Obama releases his 'real' birth certificate. Shuts up Trump. - Polidicks

[release]Washington (CNN) -- The White House released copies of President Barack Obama's original long-form birth certificate Wednesday, seeking to put an end to persistent rumors that he was not born in the United States. [b]"We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama told reporters at the White House. "Normally I would not comment on something like this," the president said. But the country has "enormous challenges" that it will not be able to effectively meet "if we're distracted." The president ripped what he characterized as a recent focus on "side shows" and "carnival barkers."[/b] Trump to vet Obama's birth certificate Obama shows original birth certificate Tuchman: 'Trump is wrong' Obama released a shorter, legally binding "certificate of live birth" in 2008, but many opponents of the president continued to assert he was born overseas. The administration had to make a special request from the state of Hawaii to get the long-form birth certificate released, White House legal counsel Bob Bauer said. Typically, the state only releases what's called a certificate of live birth when people request a birth certificate. While the president has tried to make light of the controversy, the question has remained political red meat for some of his critics. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll showed that nearly 75% of Americans believe Obama was definitely or probably born in the United States. More than four in 10 Republicans, however, believe he probably or definitely was not born in America. [b]The U.S. Constitution says only "natural born" citizens can become president -- a vague clause that some members of the "birther" movement contend disqualifies Obama from the presidency, since they believe he was born overseas.[/b] "The president believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn't good for the country," White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said. "It may have been good politics and good (television), but it was bad for the American people and distracting from the many challenges we face as a country. [b]"At a time of great consequence for this country -- when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East, Washington, D.C., was once again distracted by a fake issue," Pfeiffer said. "The president's hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country."[/b] Pfeiffer told reporters that the so-called "birther debate" has been politically damaging to the Republican Party. Skeptics contend, among other things, that Obama was born in his father's home country of Kenya. Potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump recently seized on the issue, saying he had doubts about Obama's background. [b]Following the White House's release of the long-form birth certificate, Trump told reporters in New Hampshire Wednesday morning that he is "very proud" of himself for helping to bring about the release of the document. "I've accomplished something nobody else was able to accomplish," Trump said. "I'd want to look at (the birth certificate), but I hope it's true so that we can get on to much more important matters." Obama "should have (released the certificate) a long, long time ago," he said.[/b] Trump, a billionaire business tycoon and reality television star, blamed the media for repeatedly bringing up the issue. Trump, however, has frequently raised questions about Obama's birthplace during his climb in recent GOP primary polls. Allegations that Obama was not born in the United States have been repeatedly discredited. A recent CNN investigation turned up no evidence to support the birther claims.[/release] [img]http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/POLITICS/04/27/obama.birth.certificate/t1larg.obama.live.birth.wh.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/04/27/obama.birth.certificate/[/url] Hawaii is a state. Obama was born in Hawaii. According to the 14th Amendment, he is a naturalized citizen upon birth. John McCain was born in a Naval Air Station along the Panama Canal, a U.S. territory, not a state of the Union. He would have to become naturalized once he emigrated to the U.S. and would not have been eligible for presidency. What the fuck why do we have these people on our lands.

Alright, Obama! :buddy:

May shut up Trump, but sure as hell ain't gonna shut up those stupid conspiracy theorists...

well that wasnt so hard now was it brobama

John McCain isn't eligible for president? Then why the hell was he around to run... Stupid Republicans breaking their own rules

lol his mom was 18

Nothing short of high explosives will shut up the Trumptard.

Won't shut any of the hardcore right wing nuts up They'll still cling on to the idea that he was born in kenya

trump is like beck but with more money to speak louder

He's almost 50? Damn, i thought he was younger

Why is Obama the only president that people don't think was born here? What possible reasoning could these retards have?

[QUOTE=c0nk3r;29465111]well that wasnt so hard now was it brobama[/QUOTE] He already showed his birth certificate WAY before this incident with Trump happened and morons still refused to believe it.

Shit I don't really like the guy, but I don't see how just saying LOL HE AR KENYA solves anything.

People born in them are born in the United States and are thus not restricted from running for president.

[QUOTE=c0nk3r;29465117]lol his mom was 18[/QUOTE] i'm sure daddy liked her running off with the black folk.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;29465150]Why is Obama the only president that people don't think was born here? What possible reasoning could these retards have?[/QUOTE] because he's not white

and the middle name obviously means hes a terrorist :downs:

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;29465150]Why is Obama the only president that people don't think was born here? What possible reasoning could these retards have?[/QUOTE] He's black. Seriously, that is reason. They can deny it, but it's painfully obvious.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;29465150]Why is Obama the only president that people don't think was born here? What possible reasoning could these retards have?[/QUOTE] Its because of his name. Barrack Hussein Obama, sounds something foreign right? And all it takes if for a few idiotic Republicans to spread belief that he's a non-american who is also a terrorist and is trying to drive America to the ground. Correct me if I am wrong, but its still idiotic.

ITS FAKE! His parents knew when he was born he would eventully become president so they had it phonyed.

we need a gif of donald trump going "didn't read lol"

Obama should never have had to do this. Trump is a massive cunt.

I thought he showed his birth certificate ages ago

Shouldn't have released it to be honest, just because some go around screaming that he's not born in the US. Plus releasing it after 3 years won't shut them up at all, they'll just say it's fake and that's why it took 3 years (it's definitely not impossible to fake one, but that doesn't mean it is faked and why the fuck does one care as long as he's a good president).

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;29465479]I thought he showed his birth certificate ages ago[/QUOTE] He apparently showed the short version (which is from what I have heard, enough proof to prove your identity for most things in the US) that had been printed out from a computer. This is the longer (original) birth certificate.

[QUOTE=acds;29465491] why the fuck does one care as long as he's a good president).[/QUOTE] rules.

He should have just released the full thing way back so we wouldn't be dealing with this shit to begin with.

[QUOTE=zombieslaya;29465647]He should have just released the full thing way back so we wouldn't be dealing with this shit to begin with.[/QUOTE] we shouldn't be dealing with dumb shit because of dumb shit people that complain and come up with dumb shit theories
