This is how a strong leader addresses a distracting conspiracy theory that simply will NOT die. Update!



And here is the birth certificate, courtesy of Andrew Sullivan, for all of you Birthers who simply must see it with your own eyes.


Well that is that!  Next?

Update: Fox News is going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the harsh light of reality.


And yet all Sarah Palin has to do is SAY she gave birth to her son on April 18, 2008, and not ONE mainstream journalist will dare to even express concern that she might not be telling the truth.  So WHO is it that does not get fair treatment from the press?

    President Obama, a great American Leader, and a shining star that inspires us daily. He surely was raised right by his family and he is so compassionate and always takes the high road.

    Let's all contribute to his campaign.

    Beautiful, although I wanted the birther nonsense to continue so that all the idiots who profess to know that he was born in Kenya, including Trump, Palin, and the legislators from Arizona, would keep on this issue. He could then drop this on them much later in the game.

    They must feel pretty foolish now, although I don't think that feeling foolish is in their makeup. Most likely the charge will be that it is a forgery.

  11. I was kind of hoping Obama would rise above all this and not release it, but maybe he did it to prove a point that even after he does this, teh crazies just go and find something else to look at, like Trumpie is doing by saying Obama couldn't have gotten in to college without the help of Affirmative Action, or that (and I got this one from the Daily Kos) Obama was adopted, thus he gave up his US citizenship.

  13. All Trumpty Dumpty has left to run on are his spurious claims about the President'­s education. He and Buchanan would like to chalk Obama's success up to the workings of Affirmativ­e Action. Even if that were the case, it is a legitimate honorable program that I respect far more than the 'legacy' benefits given to a few of the trust funders who got in without proving their mettle.

    Trump, Hannity, Buchanan and the rest of the unreconstr­ucted bores in the political arena may want to continue relitigati­ng the Civil War but they will eventually discover that the average, respectabl­e and respecful American has moved onward, upward and beyond.

    Thank you, President Obama. I am going to contribute to your re-election campaign today. I appreciate that you take the high road. I'm sorry our country has so many stupid racists in it. It always did, but Sarah Palin and John McCain (and the Kochs and Murdoch and Ailes) gave them permission to express it in public. The "shame" went away. Let's bring back the "shame" for those who flaunt stupidity.

    OH, and by the way, although I have 4 degrees, I do not equate IQ with education. Some of my smart ancestors did not go to college, either. But they were not as dumb as the Palin family, nor the Trump family...

    Obama went to EXTRAORDIN­ARY lengths by applying for a special waiver from the state of Hawaii in order to do this.

    He was never ABLE to apply for a waiver before.

    NOW ....will the media give TRUMP the same scrutiny over every document in his life?/

    Will "experts" examine HIS birth certificat­e?

    Will they examine ALL of his marriage licences, certificat­es AND divorce decrees??

    Will they examine ALL of his bankruptcy filings and outcomes??

    It actually looks like the State of Hawaii is the one who blinked first. CBS News showed a letter, dated 2008, in which the Obama campaign requested the "long form" but was sent the standard form currently in use. And where does it say "Muslim" again?

    I'm wondering if this isn't some sort of cover for the Boner and his not-quite-so-nutty fellow Republicans. They're really backed into a corner with the Teabaggers. With Obama acting like the Grownup in the Room AGAIN, this gives the House leaders the perfect cover to say "please, we have important work to do."

    Orly Taitz on the birth certificate:

    "Look, I applaud this release. I think it's a step in the right direction," so-called "birther queen" Orly Taitz told me in one of her many media interviews this morning. "I credit Donald Trump in pushing this issue."

    But she still has her suspicions. Specifically, Taitz thinks that the birth certificate should peg Obama's race as "Negro" and not "African."

    "In those years ... when they wrote race, they were writing 'Negro' not 'African'," Taitz says. "In those days nobody wrote African as a race, it just wasn't one of the options. It sounds like it would be written today, in the age of political correctness, and not in 1961 when they wrote white or Asian or 'Negro'

    The President's statement has shifted these idiots into overdrive. The basic problem for some is that the President is not white. For others is that he is representing the Union, and they still wish the Confederacy had won. Then they wouldn't be having to 'Take back their country'.

