Birthers Officially Full of Shit... Trump to Release Tax Form?
White House releases full Obama birth certificate
In a gesture acknowledging the distracting effect that a false but persistent rumor has had on the Obama presidency, the White House yesterday released the long-form version of Barack Obama’s birth certificate, which showed that he was born in Honolulu. ![]() President Obama expressed puzzlement yesterday that some people continue to believe he is not a US citizen. (Jewel Samad/ AFP/ Getty Images) OBAMA'S BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS Copyright © 2008 WhatReallyHappened.c om Hawaii has two major newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin. BOTH newspapers include birth announcements, and BOTH newspapers record the August 4th, 1961 birth of Barack Obama. ![]() Now, McCain's (Rove's) useful idiots will scream that these are fakes, that they are part of this grand conspiracy by Obama's parents to smuggle a newborn baby from Kenya into Honolulu to obtain a birth certificate and birth announcements. But what is lacking in their story is MOTIVE. It's not like Obama's parents knew back then that Barack would go into politics, and need to be "Natural Born." Why bother with such a deception, which includes a very risky flight half way around the world with a newborn baby. Under US law, Barack is a US citizen no matter where he was born because his mother was an American citizen, born and raised in Kansas. The question of location is only relevant to the "Natural Born" requirement to be President. Barack's parents could not have known at the time of his birth that this would be an issue. continued The long form birth certificate - The White House Your morning jolt House speaker suggests ‘birther’ bill has a limited future But Ralston, who has developed a strong relationship with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, suggested that HB 401 stood little chance of making it to the floor for passage, despite carrying the signatures of 93 Republican lawmakers. snopes.com 2008 Moreover, both of Honolulu's major newspapers (the Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin) published announcements in August 1961 documenting the birth, in Honolulu, of a son to "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama" on 4 August 1961 Obama's Birth Certificate Obama doctor's family 'blown away' The family of a doctor whose signature appears on President Obama's birth certificate woke up to the news Wednesday that the late obstetrician had delivered Obama. Relatives of Dr. David Sinclair said they were "blown away" and "honored. ![]() April 28, 2011 Enough already! Voters tire of Obama birth certificate flap With gas prices soaring and high employment, residents said it's time to focus on more pressing issues affecting the nation. Birthers, Insanity, by Ezra Grant At the time he was sworn into office on Jan*u*ary 20th 2009, the United States econ*omy was on the brink of a cliff with one foot already off the edge. On a monthly basis, over 500,000 peo*ple were los*ing their jobs. He walked into office with a deficit of 1.8 tril*lion dol*lars, and a pro*jected deficit of 8 tril*lion over 10 years, thanks to the poli*cies of his pre*de*ces*sor George Bush. Respect for Amer*ica was at an all time low, this too, due to the poli*cies of George Bush and the war in Iraq. Birther Bill Sponsor Receives Financial Support From House GOP Leadership The latest FEC filings show that Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), the author and main sponsor of the infamous "Birther Bill" in the House to require Presidential candidates to submit proof of citizenship, is receiving financial support from some prominent people -- namely, the House GOP leadership, in their regular donations to GOP incumbents. The Birthers in Congress Seventeen men and women who are either enabling the fringe movement or having trouble admitting Obama is president. "The only people that I know who are afraid to take drug tests are the people who use drugs," says Rep. Bill Posey. The Florida Republican is the author of the so-called "Birther" bill, which would require future presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates. The fact that President Obama has already submitted -- forgive the extension of Posey's metaphor -- a clean urine sample seems to be completely irrelevant. Whether it's out of cynicism, fear of the GOP base or a simple inability to read and reason, the ranks of Birthers in Congress seem to be growing. ![]() Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., Rep. Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., botttom row, from left, Rep. John Campbell, R-Calif., Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas. Arizona Republicans Sponsor Birther Bill Obama Birth Certificate Bill Advances, Would Allow Hawaii To Ignore Requests (huffingtonpost.com) Lola Ade*sioye: (huffingtonpost.com) Racist Birther Bill Makes Republicans Look Ridiculous ![]() Release of President Obama’s Long-Form Birth Certificate Was Stupid and Wrong The American people have been well-served by this Birther story, for precisely the reasons President Obama gave to end it. While it did give rise to an absurdly popular Donald Trump candidacy, it also revealed to Americans the unserious nature of an absurdly large number of Republicans. This issue promised to be a crucible against which GOP candidates (as they eventually declared) could be judged sane or not. Ann Coulter To O’Reilly: MSNBC, Liberals Are To Blame For Birther Media Madness ![]() Jon Stewart Takes Down The Media And Trump For Obama Birth Certificate Controversy Daily Show host Jon Stewart had a field day with the circus surrounding the White House’s presentation of President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate and Donald Trump’s subsequent… helicoptering. All joking about Trump’s hair aside and ostentatious hobbies aside, Stewart brought up a great point: Why are so many outlets painting the revelation of Obama’s long-form birth certificate as “shocking news”? Wouldn’t the truly shocking news have been that Obama was not, in fact, an American citizen? Or that he was some sort of humanoid robot the entire time? Has the definition of “shocking” really changed so very dramatically? continued

