Trump and his hair is taking credit for this release. How very magnanimous of him.

Trumps holding a press conference now. He's congratulating himself on forcing the president into doing something.

I can't say I really disagree with the credit trump is taking. The WH shouldn't have caved. He probab ly was the impetus for obama finally releasing it.

Donald Trump gets results!

FUCK HIM. It's on HLN

edit : what an ignorant asshat, " I did answer your question!"

NO he didn't

 

[John Dunbar]

You assume the Teabaggers won't come up with something even more vile and racist, like "Obama raped a white woman in 1958" or "Obama was born with AIDS"

To be fair, has Obama ever denied raping a white woman in 1958?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

From the birther Facebook pages, it looks like the focus is now on Obama's father. They want to see his student visa. They think he might have been in the country illegally.

However, that isn't a requirement for presidency, so why bother...

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Shameful.

Not only has his birth certificate been shown and verified in the past but his birth was announced in the local newspaper at the time.

[birther]

Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a Birth Certificate!

[/birther]

when you're crazy, evidence isn't needed.

 

[Patryn]

Obama should have waited until a birther republican candidate goes against him. He could have made the republican candidate lose some of not all credibility.

I have little doubt that at this point Birthers will still claim that this is a trick and that it doesn't prove anything.

It's like the whole vaccine thing. After that study got retracted by the journal that published it, and the Doctor lost his medical license due to how shoddily he conducted the study, people still defend him and claim it's a conspiracy.

If you spend all your time believing something that HARD, there's almost literally nothing that will change your mind.

 

[Mario]

also an atheist

"it was fun guys"

Being an atheist would be far more shocking I'm sure and is actually far more likely too.

Trumps response right now on TV "I've accomplished something nobody else could".

 

[daviyoung]

I didn't know his father had the same name. His parents are lulz though. The fathers name was Barack Hussein Obama and they decided to keep all 3 of those names? Really? lol I guess they wanted him to be unique in America or something?

No worse than Cletus Billybob Herb Jnr III as far as American names go

 

[Kosmo]

Donald Trump gets results!

If Trump can get this out in a few weeks after nobody could for 3 years, imagine what he'll do to OPEC and the Chinese - at least I assume this is where it's going.

lol now that's funny as hell. I'm waiting for someone to ask for a DNA sample to make sure he is really human.

 

[Pathetic Basement Virgin]

So this is where our shitty game covers started?

 

[Retro]

Obama has Time Machine confirmed.

Also, I am seriously gnawing at my hat that nobody called Trump taking credit for this. Growl, how did they not see that coming? Of course the giant douchebag is going to say this was all thanks to him.

 

[Gaborn]

Can we finally please stop indulging the idiot conspiracy theorists then? At this point I don't really care about them, even if a portion won't shut up about it surely the media can find other stories to talk about.

 

[Magni]

okay, now how about releasing evidence that he isn't a Manchurian candidate and crypto-muslim seeking to destroy America's Christian greatness from within?

I feel stupid after reading that first link (didn't even bother with the second).

 

[spiderman123]

it will never stop


edit: AHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT AT HIS OIL ARGUMENT ...KUWAIT

 

[scorcho]

can't help but think this was a completely dumb political move on the part of the WH. i'd rather let the 'controversy' linger and let the GOP establishment figure out how to manage it as a topic during the primaries.

 

[LCfiner]

it's been said before but, damn, it's embarrassing that it even got this far. releasing this to try to shut up fringe lunatics and racists in the country.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Thank god. Now the birther idiots will shut the hell up. They did nothing but make conservatives (which I am one) look bad.

 

[Angry Fork]

Being an atheist would be far more shocking I'm sure and is actually far more likely too.

Trumps response right now on TV "I've accomplished something nobody else could".

I wouldn't be surprised if a large amount of presidents were closet athiests. I refuse to believe such a high power could be held by someone that believes in blind faith. I can't wait until the day (if it ever will come) when a middle eastern, non-married, female, athiest is US president.

 

[giga]

Wow.

 

[Barrett2]

Thank god. Now the birther idiots will shut the hell up. They did nothing but make conservatives (which I am one) look bad.

I'm pretty sure they'll just put on a different tinfoil hat. The kind of person who believed that shit to begin with probably has a lot of other interesting political views they are harboring.

lol good luck with that

 

[JayDubya]

Sensible conservatives already expected this was a non-starter, and now (most of) the rest will shut up, so great.

 

[Dead Man]

I don't think this is really going to convince anyone who wasn't already convinced.

 

[Kosmo]

Wow.

[water_wendi]

i hate all these new boring conspiracy theories. They are so not fun. Why couldnt Obama been a Reptilian instead of a supposed Kenyan? Now thats fun. And best of all its impossible to disprove.

 

[jamieson87]

Call me stupid but why does the pdf link below look like it was taken from snopes messageboard??

http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate.pdf

Image url leads here -

Maybe I am being dense but why is the official White House blog using a scan from Snopes?

