Obama's Birth Certificate and the Unsinkable Donald

Trump was played like a grand piano, plain and simple. No sooner had he told Anderson Cooper 'that the birth certificate is missing. . . . it’s not there or it doesn’t exist," than The President releases the so-called long-form certificate in question. You'd think that would shut Trump's mouth, but no -- now he's off to cast a cloud on The President by raising doubts about his intelligence, his academic records, and so on and so forth, while those for whom no amount of truth will penetrate their consciousness, the long-form certificate is without evidentiary value. Who are they kidding, except others like them?

None of it matters -- Obama is doing the job he was elected to do, which is to right the ship of state that George Bush and his cronies capsized. Need I remind you that Bush, during his 8 years in office, more than doubled the National Debt (from $5.8 to $11.9 trillion) and increased the Budget Deficit by more than 10-fold (from $133 billion to nearly $1.9 trillion). http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch...

And the stock market, it went from around 10,500 to around 8,200 during the Bush years; and from around 8,200 to 12,500 on April 22, 2011 under President Obama.

Enough said, I think. Have a good weekend, everyone.

The only point I am going to respectfully disagree with you on is that this is not like "every"conspiracy theory. There are many conspiracy theories that are supported by circumstantial evidence.

For example, a U.S. congressional committee once concluded that JFK was likely killed as a result of a conspiracy, and that the lone gunman tale aka the official explanation was not likely true. This is actually a part of the U.S. Congressional record.

The birthers are bigots and racists looking to delegitimize the POTUS.

Because people who say, "should have came," are soooo far beneath his notice that he didn't even hear you (and yours) asking.

PigHarris:

Hey Dipshit: The POTUS "did" release his short form birth certificate several years ago. In any courtroom in the United States, the short form is considered prima facie evidence of the live birth. Do you know what prima facie evidence means? Let me give you an example.

Your post above is prima facie evidence of your palpable stupidity.

You quite obviously either did not read the article you commented on, or else you didn't understand it. The President simply waited until he could, by releasing the certificate at the most opportune moment, silence the most rabid, most vocal, most annoying "birther" out there, since most of the visible Republican politicians had already abandoned this line of attack. You'll recall that, just the day before, Trump told Anderson Cooper "“Well I’ve been told very recently, Anderson, that the birth certificate is missing. I’ve been told that it’s not there or it doesn’t exist." Well, there you have it . . . a very, very good reason why the President didn't release the certificate sooner. Why would anyone in their right mind support Trump for anything?

If the president was white this would be a non issue. You people get on my nerves. This has nothing to do with anything except the president is African American and it has been eating at you bigots ever since he was elected. You have had over 200 years of control and look at it! I am so sick of this same old empty wagon going down the street empty and making noise. Get over your selves.

Political correctness did not exist in the early sixties so Negroes were still Negroes. African is a geographic location, not a race; there are caucasion Africans too. I will bet good money that on every other birth certificate in Hawaii in 1961, if the child was half black, the parent's race is listed as Negro.· They may call it a scatological contribution to the environment by an essential species but I think it smells a lot like bullshit!
