Here are the points I see 1) This is a big win for Trump and America. 2) The release has killed Obama's plan to use a Clintonian rope a dope with this issue. I think he planned to let this issue simmer until October 2012 then pull the rug out from under Trump or whoever the GOP nominee is. That card has been played and it still hasn't killed the issue, you can hear that in the way it is being reported. 3) There are still a few serious questions about the document and what it does. Since Obama's mother was only 18 at his birth and his father being a Kenyan did he get the type of citizenship required to be president? 4) Trump is just beginning. If he could get Obama to answer this question in a month, he will have less trouble with other issues. How can Obama keep dodging demands to release his 2012 budget?
This is a long way from over and the score is Trump ONE Obama and the media ZERO so far.
Illegal based on what? The Constitution is mute on the issue. Supreme Court decisions also have never explicitly stated a definition.
Of course, but we also have to play the hand we're dealt. And pretty much, at least the current crop of candidates is the same milquetoast GOP crap we've had to deal with since Reagan left office.
Never mind my request. Found it.
Perhaps the biggest victory is Trump, Conservative or not, has given Republicans an example of how to be successful candidates instead of politically correct wimps.
No it's not; he simply is does not qualify, not having two parents who were citizens at his birth. No doubt at all, by his own evidence.
Here you go from MSNBC.

I have changed it. So you may already see it modified. Use you mouse wheel to go up and down the document. Also it’s currently set to 3,817%.
I forgot the White House now tracks everyone. You can get it from Scribed too.
It depends if some state passes a law stating that all presidential candidates must prove their constitutional eligibility, and then if someone challenges him.
thank you.
One thing it does; it shows that Obama, the White House, liberals, the DNC and the media are all liars - the COLB was not the birth certificate, even though they all tried to pretend it was.
Here is the 100% version. Just right click over the document, and then left click “Marquee Zoom”. Use your mouse wheel to look at the “R” in Barack. Then scroll down and you can clearly see the white out the type over.

See post 50. You will laugh it’s so obvious.
Issues? Another “refuse-to-get-your hands-dirty” idealist heard from, I see.
Anything that works to get him off the ballot/declared ineligible is fine by me.
At the end of the day Macchiavelli was still right.
He wants to keep the issue alive to discredit the GOP, he said as much in the presser by saying some will not be satisfied...
On the whole O is getting what he wants judging from most of the comments here today...
Ignoramus question: What does the “Marquee Zoom” do that 400% or 800% doesn’t?
Perhaps. It is still a defeat for Birtherism - the faithful will battle on but for most Americans it the issue is over. I can certainly hear the GOP leadership sighing in relieve that they don’t have to address this issue anymore. It doesn’t do much for Trump besides making him look foolish - what do you think his crack team of investigators in Hawaii will discover?
He didn’t release this earlier because he felt he benefited politically from it. He is a shrewd politician - it is dangerous to assume that this will hurt Obama.
You’re right.
Although my husband and I are NBC’s, my son is not. He was born in a German hospital. It was explained to us, in detail, when my son was born that he was a US Citizen, but NOT natural born and the only stipulation of his citizen status was that he could never be POTUS.
McCain had a similar issue, BUT he was born in a US hospital on a US base which was classified as US soil in a foreign country. That is the difference between him and my son.
For this reason, I think that it’s terribly unjust for military families to sacrifice so much for their country, only to have this over their heads, but I do accept the limitation. It is the Law. Period.
HOWEVER, this can be fixed by having military babies born in military hospitals on US bases. But they won’t do it because it’s cheaper to just pay the foreign drs to deliver the babies. It’s crap, but it’s our reality.
The president must respect the Constitution and the Law.
Ok, I will bite...
WHO?
If Palin or West doesn’t run then 0bama wins in a rout.
::: If his father had Kenyan citizenship at birth, then Obamugabes natural born citizenship status is in doubt. :::
But, the people have spoken at the ballot box. Too little, too late! [/sarc][/SCOTUS opinion]
