FREMONT, Ohio - U.S. Rep. Bob Latta (R., Bowling Green) appeared to dodge a question about President Obama's birth origin during a town-hall meeting that featured an outpouring of strong anti-Washington views Monday night.
The issue of the President's native land came up toward the end of a two-hour meeting after one speaker questioned whether Mr. Obama was born in the United States, as the Constitution requires for a President.
That drew an outburst from a person in the audience, Tom Younker, 63, of Gibsonburg, Ohio., who challenged Mr. Latta.
"Is Barack Obama American or is he African?" said Mr. Younker, a painting contractor. "It's pretty important that you let the people know."
