Decrying “Sideshows and Carnival Barkers,” President Obama Presents Original Birth Certificate, Hoping to End Conspiracy Nonsense

Now Trump is bragging about this, but I think he looks kind of stupid.

“Just plug the damn hole”

“Pfeiffer said it was :”probably in his long-term political interest to allow this ‘birther’ debate to dominate discussion in the Republican Party for months to come.”
Now that statement makes me even more suspicious of the POTUS than before the certificate was released.
I’m also very suspicious of Trump’s part in this game. I think he’s a foe of the republican party.
The question of whether or not he was born in the US was not a big issue to me, it’s all the other unanswered questions– AND the answered ones about his radical past that are most disturbing.

Be careful for which you wish for Obama, Trump just may turn out to be a viable candidate….The Repubs don’t like him because he is not a Washington politician and cannot be controlled…The Dems would like him because he is not a politician and doesn’t know the game but what the Dems are not getting is the voting American public is tired of the staus quo Washington DC political machine that is failing…..I’m at a point that I will vote for anybody but a Washington politician…Nothing else has worked…

Cue the same forces of idiocy, who will now criticize Mr. Obama for releasing the document that they’ve been screaming for. Same people who howled for intervention in Libya, accused the President of dithering, and then shamelessly and seamlessly pivoted to condemn Mr. Obama for joining the international effort in Libya. Just face it: The hardcore FocksNews media types and their zombies don’t care about America, they only care if it destroys America, they only want to personally attack this President. And I’m GLAD that, for the most part, Mr. Obama ignores those folks.-
And I’m glad he closed Guantanamo and made GE pay taxes too, as well as getting troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh, and releasing Pvt. Manning…

No the president can move on to more important matters! Appearing on Oprah and fundraising…such a serious man!

Open it up in Adobe Illustrator and you’ll see it’s a forged document, not a simple PDF scan of an actual document in a binder.

“We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” he said. “We’ve got better stuff to do.”
Like fundraising!

The sideshow is all Obama and the Democrats know. This is a smoke screen to
take the talking points off the real problems.
Gas and food prices, no jobs program,wars
all over the middle east and our soldiers dieing for a President who said he would
bring them home. And less but not least
the extreme debt this country is in. He avoids
those issues but jumps through the hoops
for a reality TV star.

Okay. We get it. We elected a moderate Republican to the presidency in 2008 so the Republicans have had to appeal to the extremes of their party to differentiate themselves. How much longer do we have to watch this politically straitjacketed base bounce off the walls of their rubber rooms, muttering, “so many mysteries, who is this president, is he a radical, is this a forgery…”?
When do we get to go back to being Americans who take on real problems again?

This birther stuff is just non-sense. Mr. Obama is the one at fault here. Why not just release it two years ago.

The President never misses an opportunity to insult people Recent poll results show that only 38% of Americans thought that Obama is definitely born in the USA. He thinks that everyone else is a “Sideshows and Carnival Barkers”! History shows that President Obama is often wrong but never in doubt!!

The only thing I can give Trump credit for is helping to make many of us remember the 50″s and 60′s and how racism destroyed so many people. Remember the 8 years before president Obama, well if we wake up and try to focus on the improvements maybe Trump will just crawl back in a hole and continue to make money of the taxpayers. There are some legitimate republican candidates out there and I don’t mean Palin I mean really smart people.

I think the larger point of this whole back and forth on Obama’s birthplace is that it COULD have been put to rest a long time ago IF Obama had just shown the ‘long form’ certificate. If anything, HE is the one who has been instigating and dragging it out, and no doubt he has been doing it for political points. Making the comments about the “sideshows and carnival barkers” doesn’t clear the fact that HE could have ended this.
Whatever you think of Trump (and I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of his), you have to acknowledge that once he started digging into this, and the polls started shifting to an increasing number of Americans not so sure about Obama’s birthplace (including Democrats and Independents), suddenly, the long form comes out. In that respect, I guess Trump did the job. Maybe Donald is not as whacky as people think… by forcing Obama’s hand and having the certificate front and center, he not only stops the conversation, he takes away one of Obama’s biggest pieces of ammunition against the non-believers. Now we (and Trump) can move on to more meaty issues to pin Obama on.
Maybe I could become a Trump fan after all.

It is sad that the public can be manipulated by The Donald so easily. It was a very obvious attempt to gather steam in a controversial way. It has been going on for years an shows how much the public officials think about the american public when they use such tactics that marginalize their potential voters. Yuck. If The Donald does run in 2012 it will be fun to see the facts about his not so reputable past come out.

I wouldn’t not have requested the State of Hawaii to release my long form birth certificate until Every member of Congress, Senate and former Presidents released theirs. Never have any “birther” called for these documents as we all know, the birth certificate any past President. I would have told them to kiss where the sun don’t shine, my black arse! RACISM pure and simple.

