  When people really believe something to be true, they can't be easily diswaded as too much energy has been extended to allow it to go to waste.

  Trump is a laugh a minute! Although his entire belief was based on Obama not being an American, he now takes credit for "exposing" the birth certificate!
  The guy with the dead rat on his head is a moron. Maybe a rich moron, but who knows really?
  He may owe more than he has in assets, he was broke and in debt not long ago.

  These silly attacks won't stop because the hatred runs so deep. You've got to hand it to the conservatives, they use these people for free advertising by selling them a story and easily getting them distracted from the real issues at hand. You'd think these people would at least have an inkling that the conservatives are stealing from them to finance entitlements for the wealthy. No such luck! Sad and pathetic to say the least and one of the main reasons this country is failing. People are asleep at the wheel! For them, ignorance is bliss. For the rest of us, their ignorance is causing major damage.

Well...In Trump's gleaming reply today...the next in line...is Obama's college transcripts. So, the next argumentable and perpetuating point is laid out....and so on...and so on.
Meanwhile...here we sit with the effects of a deflated dollar and soaring gas prices.

How can anyone take politics serious anymore with the main topic which was currently debated...having been a piece of paper. Something which should have been settled long before rec'ving an official party nomination.

Meanwhile the average hard working Americans are feeling the pinch of these times...and it is serious!

  Perot was the same mish-mash of fact and populist emotionalism that Trump is now. If one examines Perot's position on policy there isn't much difference between the two. If one examines the gross tonnage of each ego one should conclude that the only difference is Trump has the biggest hair and Perot is shorter and from Texarkana.

Hell no.
Those who refuse to accept reality will still refuse to accept reality.
The main yahoo on this issue, Donald Trump, has officially "moved on" (even before declaring victory and taking "credit" for this "concession" on Obama's part).
He is now turning his crack (or, I should say, "crackhead") investigative team onto Obama's school records.

Now that we've satisfied that Obama was ELIGIBLE to run for POTUS by virtue of being born in the US, the next thing to assail is his educational qualifications.
Which really is even sillier.
Unlike W, Obama did not have a daddy pulling strings to get him into an Ivy League college.

  Trump: Excuse me! That's not your business!

  Cooper: What, exactly, did your team find, Mr. Trump?
  Trump: It's inappropriate to say at this time.
  Cooper: But you maintain there is evidence that Mr. Obama is from Obamatron
  Trump: Yes. I have concrete evidence that Obama comes from this planet. He is the one and only person on earth who comes from there. Obamatrons don't speak English but they told my reporters quite clearly that Obama is from their planet.

Being that the real birth cert of the prez was finally produced - me thinks that the controversy will finally be over.

After looking at it - it has all the hallmarks of mine and what Donald Trump was looking for. The prez is a 'natural born' citizen of the USA which is what the US Constitution calls for - a naturalized citizen is one that was not born here.

  I'm glad his daughters aren't usually discussed either. Kids that age should be untouchable. And I wish Obama himself hadn't brought them into the conversation! HE DID THAT himself by saying in a public speech that he "wouldn't want them punished with a baby"! So, apparently he can use them for his liberal agenda and tell the world that he's teaching them to be in favor of baby-killing. Shame on him. Anyone now who brings up that subject has free reign to do so.

There are people alive right now that will go to the grave believing Obama was not born in this country. For them, he will forever be the False President. There are still some people who believe the Holocaust never happened, after all.

Obama has, however, made a huge plurality of Republicans look like total morons, according to the polls.

  I see why you might be annoyed but I think gesturing to a website as an example of how foolish some of the opposition are gels fine with scoffing when the opposition uses the same website as evidence to be taken seriously by the other side. I mean, in an argument with a, say, an anti-feminist (I'm using this purely as an example, mind) I probably wouldn't cite a foremost feminist blog as a source opposing them. It'd be a waste of my time, they wouldn't take it seriously.

  He did show his birth certificate - in 2008. It was a valid birth certificate accepted by the Elections Board, the RNC, and the DNC. It's the same birth certificate that allows you to obtain a social securty card, a US passport, and a driver's license. He presented it. It is the short-form certificate that the state of Hawaii now issues as proof of birth there.
  However a movement known as the "Birthers" which sprang from the Tea Party kept inventing conspiracies around it. It wasn't valid, it had been faked, it was altered, it wasn't a "true birth certificate," etc. So it drug on, and on, and on, and then possible 2012 Presidential Candidates- namely Donald Trump brought the issue back from the grave.
  
  So now, the "real" certificate is out and now it is being called into question by the loons lol..