That is a pretty good point..

All joking aside? You've got to be kidding, this is the Donald somethings living on my head Trumpster. Running for president is enough of a joke without the hair piece and air time spewing weird horshit.
I don't think many considered it seriously or was shocked when he produced it, again. I just think its a diversion from the other goofy shit the GOPerverts say and do. Trump's an ass. enough said. At least it pegs the loonies who thought there was something to it. I think they should all get a free, all expense paid trip to Fukushima.

Where's my ticket? Lol. I'd vote for Trump as would I have voted for Perot (sp?). They know how to make money and right now the US needs somebody to help turn our economy around. It may not be the best choice but it really couldn't hurt.

Not saying he can't be a complete doucher but he can turn a profit. He's been down but he came back.
Donald Trump "Trump International Hotel and Tower New York: Trump provided his name and expertise to the building's owner (GE) during the building's re-development in 1994 for a fee totaling $40 million ($25 million for project management and $15 million in incentives deriving from the condo sales). Forbes values Trump's stake at $12 million. Trump Park Avenue: Park Avenue & 59th Street. It is valued at $142 million. Nike Store: The Niketown store is located in Trump Tower. It is valued at $120 million. Palm Beach estate: 43,000 square feet (4,000 m²) on a large oceanfront lot in Palm Beach. Trump purchased this property for $40 million at a bankruptcy auction in 2004. Renovations to the property were led by the Season 3 Apprentice Kendra Todd, and Trump sold the property for $100 million in June 2008, making it the most expensive house ever sold in the United States. (The preivous record is $70 million for Ron Perelman's Palm Beach estate in 2004.). Forbes values his stake in the property for $43 million. Mar-A-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida: Most of this estate has been converted into a private club. This landmark property, according to Trump, has received bids near $200,000,000. However, Forbes magazine does not take into account either of Trump's large vacation residences (Mar-A-Lago or his 213-acre (0.86*km2) spread near Bedford, NY in Westchester County, NY) for its valuation of his wealth." He's got a checkered past but who doesn't? Not arguing just conversing..

That's a good, but sad, point. Pretty much every politician in Washington is a millionaire, yet we keep electing them to represent us, as if they could.

The economy is fucked and he knows how to turn a fucked situation around. He's not any worse than what we've had in the past. That's why theirs a vote. The people will decide, then bitch about it later down the road. Palin or Obama better? I think not

Also, you again demonstrate that you have no idea that running the government is not like running a business in any way. You can't go in there and start telling people what to do, when to do it, and so on. It doesn't work like that, nor should it. That is why we have something called checks and balances. A business is not a democracy. Does that make sense to you? That's why Chump or any of these teabagger wingnuts would be utter disaster. Thinks there's gridlock now? Ha

there hasn't been all that much gridlock, and that's a big part of the problem, issues get spun instead of adressed