The President now says his administration is pushing major oil producers to increase oil output in an effort to lower prices. What he really needs is to have someone tell the government of the world’s 3rd largest oil producer to boost output. In case he is unaware, that producer is the United States.
He could do that at his next cabinet meeting by telling EPA to stop holding up Shell’s drilling in Alaska and by telling Secretary Salazar to stop closing access to our nation’s energy supplies, which the Congressional Research Service says are larger than any country on earth.
The President is beginning to look like the Ugly American in his attempts to point the finger of blame anywhere but his record, which includes seeking higher taxes on energy and stopping energy production wherever possible. It requires a suspension of disbelief to accept his protests about higher energy prices when that is his policy. His chickens are coming home to roost.

“We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers…We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” he said. “We’ve got better stuff to do.”
And then Obama and his wife jetted off to Chicago to tape an appearance on…that’s right…Oprah!! Then it’s off to NYC for some more fundraising. Yes he’s very serious about those problems we are facing. Like getting him re-elected!
“During that entire week the dominant news story wasn’t about these huge, monumental choices that we’re going to have to make as a nation,” the president said today. “It was about my birth certificate. And that was true on most of the news outlets that were represented here”
To quote a very prescient Representative, “You Lie!”

Guess that would make the United States Constitution a “non-issue” as well….since they are in the same category…..

As Ari Melber says [The] appeal to birtherism is “part of a larger pattern of rejection of reality” by Republicans, like denying the science of global warming, or believing that “contraception causes abortion.”
It is a putatively non-racial, vaguely constitutional way to challenge the legitimacy of the first black president and appeal to racists without sounding officially racist. Sure, there may be plenty of GOP tenets running counter to reality nowadays, yet none evoke the suppressed fury of the Birthers.”

I’d just like to know why it’s always ‘racist’ when we disagree with anything this president does or says. If I disagree with a white politician no one thinks anything of it. But don’t you dare disagree with this president!

I do not think this is a racism issue. The man originally produced the same birth certificate that I would produce, if asked. To believe every silly conspiracy theory that comes along because you hate his agenda is just ridiculous. If you disagree with his policies (and would rather give tax cuts to the wealthiest of the wealthy and companies like GE), then call the man out on his policies!! Don’t make things up to complain about because it’s a needless distraction and makes you look stupid!

Why is everybody still hating on Obama? He’s already president. The silly debates about where is was born should have been brought up and terminated before he became president. Its like when one stupid thing didn’t work to stop him, they try stupid thing #2. I’m sorry but $58 to fill up my Dodge Neon is a hell of alot more important to me and it should be to everyone else too. Unfortuantely, its the ones with the money that are too busy thinking of ways to bring the president down, that don’t get depressed when their gas light comes on.

“I can’t wait to see Trump’s tax returns!
With the past and pending bankruptcies of his casinos, it should make interesting reading.”

Trump’s financial background is well known. Actually, many of us here would be much more interested in seeing YOUR tax returns. We’re curious if someone who obsesses so much about the wealthy paying their fair share of federal income taxes pays her own fair share of taxes (or even receives credits beyond what she pays in).

Do you people really think that these forms can not be made to read whatever the wight house wants them to read? I mean as a disabled american along with all our retired americans wonder why the pres. decided to not give the little cost of living rais we should get each year, saying there has been know cost of living yet i can no longer fill up my gas tank. I myself understand that the pres. that now has a low approvel rating could easly have a form falsifyed to fit his needs, now any of you out there that don’t belive this just go and look at all the fake id’s, passports and hundreds of other forms made eash year and then stand and say his birth records have to be real just because someone printed them. It is sad that this has to be part of life but do we want to just trust because he’s the pres. i mean how stupid would that be, we can not let an outsider be our pres. just because it takes time to prove one way or another, i mean i would show mine with out making the fine, no the great people of our country make me, makes you wounder if it just took this long for him to make a fake one. Well know matter what happens we as a nation need to step up and pull our ass’s out of this mess our goverment has put us in, america were great now lets remind the world of this, god bless america.

Good job, Obama! You finally produced the original birth certificate that you said you already made available and also said wasn’t available. Not only did you not produce it until now, it’s been available this whole time. Since you agree this was a “sideshow” and a “distraction,” why did you maintain this charade for 3 years before you finally decided to release it? Did your “birther” sideshow finally blow up in your face and start to work against you? Thanks for providing the proof the American people deserved all along. Maybe next time you won’t take 3 years to be honest. What a joke!

SEAN: “65% of AMERICANS believe he was born elsewhere”
Now that he’s released his original birth certificate, I’d expect that number to go down. He should have done it 3 years ago rather than persist this silly charade. What a joke!

I realize this post is old, but, the evidence against Obama far outweighs any evidence he’s put forth. That being, two forged COLB’s, a Social security number not assigned to him, and a forged selective services registration. He can’t even pass E-verify. It’s time for a criminal investigation, and that includes congress for conspiring to cover this up. Shame on the main stream media, this is the biggest news story and they’re silent.