  You can vate strictly for Dems and against all Repubs, that is your right and noone can take that from you. But you cannot tell me only Dems have good ideas. Both sides have good ideas and both sides have bad ones. Some of us like me vote as we see fit, that is our right as well. I vote for what I beleive is the best way. I am not always correct. I voted for Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and in the last election I voted for Mcain. , he seemed to be the lesser of 2 evils. I did not support either canidate. I am glad Mcain lost because over time Palin has proven she is not qualified for President or VP. But I am also disappointed in Obamas performance to date. I admit I hoped for more after he was sworn in, but he has not delivered. And please do not say that he has been held up because of Repubs because that argument holds no water for the first 2 years of his administration. You can make that argument for after the midterm elections now that Repubs hold control of the house. I am sorry to say that with the way things are now on capital hill, I cannot swee anything getting accomplished. Both sides will be to blame depending on the issue.

Lets open a new can of worms. President Obama may have been born in Hawaii, but is Hawaii really a state?

There are those who believe Hawaii was integrated into the United States in a way that was not legally valid and that the vote for statehood was not a valid exercise of self-determination and decolonization and has no validity in international law because it was not voted on by the indigenous Hawaiian people but by an occupational force.

The question on the ballot was "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a state?" The options were
Yes or No? Become a state, or remain a territory?

The option of Hawaiian independence was not even on the ballot. Did Hawaii not have the option to become an independent country in 1959? In fact it did.

Those who voted would have been any U.S. citizen who had resided in the islands for a year, which included large numbers of American military servicemen and their families, who were essentially the occupation force that had illegally held Hawaii since the admittedly unlawful annexation in 1898.

Native Hawaiians would not have been allowed to vote. The indigenous Hawaiian people never directly relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people or over their national lands to the United States, either through their monarchy or through a plebiscite or referendum.

  If the consent of native people is the standard, then most of the United States is not actually part of the United States. In addition, if the consent of all people in question is required, then since blacks and other groups were not given the right to vote in most of America for a long time, most of those decisions on statehood would also be null and void.

If you wonder why it took so long for us to see this birth certificate, let me ask a question. If you had an enemy who was determined to destroy you and that person demanded something from you, would you be inclined to give it to him? Would you actually go out of your way, circumvent the law and hire a lawyer to help you to comply with your sworn enemy's demand? I wouldn't. I would tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine and then ignore him. I would not even presented the Certificate of Live Birth that was more than enough legal proof of BHO's place and time of birth. Ditto for the academic records. I have to pay to get copies of my transcripts and I have to cut through red tape and it is a hassle. I would not dignify some idiot's request for my papers regardless of who they were. We need to ignore these bozos from now on. If Fox News is the only one talking about this garbage, the political discourse would be clearer and the press could actually do its job of informing and educating the public.

  I don't see how producing one's birth certificate is going above and beyond, after all it's required to get a social security card or a driver's license. Obama showed poor judgment and mishandled the whole affair. It should have been a non-issue which would have quietly gone away if he had just produced the birth certificate in the first place. By withholding, he prolonged the speculation, inflamed everyone's curiosity, and turned the whole business into a circus side show.

  Well, the abortion issue had already been around. But his public statements advocating irresponsibility and baby-killing certainly made the Left's views seem legitimate to many people. After all, if a PRESIDENT says something is okay, who are they to have the guts to say it's not?! Some people don't seem to have a set moral code of their own, so when someone so famous and charismatic says something, they take it as Gospel.
  
  And he has succeeded in pushing our legal system to leap from one rule of thumb legally to a totally opposite view, bypassing the normal sytem. And he did it on a Federal basis, bypassing State laws and State's rights, and used our military to do it, used them as pawns. I'm sure you can figure that one out.
  
  Matter of fact, it's really not the President's job nor business to push laws like that into place or out of place! It's up to individuals and States to propose legislation that goes to Congress and then to the President.
  Obama is an activist, period. He seems to think he's head of all three branches of Government and not only overseer of them, but leader/originator of them all. He's not Presidential material and never has been.

  You wrongly assume I focus only on the birth certificate issue.
  I've told you several times that my main concerns are Obama's policies on abortion, socialism, and immorality.
  Even the financial issue isn't the top of concerns. If a man cleans up his moral act, the rest of it, the business end of it, will follow not long after. That's my belief.
  
  He didn't call my bluff in any way. I've always believed he was being deliberately non-transparent just so most Americans would focus on the birth certificate issue AND the bailouts and the racial issues, so that he could push through his immoral and social agenda. Which is what he did, at least he got most of it pushed through. The Democratic half of Congress that skipped town at first during the first issue before Obama officially took office, ended up staying intentionally when the issue was DADT that Obama wanted to push through. He/they pushed "Obamacare" through after hiding themselves away from the Republicans. He's managed to get things through under the wire, just in the nick of time, while conservatives are still numb from his audacious behavior.
  
