Trump defiant as poll numbers rise, won’t say Obama was born in United States
Washington Post ^ | Sept. 15, 2016 | Robert Costa

Posted on 09/15/2016 5:17:31 PM PDT by Innovative

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in an interview here that he remains unwilling to say that President Obama is born in the United States, that he is more bullish than ever on his chances to win and that he is not exploring the launch of a new media company in case he loses the race.

Trump also made a far-from-subtle push — in the interview and in a letter from his doctor released Thursday — to be seen as vigorous and healthy as his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, returned to the campaign trail after being treated for mild pneumonia.

I found it interesting that they got Giuliani and Conway to disavow the birther thing, even as we hadn’t heard anything different from Trump. That raised my eyebrows. I’ve always thought that Trump got to the end of his investigation and concluded that yes, Obama’s a fraud, not born in Hawaii, but can’t be proved beyond a reasonable doubt unless someone else gets control of the government, and can really look into the files. Then he gets roasted at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, and he’s sitting there, like, “Yeah, we’ll see.” The fact that he’s never backed down on it no matter the cost . . . telling.

Trump should answer any questions with...Obama should put to rest all questions by immediately releasing his passport travel records, school records and birth records.

In an open and free society, it is repugnant to keep such records secret.

I for one believe Obozo is an American citizen, born of an American mother in Hawaii. I believe the real scandal holds two key points.

First, Obozo’s mother renounced her/Obozo’s American citizenship. This is evidenced by the year young Obozo attended an Indonesian Islamic school. In that year, it was against Indonesian law to admit foreign students. Obozo’s mommy applied for Indonesian citizenship.

Secondly, Obozo, now being an Indonesian citizen, came to America and applied for federal foreign student college aid to attend classes in the U.S. This is why his college records have been frozen. This or Obozo was indeed an American citizen and committed fraud by applying for federal student aid as a foreign student.

For these reasons, Trump should not denounce his own beliefs until Obozo PROVES otherwise. He should hammer night and day, every single time asked...why has Obozo sealed his passport and college records and claimed to be the most transparent administration?

It’s not important and WaPo’s opinion isn’t worth a pinch of spit in the ocean.

For the duration of the campaign this is a non-starter.The Former Twelfth Lady is the focus as are the Community Organizer-In-Chief's policies.This is the kind of thing The Former Twelfth Lady could use in ads.

I think is the new tactic they are using. I saw it on CNN and MSNBC. I am sure hey are using it to rile up Obama lovers especially ones that look like him.

It's not up to Trump to say anything. It's up to Obama to explain how his official professional biography made the claim that he was born in Kenya. In particular how this information could come from any source other than him. He has never been made to account for this.

And the media actually thinks the country loves Obama so much, they`ll abandon Trump to defend him? Talk about tone deaf. Half the country despises Obama. Of the remainder, half of those only support him because they`re too embarassed to admit that they were wrong about him.

I have yet to see a REAL birth certificate from the imposter in the WH. We all saw that one that was faked and investigated by our own Sheriff Joe.

I seem to remember a biography in a book about a senator which said the author was born in Kenya.

Obama claimed to be born in Kenya up until he was elected to the US Senate.

Why is it important what he “won’t” say?!
______________________________________
It is obvious. The want to compromise Trump on the issue because it is the biggest political lie ever perpetrated. Ask yourself, how many reasons are there for having to generate a clearly fraudulent BC?

If as Comrade Obama Jr claims his dad was Barak Hussein Obama Sr, of Kenya,
than it is not possible for Junior to be a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.
even if he had been born in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House.

Why should Trump say anything? Only Obama’s mother and the medical people in attendance know for sure where Obama was born. And I’m speaking of Obama’s mother, whoever she may have been. Trump doesn’t know for sure. And neither does anyone else. As you pointed out, Trump is running against Hillary, so the issue should be put aside.

Robbie Costa, answer me this: Do you know where Obama was born? Of course you don’t, you only choose to believe what other people say they know, and they choose to believe what still other people say they know. Truth is, neither you nor Trump nor anyone else who professes to know actually does know, maybe not even Obama himself! And of course, Trump is not the kind of girly man who can be goaded into saying something for the benefit of his detractors - like YOU!
