Obama jokes about birth certificate
United Press International ^ | May 1, 2011

Posted on 04/30/2011 9:58:54 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Obama's birth certificate took center stage during his appearance Saturday night at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington.

He was introduced with the song "Real American" with shots of the certificate cut into a South Park-style montage, Politico reported. The president also said he really wanted to put the issue of his birth to rest -- and showed a brief clip from the Disney cartoon "The Lion King."

Obama also took aim at Donald Trump, who has become of the country's best-known "birthers" in the past few weeks and a possible Republican candidate for president next year.

"Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald," Obama said. "And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, 'Did we fake the moon landing?' 'What really happened on Roswell?' And 'Where are Biggie and Tupac?'"

Obama also took aim at Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., saying he missed the dinner because his proposed budget has "no room for laughter." And he dismissed actor Matt Damon's criticisms of his job performance by remarking he has seen "The Adjustment Bureau."

The president also showed a clip of bloopers by Vice President Joe Biden, saying that when his teleprompter malfunctioned he turned for help "to a man who never lets prepared remarks stand in his way."

We’ll see how many people are “laughing” in about a year...

Laugh Obama. Meanwhile, we're dealing with this:

From the Daily Pen Here.

"For more than four years, 35 lawsuits, millions of blogs, thousands of YouTube videos, thousands of hours of cable news pontification, denial after denial, disparagement, violence, hatred, anger, the imprisonment of an American hero, and, most injurious, a global degradation of confidence in Barack Obama, he suddenly injects another piece of evidence into the eligibility circumference."

We're not laughing. 200 million Americans are mad as hell. You'll see on November 6, 2012.

A sign of an inept, confused and scared politician who happens to be the President.

Following the lefty formula of denigrating, and marginalizing the truth with ha ha ha’s and fake smiles and media whore acceptance.

Meanwhile he’s has F Bombing skid marks in his monogrammed undies.

This whole evening turned out to be a Donald Trump Roast! It wasn't funny, and instead was a desperate attempt to humiliate Trump. The Donald was not amused, and will have his say very soon, I predict.

I don't think Obama will be laughing once Donald really digs into ALL of the issues that are mysterious and suspicious about him. Go Donald!

What a predicament!.. continue denying, stalling, and passing out bogus documents to prove that Barack Obama is the father -- and thus junior no natural born citizen..

OR

admit that Frank Marshall Davis, or take you pick, is the father and be a natural born citizen -- but admit to being a perfidious SOB.

Could be.

What a sad, petty little man-child Obama is...most Presidents use this dinner to take a few light-hearted jabs at themselves but BO uses his time to take cheap shots at everyone who has angered him, which appears to be anyone who has ever dared offer any criticism.

Seeing Jimmy Carter disgracing himself in North Korea earlier this week, I was again reminded how dangerous it is for America to have a leader with an inferiority complex and a chip on his shoulder...determined to blame the country that elevated him to its highest office but never accepting any responsibility for his own misguided policies!

If you’re Obama and Matt Damon criticizes you, you’re in trouble!

Methinks Trump is going to stick his foot so far up Steve Dunham’s a$$, that Steve will be belching leather until he leaves office.

I hope Trump says something like “You’re getting your pink slip, punk”.

Or, FUBO.

The BC he has just put out he knows is bogus, he also knows the media, the democrats, and the supreme court, will never prosecute him even if it were proved to be falsified. His Chicago Alinsky/criminal mind has got this all figured out. So he has a fun time rubbing it in everybody’s face. Ha, ha, big joke.

I must have missed that as I only saw the end with Seth Myers who seemingly did 5 minutes worth of Trump bashing. I never liked Seth Myers as I don’t find him funny, and now I have really no use for this guy.

Everyone is piling on Trump, including many Freepers. He must be destroyed because he had the temerity to attack The One and forced him to release some information about himself. The Left hates him because he humiliated Obama and the Right hates him because he is not a conservative, but somehow he is reasonating with Rep voters.

All of this reminds me of the former Soviet Union. Anyone who disagreed with the Establishment was declared insane and put into a mental institution.

They are playing with fire with Trump. He may just decide to run as a third party candidate and f**k the GOP establishment that has joined in with the Left to attack him. The C-SPAN "humor" tonight was outrageous re the many attacks against Trump that ridiculed him personally and branded him a racist and a joke.

While watching the 2008 debates which featured Hillary and Obama, I saw here make a comment about J. Wright. The camera panned to Obama, who looked?

Angry
Petty
Vindictive
“How dare you?”
Tight-lipped
Thin skinned
All of the above

A. All of the above.

I thought:

She got him, got under his skin.
Something is wrong with this man. After all, high school is a thing of the past.

Nothing good can come from poking the neighbors Pit Bull. NY Billionaires are nothing to poke.

Pray for America

The other day I phoned Jack of “Jack in the Box” (fast food chain) and asked the receptionist if Jack had a birth certificate. There was a long pause and the receptionist finally came back on line and told me that Jack did not have a BC, but he did have a drivers license!

Now I ask, if this clown can admit that he does not have a BC, why can’t the clown in the White House do the likewise! You gave us another phony baloney BC Mr. Obama. Do you think we are that stupid?

Mr. Obama, this joke is on you!!!

The President’s jokes, about the BC, trump, anything, were not all that funny. He sure looked silly with the video of how American he is, showing closeups of his BC over and over in it.
