Barack Obama opened last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner – an annual chuckle-fest with D.C. reporters and pop culture celebrities – with a pair of jokes and a wink about his supposed Hawaii birthplace.
He began with more veiled joke alluding to April 28 of last year, when the White House released to the press a copy of his purported long-form birth certificate, a move prompted in part by calls from Donald Trump to see evidence of Obama’s eligibility to be president.
“My fellow Americans, we gather during a historic anniversary,” Obama said. “Last year at this time, in fact on this very weekend, we finally delivered justice to one of the world’s most notorious individuals.”
Video screens in the room then flashed a photo of Trump.
Obama then explained he was advised to “reintroduce himself” to America.
“My name is Barack Obama. My mother was born in Kansas. My father was born in Kenya. And I was born, of course,” the sitting president said with a mischievous, knowing wink, “in Hawaii.”

Barry knows the posse is coming for him!

Barry’s Year of Living Dangerously continues...with more humiliation of Trump and taunting of constitutionalists...
Compliment. Bam doesn’t complement anything. (He seldom compliments, either.)
Regardless of whether or not he was born in Hawaii, his father was never a US citizen.
Today, it might be better phrased with ...
There goes the nation.
If he’s not worried about it then why make joles. Seems he’s a bit more concerned then he would have us believe.
I sincerely hope that he’s terrified of losing and walking out of the WWH straight into handcuffs.
we got him
I meant “jokes”.
As was the plan all along, you are assuming you know whom was his father. So far, there is no solid proof of that reality.Ayers wrote his ‘autobiographies’, and we know what Billy the Bomber is, and we have watched now for more than four years as little barry bastard commie has lied openly to the world, so why would we accept the unsubstantiated assertion that an African exchange student was little bastard’s father? ... Look in High School Year Books from around the Seattle area, for from 1959 to 1061 and see if you can find a better match, I say. I don’t beleieve anything about this sonofabitch in the Oval Office, except that he is there.
It's all just a joke to him. But some of us still care.
ML/NJ
Is he still a citizen of Indonesia? Was he a foreign student?
Just another opportunity for this narcissist to talk about himself.
Obama is defending himself by these comments, not doubling down. It is interesting to note that Obama had to produce the long form of birth certificate (which the press said didn't exist) after Trump pressured him. Albeit, the long form is just as much a forgery as the short form, but he did produce another document.
The joke is on us, America, and it ain’t funny.
Please fix the spelling of the intended word “compliment” in the thread title, if convenient...
The joke is on the American people. While the smiling and winking Marxist makes jokes about his radical agenda and being born in Kenya, the elites and idiot celebrities in attendance laugh and congratulate themselves for being part of the “in” crowd. Meanwhile, Barry has destroyed the economy, given the Middle East to the Muslim Brotherhood, and generally been a disgraceful president while still managing to play 100+ rounds of golf.
I despise these elitist pricks. All of them, Republicans and Democrats alike. The country is falling apart while they stuff their fat faces with expensive food and booze. I hope President Romney follows Rush Limbaugh’s example and boycotts this self-congratulatory and self-indulgent tradition that is an example everything about our political system that is corrupt and disgusting.
The thing is, you don’t use phony documents, like he has since his first ice cream scooping job, unless you don’t have real ones.
But I did find it funny that even his writers thought to play with his birth. And his strategists probably thought that was good — if you joke about something, it shows that it’s not real. Not. Why do people believe every joke Jon Stewart says is real? Why do people think that from Sarah Palin’s porch you can see Matruska dolls dancing and old men playing chess and drinking vodka?
Just a thought, Frank. Some credit on that copyright.
High-larious!
Oddly enough, the first thing they ask you to do when you take the witness stand is to state your identity and where you came from.
Okay. Okay. I got this one.
You lie!
Just remember: The second time he recited the oath....there was no bible.
Yeah, Obama, I remember how Hawaii’s new Governor Abercrombie promised, once in office, to go to the proper state bureaucracy and personally have them find your original birth certificate. Boy, that story died a sudden death and was never heard from again.
Still, an examination of your original birth certificate (not a supposed copy) from the Hawaii archives would be a good step.
Mrs. Obama looked very uncomfortable and I thought he looked uncomfortable also.
The possibilities for good reality based humor are just endless in that story.
.. WHAT A F*CKING DOUCHEBAG. I hate what the m*f*er is doing to our country. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Typical liberal tactic.
Make fun of any serious allegations.

