This has been a big enough issue that it probably deserves its own thread. The White House has released Obama's long form birth certificate: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf I saw this link as a "Breaking News" headline on an MSNBC.com site story and there was no commentary on it and this doesn't seem to have more info than the short form so I have some skepticism about this, just this document not that Obama was born in the HI.
Just to add I doubt this will put completely silence birthers and personally I think this was a weak political move on the part of the Admin. as it shows that they were bothered enough by the birther movement that they had to go through with this. That said I would like Thumbs' money now.
Birthers=braindead. This ain't gonna do ****. They are going to continue spewing nonsense like donkeys. They are braindead.
Just heard on NPR that Obama has said that the issue of his birth has become a distracting side show so he has moved to get his birth certificate released. So this is the real deal. One thing I don't understand is that HI law had forbidden the release of the long form, but I guess as President he can do it. Still a weak move in my opinion.
Agreed. Weaksauce. The birther thing was funny, and this will accomplish NOTHING. Will the birther morons shutup now? Highly unlikely. Will the birther morons suddenly support Obama? Virtually impossible. Dumb move is dumb.
Why are there so many people focusing on this stupid issue? If you don't like OBama or don't agree with him fine, but trying to prove he is not born in the US is just plain stupid and nuts.
Faked it, need more authentic real certificate, still born in Kenya. Agree with above posters, birthers would never shut up anyways, shouldn't have fed the trolls.
It is not dumb at all, for the birthers (as you say) will continue to spread thier falsehoods though they have been proven wrong. The only thing that is dumb about this is the birthers.
Absolutely pathetic that it had to come to this. Birthers- what a stupid a** name to begin with. Oh, of course they'll take credit for it, especially Mr. Trump. As if it was ever any kind of issue to take credit for in the first place. So much stupidity floating around. Mr. Trump can s**k it. Anyone that calls Robert DeNiro stupid because he's reserved in interviews is a true moron. DeNiro's legacy is set forever, and Trump has let his sideshow overtake his accomplishments (I actually like The Apprentice). Poor Donald got Trumped.
shame on more than half the nation voting for a man not even born here.....Damn Folks must've been really mad at Bush!!!
I agree with this, but I wish he had waited until the meat of the campaign to make them look like idiots.
seems at odds with his columbia transcript, which has now been released as well: spoilered for large pic: Spoiler i really don't see what all the fuss was about, he had a decent GPA.
Obama is such a joke. If he was going to release this, he should have done this a long time ago. Otherwise he should have just held his ground on the issue. All this does is makes him look very weak. Your president just caved to Trump and the birthers......congrats.
lol thats one way of good trolling way of thinking about it. so you were happy that our american society is so perverted that he had to show the long form of his birth certificate to get 43% of americans to believe reality?
