanted to be ignored. In which, I shall oblige you henceforth.

Touche.