Edit - I need to learn to read.

 

[spiderman123]

Jesus now he attacking his student credentials

 

[Barrett2]

Now conservatives can focus on the REAL issues, like whether Obama is secretly implementing a system of Sharia law across our once proud nation, etc.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Oh snap, Trump gets shit done!!!! =)

As one of few conservatives on Gaf, I am thrilled this nonsense is over. Birthers were the conservative version of 911 Truthers, and it was EMBARRASSING.

Though, the absolute trolling of the left with McCain being sworn in as the real President would almost be worth it for teh lulz.

 

[smurfx]

can't help but think this was a completely dumb political move on the part of the WH. i'd rather let the 'controversy' linger and let the GOP establishment figure out how to manage it as a topic during the primaries.

those birthers won't likely let go of this issue and will probably go crazier with their conspiracy theories. only people that will have to deal with them now are republican politicians since those nuts are the ones voting for them.

 

[LosDaddie]

Another dumb move by Obama. There was no need for him to do this.

It was never about his birth certificate for the idiots (and we have a few here on GAF :lol ) who are Birthers. It was about them not accepting him as the President of the USA.

It's better to give the idiot Birthers enough rope to hand themselves with, than take the rope away

 

[Calcaneus]

Keep on bowing to the whims of the crazies.

Like this will shut them up anyways.

 

[iapetus]

I feel stupid after reading that first link (didn't even bother with the second).

Was that before or after the point when it claimed Obama's father was an atheist Muslim?

 

[theignoramus]

My guess is that it's also in response to the push for several states about this whole "You must show your birth certificate in order to run for President" nonsense. I know that Michigan (my old home state) just introduced one of them. Odds are that if one state passed them, they'd refuse anything but this for whatever reason.

Not for this "birther" nonsense, no. It had nothing to do with Obama. /Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.



Not at all. Anyone with reason in their head knows that Trump will never run, because he'll never be willing to release his financials. He doesn't want people to know that he's worth nothing close to what he presents himself as being worth.

people like Trump frame the parameters of discussion, it doesnt matter that he may or may not run.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Jesus now he attacking his student credentials

That's Trump for you. I really can't stand him. He's just doing all this shit to promote his show. That's all he's doing. Hence why he's name dropped it a couple of times already in this press conference.

I agree. Didn't the birther thing make Bams look good to independents because it made conservatives looks so nutty by comparison?

 

[mightynine]

If anyone thinks this will shut the birthers up, they are sadly mistaken.

 

[Stumpokapow]

As opposed to:

do you think both are absurd or neither?

it makes no sense to try to run an equivalence defence if you can't decide if you're defending both or attacking both.

 

[scorcho]

Now release your college records you d#($ punk. The guy has spent millions to hide his college history, I don't put it past him that this is not a legitimate Birth Certificate. I don't believe it, he's been silent on the the issue. I believe to my core, this is a falcified record.

That's it? No questions about why he presented a fake one before? Why not show it online? Where are the experts can validate it? Remember when the Clintons refused for two years to release their financial records stolen from Vince Fosters office after he was suicided? If you are creating a fake, it takes time to age the ink and document to appear old. If it was real, why didn't he keep his $2,000,000.00 and release it before? Obama lies continue.

It's not a Birth Certificate, but that same old certification of live birth. I read a lengthy news report about how, after Obama's trip to Hawaii a few months ago, the Hawaii Governor decided that, once and for all, he would have records dug into, to come up with a birth certificate for Obama. The result, according to that lengthy report: NOTHING was found.

Obama never stops lying. Remember the lies about stopping wage increases and bonuses for those AIG and other criminals, then has the temerity to announce that those things won't be stopped because, after all, "those business leaders are the best America has." In other words, Obama thinks liars and cheats are "the best." He lied and bribed regarding the healthcare plan. But lefties kept trying to quash any effort on the part of conservatives who were attempting to get out the word about that socialist piece of anti-American legislation. Why isn't there anyone with the courage to stand up and demand his impeachment.

btw, why the fuck is Trump still on TV?

 

[Witchfinder General]

"BREAKING! Despite birth certificate Obama still believed to be a Keynesian!"

Spoiler

Let's see if anyone gets the joke

 

[Earthstrike]

This could always be a part of a long term strategy to associate republicanism with people who are morons. If you're young and you see the birth certificate, and listen to the crazies say its forged and all this stuff, they may come to see that party as the "stupid" party and thus be democratic.

 

[Patryn]

He should have released this on Friday just to fuck with the news as their heads exploded trying to simultaneously cover this and the Royal Wedding.

 

[Dali]

5 minutes until our kenyan overlord president tells us bold faced lies to hide his secret muslimism. Did you know he hasn't made a proclamation on easter since he's been in office?

 

[Cereal KiIIer]

Coming up next: GOP suggest independence of Hawaii to force Obama resignation.
