Texas Gov. Rick Perry

The latest person expressing a bit of doubt about the authenticity of Barack Obama’s purported birth certificate is none other than Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

The Republican presidential hopeful is the subject of a long question-and-answer report in today’s edition of Parade Magazine.

Autographed copies of Jerome Corsi’s “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” are available only from the WND Superstore

The relevant portion concerning the issue of the president’s eligibility was addressed briefly in this transcript:

Q: Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States?

Perry: I have no reason to think otherwise.

Q: That’s not a definitive, “Yes, I believe he”–

Perry: Well, I don’t have a definitive answer, because he’s never seen my birth certificate.

Q: But you’ve seen his.

Perry: I don’t know. Have I?

Q: You don’t believe what’s been released?

Perry: I don’t know. I had dinner with Donald Trump the other night.

Q: And?

Perry: That came up.

Q: And he said?

Perry: He doesn’t think it’s real.

Q: And you said?

Perry: I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the President of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.
