1. It will shut up a sub-set of people who you might have classified as Birthers
Of course it won't satisfy all of them, but it will tend to marginalize hard-core conspiracy theorist Birthers.

11. Exactly. And in what is becoming a numbers game, this is important. I
do not see ANY downside for Obama in releasing his Certificate of Live Birth.

2. White House releases original Obama birth certificate
By the CNN Wire Staff
April 27, 2011 9:39 a.m. EDT


Washington (CNN) -- The Obama administration is releasing copies of President Barack Obama's original long-form birth certificate, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer announced Wednesday.

Obama will discuss the decision to release the certificate Wednesday morning, the White House announced.

"The president believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn't good for the country," 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."

"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, DC, was once again distracted by a fake issue," Pfeiffer added. "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."

Pfeiffer told reporters that the so-called "birther debate" has been politically damaging to the Republican Party.

Obama released a legally binding "certificate of live birth" in 2008, but many opponents of the president continue to assert he was born overseas.

4. Maybe , but knowing them and Trump...
Like Ed Henry said last night, now they'll start questioning signatures and whether they're real.
The White House said this is why they decided against it at first, it would lead to more consiracy
theorists. Time will tell.
What's The Donald saying now ?

5. Just read Trump said...
He wants to see it for himself to verify it's real. He asked;
"it is rather amazing that all of the sudden" the document surfaces. He suggested it should be inspected to ensure its authenticity.

6. "Is this allowing Donald Trump to drive the agenda?"
No... of course not. What a question! It makes him look stupid.


I did like the stuff about allowing Repugs to hang themselves with the stupid fake controversy.... but 8 minutes on this? It's still a non-story... or at least a 30 second story.

10. It is obvious that Trump is a pathological liar
I am amazed that people take his words as if they were serious.

9. FAKE!!
Barack Obama was born in Sweden. It’s perfectly obvious he was born in Stockholm. Okay, maybe Brussels or Strasbourg. Barack Obama, the first European Prime Minister to be elected President of the United States.

Government stormtroopers have dispatched their brownshirts to help them give all our first-born children to the North Koreans. I'm not saying Obama is Hitler, but don't you find it interesting that members of his Swedish secret police force are forging a secret plot to take over America once they create a national security crisis, which they will use as a smokescreen to seize dictatorial power.

We must take our country back from the godless socialists who are building a secret Swedish army to enforce their plan to steal your organs and leave you lying unconscious in a bathtub. Because Obama is a crypto-Muslim-viking socialistic communist it is reasonable to assume that his oligarchs are releasing flying monkeys as we speak to help them blow up more offshore rigs and try to blame it on the oil companies, just like they did in the Gulf of Mexico!

They are coming for us. We are all BP now. The Obamanazis occupying the White House are pushing their extremist agenda to require every man, woman, and child to gay-marry a same-sex partner, specially chosen by a government matrimony panel. The goons at the Service Employees International Union are enlisting the aliens from Area 51 so they can enslave you in FEMA camps. They are coming for you. You're on the list. Everyone is on the list.

13. I think the reporter that was saying.....
Trump was "wrong", should have used harsher words and said Trump was lying, because, as he was pointing out, Trump told Anderson Cooper that the birth certificate was missing, which is, with the release of the long-form, now proven to be a flat out lie from Trump. I hope the people listening to this report will clearly see that Trumps was LYING, and not just "wrong".

15. *Breaking News* "Obama born in Honolulu"
Obviously the Obama team held the birth certificate until it could REALLY be used to deflate the Biggest Birther to come along...The Donald, and therefore get the most traction with it.

I would be :rofl: if I weren't :cry: at the stupidity and distraction of this whole birther BS.

:thumbsup: for good timing!

Hey Birthers, Get A Life.
