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.

Remove the Blacks and hardcore liberals, you would still have about 75-80% demanding he step down.
Asking someone for their proper ID is not irrational.
"It is when you keep asking after having been shown. "
Obama has never shown a long form birth certificate.
So? He's shown his short form, which is just as good for the purposes of proving birth in the USA.
No it is not as good as the actual birth certificate.
No you’re wrong. My daughter need BC, passport and medical insurance card, and a piece of addressed mail just to take the permit test in NJ.
Why not?
Need the name of the hospital, name of the doctor, and the doctor’s signature.
Why? How are they in any way relevant to his eligibility?
The only valid birth certificate is one that has hospital, doctor name, and doctor signature. Do you know the original poster/source of thae Obama short form birth certificate that’s on the internet? How about the birth announcement? Who posted that?
There are TWO ways to generate a COLB - Certificate of Live Birth.
1) A Medical Record, commonly called a Long form. Its signed by a doctor and another witness ATTESTING to the birth of the child in a specific location.
2) An ADMINISTRATIVE record - a Late Registration of Birth - This has an address listed as the place of birth and a witness signature. This is the means by which Hawaii registered foreign born babies in order to qualify them for various welfare programs etc. It also fraudulently got them US Citizenship.
Now, COLB’s are generated for BOTH of these circumstances, and the document does NOT tell which.
So, anyone else feeling sketchy about Hawaii’s COLB program? The ONLY way you can tell how the COLB was generated is to see the form that created it. Is it #1 or #2?
That’s all we wanna know.
Oh, lets not forget that Hawaii REALLY doesn’t want #2 known, nor does it want to face the investigation that it SHOULD generate.
Damnit, this is a HUGE fraud! Its no little thing!
How was that short form generated?
Answering: “by a printer” does not count as an answer. Which form of birth registration was used? Medical or Administrative?
Says who?
Ann needs a sandwich.....
So...newbies not allowed to post articles about Ultra Conservatives?
Can I see a link to that quote? Thanks.
I think the bottom line answer to that is 'arrogance.' Adding to that I think there was a flood of young inexperienced but very passionate political operatives in his campaign.
1. "Late registration of birth" means the registration of a person's non-recorded birth more than 30 days but less than one year after birth.
Wheres the link? I don’t trust your recollections.
Wheres the link to the Medical record quote you mentioned?
You demand links from everyone else, so do what you demand.