Did he use a Bible of Koran the first time? How do you know there was no Bible the second time?
So you don’t accept the fraudulent computer generated scam little barry bastard aired from the White House presser? ... But you believe the lying bastard that there is a real long form in Hawaiian archives, even after he sent lawyers to ‘retrieve’ this imaginary long form original and then posted the forgery?
Too bad it wasn't Nipsey.
Kool-aid propaganda ministry, government elitist swine all think it’s a joke. They live in their own little world.
As one freeper so aptly stated:
Godless Communists, criminals, perverts, racists, abortionists, welfare parasites, pseudo intellectual misfits, tree huggers, Global Warming insisters, Hollywood weirdos, and other assorted a$$wipes.
Yes, keep laughing. As I throw dishes away to make room for more ammo.
But Obama touched on serious themes as well, remembering The New York Times' Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times of London who died while covering the uprising in Syria.
"Never forget that our country depends on you to help protect our freedom, our democracy and our way of life," Obama said.
Most presidents reserve that statement for the U.S. military.
I thought he was quoting Lying Eyes by the Eagles.
Is that you, Don?
Lacking verified evidence as to Obama’s father the Hawaii divorce record from Obama Sr. doesn’t remove Frank Davis, a pornographer and communist seducer friend of Stanley’s parents, from being Obama’s sperm father. What about the porno pictures of Obama’a mother at the Davis home. Are these photos really true or not. I believe most if not all the dots as to Obama’s and mother’s background can just as well be started with Davis.
I agree, I don’t like to call creeps animal
The sad thing is I feel sorry for her. Where would this country be right now if the Clintons were back in the White House? For all of Bill's faults, at least he knew what the hell he was doing and didn't destroy the economy doing it.
While I was stationed at Hickam AFB from 1969 to 1972, Abercrombie was an anti-war, rabble-rousing graduate student at UH. He frequently led demonstrations attempting to close entrances to the island’s military bases.
In one case, one of Abercrombie’s minions, a very naive colonel’s daughter, brought some of his scum on to Hickam in a car with her father’s base decal. Up until that time, although security was good at the base’s gates, access to Hq PCACF was open, and this twit brought the scum into the building and up the stairs to the Directorate of Operations where they dumped chicken blood into some file cabinets. The two surprised AF majors in the office cold-cocked two of the scum, and held them all for the Security police. The colonel was fired and he and his whole family (daughter included) were removed from the island the next day. The two cold-cocked guys filed an assault suit against the majors, but the case was thrown out by the judge because they were trespassing in an unauthorized/classified area.
Needless to say, security at Hq PACAF was tightened up immediately.
You poor soul. I know the feeling. There are spelling nazis that lurk here that discredit what you say if your grammar or spelling is incorrect.
Oh how i wish for those days of simply blue dress, stains, cigars. And we thought that was awful, that was absolutely nothing compared to this. Watergate pales in comparison
to these scandals.
My fellow Americans,we gather during a historic anniversary,” Obama said. “Last year at this time, in fact on this very weekend (one of my many golfing weekends,the United States Navy finally delivered justice to one of the world’s most notorious individuals.
Obama then explained he was advised to “reintroduce himself” to America.
Not necessary,Osama.We've had a 39 month long introduction to you.Unemployment is 10%,almost half of US households are on food stamps,residential real estate values are down by 30%,gasoline is $4 a gallon,the process of destroying the finest health care system ever known to mankind has begun,and Iran is within months of developing a nuclear weapon,with nothing but crickets heard from the White House.Yes,Osama,we have a *very* good idea who you are,thanks!
“My name is Barack Obama. My mother (who was a Marxist radical)was born in Kansas. My father (ditto) was born in Kenya (as were most of you relatives,at least two of whom are currently living in the US in blatant violation of Federal law).And I was born, of course,” the sitting president said with a mischievous, knowing wink, “well,that's a secret”
What I'm still scratching my head about is, why did Obama send his lawyer to Honolulu to courier the document back to the White House? I mean, there's Federal Express! Hell, there's even the USPS! How many dollars an hour do they charge?
But of course I lack the reptilian brain of a Chicago community organizer. Obama knows he can prove what he needs to prove if push ever comes to shove. Meanwhile, time for some head games.
If he had actually wanted to end the birther thing last year, he could simply have asked the Hawaii Department of Health to post the damn document on their website. Then he could have announced the URL at his little press conference and proudly displayed the hi-res image on one of his 200-pound air conditioned outdoor teleprompter monitors.
Damn,HTML skills need work...
Yeah, at least we all had jobs back then and could afford to laugh at our horndog president.