    From Public Policy Polling:

    Many still fighting the Civil War...
    The Civil War may have come to a close almost 150 years ago but Republicans in three Southern states still aren't sure its outcome was a good thing. Less than half of GOP voters in Georgia, North Carolina, and Mississippi are glad that the North won the Civil War:

    Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin see a conspiracy in Obama birth certificate release

    ... Indeed, just minutes after the White House released the form two leading conservatives were questioning the timing of the release, suggesting that yet another conspiracy might be in place. Both Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck argued that Obama did not release his long-form certificate to do away with a “silly” national conversation, but instead to distract from the testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke today.

    According the Beck, Obama has been waiting with his birth certificate all this time just to be able to release it as a distraction from the testimony of Bernanke.

    Actually, Obama Just Pulled A Brilliant Political Move Right Before Your Eyes

    Our initial thinking was in line with everyone else's. Obama made a mistake by taking the birther issue off the table, and giving a big "win" to Donald trump.
    But actually this was the right move.

    Obama would love to go mano a mano with someone like Trump in the general election.

    Think how sick to his stomach Mitt Romney must have been, watching Trump gloat and declare victory, and then get a huge uninterrupted press conference talking about his China and Libya policies.

    Obama didn't end the craziness. He elevated the crazies.

    "Well that is that! Next?"

    Unlikely that "that is that".
    The birth certificate issue is a useful tool. Besides, they will pick this one apart and label it phony as well. And, they will move on to other things to harass and distract--his college records, finances, etc. It won't stop. The whole game is to smear him, and the insisting for other "proof" of who he is will continue. In one respect, it's good that he released it (that makes 2 now). The downside is that it will be used to open more flood gates. Trump is out there courtesy of Smear Obama, Inc., and is a distraction as well. Focusing on Trump, (rather than the obtuse harpy and all of her tons of negative baggage) helps the birther/smear cause and keeps it up and running strong.

    As to the baby scam, there probably will never be a birth certificate shown, and considering what a shady bimbo SP is, who'd believe ANYTHING she would come up with ? ? ?

    It is doubtful the birthers will stop their crap.

    An insider told the Enquirer: 'When Bristol told Sarah that she is thinking of supporting gay marriage and doesn't believe religion should have anything to do with equal rights for all, Sarah began fuming.

    '[She] told her she better never go public with that thought, fearing it would hurt her political career.'

    That seems to have been the final straw for Bristol, who has already begun to reveal her more liberal stance on her Twitter page, making complimentary references to singer and gay-rights activist Pink.

    According to the insider: 'Bristol told her mother that she's a grown woman who makes her own living and is free to believe what she wants.

    'If Sarah doesn't accept her, she isn't welcome in her home.'

    I don't say that because I'm a racist or anything like that, I say it because he's an African American person and we all know how most African Americans behave don't we! If he was a pure white person it wouldn't matter all that much but under the circumstances....

    Producing what is 'supposed' to be his birth certificate now is very suspicious. Now regardless of what Trump has to say, I want to see the birth certificate analzyed to make sure it's not a forgery. Until it is I'm going to suspect Obama was born in Kenya.

    I have to say, I'm almost sad to see the issue be resolved (and it still may not be for the birthers). I liked the idea that birthers have revealed the repugs and their ilk, as know nothing, mouth breathing racists.

    Alas, there are, in fact so many more issues for them to be called out for, but this epitomizes their lack of IQ in general, but specifically, their political IQ. How do you get elected while dragging your knuckles?.....oh wait, 'W' made it in didn't he.

    President Obama did not take any questions and did not say why the document had not been released earlier.

    Well, let me take a stab... No one would have questioned his birth if he had not been half black. So why should Obama be forced into producing more documentation than would have been required of any full white candidate? It was an insulting, disrespectful, and racist request. Only because the issue kept growing into an actual distraction of presidential duties, did he release the extra data.

    Now, go back under your rocks, racists.

  78. I wish the press would use the journalistic standards for qualifying language when it's appropriate.

    Like: Sarah Palin's ALLEGED pregnancy; Sarah Palin CLAIMS to have $500K in legal bills related to ethics claims; Sarah Palin SAYS her oldest son is a combat veteran; Todd Palin MAY have built his house by himself; Sarah Palin MAY be the reincarnation of Tomas de Torquemada.

