Ann Coulter was being interviewed by Sean Hannity last night and she succinctly laid out the case against Trump and this resurgent interest in an Obama birth certificate. I've always thought this story was crap from day one. First, as Ann Coulter points out there is fundamentally no difference between the long form birth certificate and short form. They are both certified.
Personally, I think the Obama team is loving the attention being given to it because it gives them an opportunity to force each prospective GOP candidate for President to answer the question and take away vital time from important issues like oh.....the economy,gas prices,the national debt, etc. Trump is making a fool of himself and risks everyone being tarred with his foolishness. To all the "birthers", I ask this: Do you really think ruthless characters like Bill and Hillary Clinton could not have found the evidence and used it against him? The Clinton's of "war room" politics? Those liberal versions of Nixonian politics and paranoia?
If not the Clinton's then how about conservative iconic publications like "Human Events" and "The American Spectator" as Ann Coulter pointed out. I loathe and utterly detest conspiracy theories as they are the product of irrational supposition from incomplete portraits suggesting an inability to differentiate chance and order. The notion that everything is the product of planning is absurd.
The absurdity of this crackpot theory is rooted in the bizarre notion that the infant Obama was identified at birth as a future President and an intense cover up was implemented to shield the truth. All this over a man no one had ever heard of as recent as 2004 before his keynote address at the DNC. John Kerry chose him to deliver the speech, so maybe he was in on the plot, huh?
It's time to stop with the irrational and ignore desperate pleas for attention from media whores like Donald Trump. Our stake in the future of the nation is too important to waste placating the vanity of a man who will leave egg on all our faces.

It couldn't be proven in a soundbite without a BC and there is no way they could get the BC because a)only 0bummer can release it and b)it has to exist in the first place.
If the Clintons had even touched the issue the left would hate them more than the right ever has. And that's a lot.
I’ve been slowly picking away at my writing here and there.
I’ve had people from waaay back mention stuff I’d written back then as a reason they remember me.
I can’t remember if Darks saw those photos from last April 15th, where the snake was Photoshopped into a downtown Tucson tea party......
This Friday snakes will be Photoshopped in front of Atlas Shrugged, Part I :0)
I think that cheese smells like vomit. No way can I eat that and I’m not a picky eater. Provolone has that barf smell too.
Oh my.
What a wreck.
Why does this site attract so many blog pimps? Are you willing to pay ME if I click on your site? My price is negotiable..........
It was so obviously faked, you were so much taller than the lady next to you........
*guffawing*
I hope your date (Atlas) is tall too.
Another fated to never have normal pets?
“...why did Obama feel compelled to state that his birth status was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 rather than citing the United States Constitution & the 14th Amendment?”
Because the British Nationality Act of 1948 doesn't recognize illegitimately children of British subjects as eligible for British citizenship. Only the citizenship of the mother would apply in that case.
So, for Obama to be a British subject his parents would have to have been legally married. There doesn't appear to be any evidence that they were married, just the divorce.
But I have to tell you, I really don't think it matters. The secret lies in Indonesia.
When Stanley Ann Soetoro renewed her U.S. passport in 1965, she listed her son as ‘Soebarkha (Soetoro)’, then lined the name out. Why? Because he had been adopted by her husband, Lolo, and was now legally, in Indonesia, his dependent and not hers. Soebarkha “Barry” Soetoro had to have had his own passport otherwise he wouldn't have been able to travel so frequently between Indonesia, Hawaii, and even Australia.
That is why when Stanley Ann dumped him on her parents in Hawaii, 1971, he was considered Indonesian. This explains the 999-xx-xxxx SSN he used at Occidental College. It also explains how he was able to travel to Pakistan - he had an Indonesian passport.
Senator Obama said that until he was in the U.S. Congress he had never had a passport. I believe he was telling the truth - he had never until then had a U.S. passport BECAUSE he isn't a U.S. citizen.
In July 2007 the Democratic Party sent a representative to Indonesia to buy up all records and photographs of Barak Obama and the Soetoro family. The amount of money spread around was about $150,000 - $200,000. No one would do this if Obama had just been a 10 year old American kid living with his mom and stepdad in a foreign land; this would be done only if there was a secret dangerous to the Democratic Party's future plans.
o hogwash...Ann can be an emotional screwball sometimes. Trump knows darn well that it is easy to certify and forge a short form which does not have the original signatures. I think she may be jealous and this is a core issue for heaven sakes!
That’s wrong. I got my passport last year with with just the so-called “short form” I got from Missouri...magritte
When did you get your passport? I got mine in 2010 with a short-form Missouri birth certificate...magritte
I guess feta is out, too. I love a good Greek salad.
Keep posting all the photos that you want — are those from your personal yearbook? As I posted, my brother-in-law went to the same school as BO and did not find any photos of him in the yearbook. And does not remember him. And he’s not the only one. This is anecdotal evidence from people I know.
So please take your rude accusations somewhere else.
I sure hope so!
My previous cat was a bobcat domestic mix, she weighed in at 22 pounds [miracle of miracles] and she would climb my leg for provilone cheese, turkey, ham, or roast beef.
She’d give out an insistant “Mwow-mm” about it as well. [think a bobcat trying to do a bobcat meow in a dainty fashion]
She didn’t know that I was the only person who didn’t mind her Matterhorn skills, so the missus got scaled while wearing shorts one fine day.
My last cat had a thing for watching movies and chewing on my boots.
The lovebird has a peg leg, she got her foot caught in the cage door loop and decided not to wait for the humans to help.
She has the remaining cat cowed, he is terrified of the Beak of Doom.
And she loves Tristan so much, she displays at him.
As for the remaining cat, he’s as vacant in the head as a rock.