  I haven't borne false witness against him. And it's not right of you to accuse anyone of such. People like me asked for proof of something that he should've been able to provide immediately and openly, which he did not do. And perhaps still hasn't done. Who knows? After someone exhibits sneakiness and tyrannical behavior so many times, I personally wouldn't trust anything that comes from them.
  
  All he's doing right now with the birth certificate issue is playing games again, trying to keep the focus on yet another layer of that issue, while he and his cronies construct another huge Election campaign.

  Where to begin? Immoral? tyrannical? Christian-based laws? repent? I will just answer "tyrannical." I know that all fo you on the right believe as I do that we have the greatest form of government in the world. Our constitution was written to specifically make tyranny impossible and it has succeeded for over 20 years. It is impossible for a tyrant to inhabit the oval office, because the executive is checked and balanced by the judicial and the legislative branches. No sane person would assert that the Congress or the Supreme Court are in league with the president to tyrannize the people of the United States. Mr. Obama does not have the power to impose his views on anyone without the consent of Congress and the Supreme Court. He has so many rabid enemies that he would not get away with anything illegal or unconstitutional. That is the way our system is set up. if you believe in the greatness of America, you cannot rationally believe that the president is a tyrant.
  I do not see anything that is truly immoral about the policies of the president. It is your opinion due to religious intolerance that the rights of gay people to live with the same privileges as the rest of us. You think that the members of my family are unworthy of respect, equality, tolerance or redemption.

This article discusses the racist implications of the birther mania.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket … -president

From the article:

"Birthers emphatically deny such criticism [of racial motivations]. But it's difficult to apprehend the ongoing resistance to proof of Obama's citizenship without crediting racial fear as a significant factor. At first, after all, many adherents of birtherism argued that the administration fueled speculation by failing to release the long-form version of Obama's birth certificate, but now that this version has been released to the public, the call continues to go out for other kinds of information about Obama's past to be released--a level of scrutiny that neither McCain nor Obama's 43 predecessors in the Oval Office were expected to face."

Also, a writer is quoted:

"And if you think race isn't what this is about at its core, ask yourself if there would even be a birther conspiracy if Barack Obama were white and named Bart Oberstar. If you think there would be, you are delusional."

I agree that race has a lot to do with it. But everybody is also ignoring xenophobia. Since Barack Hussein Obama is not an Anglo-Saxon name typical of the Presidency, it is easy to see him as a foreigner, independent of his skin color.

  Watch out for cramps! A cramped prerogative can be quite painful, I understand! Be sure and warm up properly!

Well, now it starts:
The finger-pointer get the finger pointed back at him!

"Fickle-Finger of Fate", as we learned with "Laugh In".

Salon.com:

"One of Donald’s first challenges came in October 1973, when the Justice Department hit the Trump Organization with a major discrimination suit for violating the Fair Housing Act. The Times reported:

” … the Government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals “because of race and color.” It also charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were avaliable."

Uhhh, not racist?
Now we have to wonder, don't we? I mean---hello!

Scrutiny, that's the down-fall of hypocrits.

Reminds me of MLK, who was SHOCKED to discover that blacks in the Lower East (?) side of Chicago paid more in rent to live in slums, than people on the Upper East(?) paid to live in luxury condo's!!

This was all true. And THAT, and red-lining is why the CRA was needed!!

And the greedy banksters who conned and swindled people...in the likes of Donald Trump,imo--now blame the people they swindled.

...i see Obama as American whether or not he was born in the US or not....

...try having an american/british transplant parachuted into Canada to run for leader and clean up the country....lived in Canada (from Russia I think - not sure if he was born in Canada - don't care where he was born really) but most of his adult years were spent outside of Canada (Britain and then the USA)(professor!) (with his mistress turned wife) and basically had very little Canadian connection - what does he really know about Canada? - now that's something to cry about....huh! He came to Canada in 2005 with his mistress turned wife (not sure what country he dropped the kids and mother of his children off) just to enter politics...ack! and now he's trying to become leader...ack again!...but it's not working luckily according to the polls - people don't seem to really like him...i'm so glad!...our election is Monday (May 2)

...don't get me wrong - i think Britain and the US are great countries - but I don't want someone sailing in to 'fix us' - where ever they flew in from!...this guy is not a Canadian in my books....he may have been born here - but he has little connection with what Canada is all about.

  I believe Obama is a natural born citizen of the US. It is a requirement under our Constitution that he be a natural born citizen. A Constitutional crisis would have ensued if it had been proved that he was not. The threat of that crisis has prompted several states to seek laws to compel candidates running in that state's primary to provide documentation. Some might consider that problematic.