    I don't understand Trump's victory-? He called the president a liar, asked him for proof he thought didn't exist and the prez came back with the PROOF.

    How is that a victory for Trump?? Sounds like that's a great big FAIL to me.

    On election night 2008 I was so proud to be an American. I have complete trust in and respect for President Obama. But, with the behavior of the Republican Party since the inauguration in 2009 I have begun to feel real shame about this country. Because the Republican Party leadership did nothing to quell the thinly-veiled racist "birther" nonsense in the beginning, Republican leaders show themselves to be racists themselves. How pathetic - in the twenty-first century. Surely they should have evolved by now. I predict that this racist nonsense will go on and on and the press will continue to foment it because that is what the Republican Party wants.

    The press needs to get on Donald Trump, but good. They need to start examining his records as well - tax, school, whatever else.

    Will they do this?

    If they don't, it just shows the MSM in particular loves a sensational figure, but they could care less about substance and depth.

    Curiouser @12:52pm, I couldn't agree more. The media is guilty of making pseudo-facts of the crap that spews uncontrollably from the Quitter's tattooed lips. Instead, the media should be treating everything she says as possible lies and outrageous exaggerations. Better still, the media should ignore her completely. She's nearly played herself out.

  86. They will just respin the story and say they faked the birth certificat. It has been increasingly more obvious they can't admit when they are wrong. President Obama should say to Palin, that he showed his, now she should show hers.

    The Right is comparing the Birthers to the Trig Truthers. Well, the Right got to see Obama's birth certificate. Let's pressure the egomaniac Trump who claims to have made it happen pressure Sarah now!

    Campaign to get it happen everyone.

    Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but my takeaway from Obama's message is: SHIT IS FUCKED UP. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO OFFER, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY AND LET THE ADULTS TAKE OVER.

    I mean, seriously. Climate change is leveling countries, flooding American towns, and drying up the food supply. A bunch of crazy psychopaths are gambling on anything and everything on Wall Street, and companies are now issuing furtive Dead Peasant life insurance policies on underpaid and overworked surfs. We're getting left in the dust by China and India, we're in three wars, and the most visible leader in the opposition party is calling for an economic plan based on a potato flour donut shop and cutting off senior access to healthcare while we're at it. Talking heads are screaming that an American president isn't American.

    Obama, I'm sorry. Your country needs you, but I'm not sure they deserve you.

    Are you truly this stupid? The long form birth certificate can be analyzed from here to dooms day and will not prove that it is the original from 1961.

    Original birth certificates are not released in any state. This is a printed copy of the original.

    God, I really feel sorry for people like you who are so intellectually lacking that you would make such a stupid statement.

    Are you so hard up that you would waste your time trolling for the few pennies ypu are paid to troll? Find another way to make a living.

    So sad.

    Right now, I am watching Lawrence O'Donnell's heated exchange with the wackjob known as Orly Taitz. Like a lot of other birthers, she absolutely refuses to address the fact that this birth certificate is valid. She kept insisting on some documents she claimed support her birther nonsense. O'Donnell was trying to get her to acknowledge that she had been wrong and to apologize. It didn't take him long to get tired of this fool and insist that she be taken off. He correctly called her crazy. There were a couple of other kooks on Hardball, one of whom was Judson Phillips of the Tea Party while the other was a politician from Arizona who was one of the sponsors of the vetoed bill there. It seemed to be painful for them to have to admit the truth, especially since Phillips had uttered a statement to the effect that it MIGHT be a fake. Of course, blowhard Trump with a perpetual case of bad hair days tried to take credit for this revelation, not realizing what a fool he made of himself.

    I like the way the president handled this, and he is such a positive contrast to McCain, a man 25 years his senior and known to be hotheaded and impulsive. He is right about the need for us to move on and solve our many problems in this country.

    Mark my words, the birther assholes will not accept this. This was NEVER about paperwork. This is about the color of the president's skin. Why would a fucking racist cousin humping lowlife care about which form was presented?

    Now it will be some other bullshit excuse to question Obama's validity. It won't make a fucking bit of sense, but when have their objections EVER made any sense? These cretinous yahoos have more toes than teeth. They could give a fat rat's ass about which form you present.
