Donald Trump expresses doubts over President Obama’s birth
The State Column ^ | March 18, 2011 | Staff

Donald Trump has some doubts concerning President Obama’s place of birth.

The New York billionaire and potential Republican presidential candidate seemed to defend the “birther” movement, expressing doubt over Mr. Obama’s place of birth.

“Everybody who gives even a hint of being a ‘birther’ … even a little bit of a hint … they label them as an idiot,” Mr. Trump said.

“The reason I have a little doubt — just a little — is because he grew up and nobody knew him,” the Donald added.

Mr. Trump made the comment while traveling aboard his private Boeing 727.

The comment is likely the biggest endorsement for the movement. A number of states are considering measures aimed at requiring presidential candidates to present birth certificates before placement on a ballot. The measure has yet to pass, however, Oklahoma is pushing ahead with a measure that may pass in the coming weeks.

Mr. Trump, who appeared on Comedy Central Sunday for his roasting, continues to float the possibility of a presidential campaign in 2012. The New York Republican has gradually increased his presence in the world of politics, saying speculation over a potential presidential campaign is not part of a publicity stunt.

I would say it will bust wide open after Hilary makes about a hundred hard core loyalty allegiances in return for backing her own version of questioning Obamas legality to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Hillary knows every inch of Obamas past, she has more connections than a 1910 NYC phone exchange.

I’d get a great laugh if she did that, he resigned, she got the nomination, but then Sarah beat her in the general when the blacks, academia, ACORNs and young lefties stayed home in droves to “teach Hillary a lesson” for getting rid of Barry!! LOL

Would someone please kick me in the shins if SDV ever offers to play chess with me.

You think she will do something when he is in Rio?

Myself I think she will use Libya against him for the time being.

She is fuming right now after the Post Turtle (doesn’t that moniker really start to stick now) hung her out to dry over Egypt and Lybia. She has in effect already given her resignation from the comments by a spokesperson that she will not continue if he is re-elected. OUCH!

You are right in that she will blow this thing wide open and Zero knows it, in that it was her camp who started the whole birther thing during the primary campaigns. Maybe that is why he is so detatched lately because he knows the party is over.

I say that when all of the crap is revealed as to how his administration screwed us all over and over again that a special tribunal be enacted to strip him of all his titles and especially his rights and benefits as a former president just as we would do to a traitor.

BTW, forgot to add that The Donald and the Hildebeast have a history of a social friendship.

“O” wasn’t born, someone just turned over a rock and there he was.

I find it very hard to take Donald Trump seriously.

“Everybody who gives even a hint of being a ‘birther’ … even a little bit of a hint … they label them as an idiot,” Mr. Trump said.

Trump will probably be trashed for saying that, or most of the media won't even mention it.

It's time the media stopped letting Obama hide.

It's time for someone in authority to take this thing in hand.

We have a Lt. Col. in prison for asking this same question and a smart azzed President going to the Press Club and asking that born in America be played, while hiding behind a Hawaiian law that won't let his Birth Certificate be shown.

Hillary is afraid of only one thing, being called a racist. It’s what stalled the Clinton caboose in South Carolina.

Trump doesn’t care what anyone calls him.

It's funny, because it's true.

Eventually the truth of Obama’s ineligibility to be POTUS will leak out. He may have been born in Hawaii, but the nationality of his birth father, his subsequently having an Indonesian passport and his likely attending college under a foreign student scholarship would still make him ineligible under the requirements of the Constitution. That would create a huge Constitutional crisis as everything he signed as POTUS would be invalid.

Yep, and where’s the name change papers? He was officially adopted and is Barry Soerto. When did he take back his birth name? He became an Indonesian with the adoption, where’s his American naturalization papers? So many questions, so few answers, and he doesn’t qualify as a president!

Maybe Donald would have “standing”?

Anyway...I haven't seen any mocking of Donald by the communist mainstream and wimpy conservative media since he made that comment.

I loved it when Donald said that he was a good student. I bet Obama wasn't!
