Another Trump staffer acknowledges the truth of Obama’s birthplace — layering it (w/falsehoods)

On Thursday night, Donald Trump finally acknowledged an obvious, proven fact: President Obama was born in the United States. Or, rather, Trump's campaign said that he acknowledged it, in a statement that was itself riddled with falsehoods.

"Hillary Clinton’s campaign first raised this issue to smear then-candidate Barack Obama in her very nasty, failed 2008 campaign for President," the statement begins. That's untrue — and it's been fact-checked any number of times. In 2011, Politico outlined the origins; in May, our fact checkers dubbed it ridiculous.

"This type of vicious and conniving behavior is straight from the Clinton Playbook. As usual, however, Hillary Clinton was too weak to get an answer," the statement continues. Again, Clinton wasn't looking for an "answer" to the non-question of where Barack Obama was born because her campaign wasn't pressing the issue. Even before the release of Obama's long-form birth certificate, an announcement of Obama's birth was found in a Honolulu newspaper. His 2008 campaign had released a statement of live birth demonstrating where he was born. Anyone who asked the question for whatever reason had the answer in front of them, if they chose to see it.

"Even the MSNBC show 'Morning Joe' admits that it was Clinton’s henchmen who first raised this issue, not Donald J. Trump," the statement goes on. Whether or not someone on "Morning Joe" said it — a show, we will note, that has spent an awful lot of time of late disparaging Trump — that doesn't make it true.

When did Stanley Dunham encounter Malcom X?

The Malcolm X angle has Stanley Ann being the surrogate mother. Remember there are no pictures of Stanley Ann being pregnant and then she suddenly shows up in Washington State with an infant and her friend reports she doesn't know how to change the baby's diaper.

Stopped reading right there.

Agree...

In contrast to the MSM's smug certainty that Obama was born in Hawaii, let's not forget that the Kenyan ambassador to the United States stated in an interview on a Detroit FM radio station that the Kenyan government intended to create a monument to honor Obama at his birthplace in Kenya. (That interview was conducted on the day after Obama's victorious 2008 presidential election). Furthermore, at least three different members of the Kenyan Parliament made congratulatory statements before that body declaring Obama's birth in Kenya, as noted in the Parliament's contemporaneous transcripts.

Now the MSM and the 'Rats, in the interest of bashing Trump, are putting out the absurd notion that anyone who has doubts about Obama's birthplace is a "racist." Really? I wonder what percentage of black Americans care or even know about this controversy. Has anyone ever polled this question?

An excellent recap!

That’s why the BCs are problematic. Real BCs with the papa altered.

To allow him to later apply for and receive foreign student status at American colleges? Some planning!

Now, if you will excuse me, the tinfoil is getting a bit thin over my left frontal lobe, so I am going to add another layer....

BTW, where are you getting tinfoil? All I can find is that second-rate aluminum stuff!

[SJackson]

Trump, if he answers the MSM’s gotcha question at all, should say “It was Hillary’s campaign that raised doubts about his birth certificate. Are you saying that she lied?” and leave it at that.

Yes, leave it at that in bold. Obama is running for nothing, this is a distraction designed to stop his recent momentum. Get the EMails and health out of the news, talk about Obama's birth. Emphasizing that Hillary started it is counterproductive. No one cares, and it gets the issues that favor trump off the news.

Exile in a place without an extradition treaty may be an option.

A bin Laden style raid could resolve that. Dead or alive.

His mother was rutting around the world with God knows who.

As long as he wasn't white...

“Rutting Around the World”.. I see a TV series in this!

Did she really show up to visit in Seattle with a baby and then drive cross country to Boston?

Susan Blake’s testimony of that event changed a few times and the original interview was eventually repressed. Blake was following Ayer’s story line from the Dreams book. The year was wrong for the mother’s ‘trip to Harvard’ with a new baby. Then there is the problem with placing BHO Sr at Harvard for any length of time. No one validated his presence there.

But if the baby was a lot older and she had just picked him up to deliver to some relative of his in Connecticut, it could all have a portion of truth. The witness, Blake, is a lib-dem elected to some local office. So we really don’t know if anything she said was true or if it was all conjured up to coincide with all the curiosity regarding his past.

Then again, wasn’t baby potus supposed to be in Honolulu? All so very confusing.

If I become President, I will have all those nifty secret things and I will be immune to his threats. That means, post election, I CAN STOMP HIM LIKE A COCKROACH.

Wouldn't that be so great if he exposed all the dirty secrets...let them all see the light of day?

I think that the 2 single funniest things about the “birth certificate” that Obama released were/are:

1) The hospital mentioned as the [supposed] place of his birth did not exist until the 1970s; and

2) He is described as an “African-American” a few decades before that term was EVER used in public. Had the proper term for the time period been used, he’d have been referred to as a “Negro.”

The supposed birth certificate was such a transparent fraud that I just about gave up on the media and the Republican Party when no one powerful raised these EASY issues and DEMANDED proof - on pain of calling for impeachment and treason hearings - of his actual birth certificate.

I thought the press all swooned over the ‘Kenya-born senator’ when he spoke at the Democrat convention in 2004. But they would have been so easy to dig up in 2008 if that were the case.

[Salamander]

Wow.

Uncanny valley.

Trump’s statement that Obama was born in the US just proves to me that Trump is just another politician that will tell any lie to get elected.

I don't believe that to be the case, because if it was, he would have had an original, non-twin birth certificate to start with, but the one they presented, was a bastardized 'twin' birth certificate.

Download, and open, the LFBC. Then zoom into box #4 (if twin), and look at the boxes, they are pixel, for pixel copies, one was copied to replace the other. Look at box #3, the 'twin' box, and compare it to the unselected ('yes') box in 7G, they are also identical.

In order to repair boxes that were modified by being selected with an 'X' (just removing the 'X' would not work, because forger wouldn't know where to put negative space), the forger copied box elements that were not selected on the original. All the boxes that were replaced, have to do with the birth being a twin. Just coincidentally, the woman who started Planned Parenthood in Hawaii, gave birth to twins, just hours before Obama was born, in the same hospital as Obama's mother supposedly gave birth.

Trump’s statement that Obama was born in the US just proves to me that Trump is just another politician that will tell any lie to get elected.

If Trump does not get elected, the evidence the Sheriff Arpaio has collected, will NEVER be presented anywhere meaningful, the media will simply ignore it. If Trump is elected, he can then say, "hey let's hear what Sheriff Arpaio has to say.", and then force it down the media's throat. Screw Obama, he's gone, make all of America know how the media deliberately misled them.

Trump is not one to 'forgive and forget', he IS doing, and saying what he needs to get elected. But it's what he does after he is elected that's important. And I believe he plans on having the whole issue blow up on Obama, and the news media. It's the perfect vehicle to show how biased, and political the news media is. And he can stick it up the arses of those who made fun of him over the issue.
