A coalition of peculiar media forces apparently led by Donald Trump appear to be working to make President Barack Obama’s birth certificate a major 2012 campaign issue, and all signs point to Sean Hannity hopping on the bandwagon. After dedicating a significant amount of time on his radio show earlier this week to the matter, he brought it up once again on TV in the context of Trump’s potential 2012 bid, calling the entire ordeal ‘odd.’
The discussion began on his “Great American Panel,” where Republican strategist Dee Dee Benkie was urging viewers not to completely dismiss Trump as a viable presidential candidate. This allowed Hannity to bring up the birth certificate, which Trump had been demanding to see, and Hannity noted merely asking the question had helped Trump’s poll numbers: “he’s now in a tie for 5th place, two points behind Sarah Palin.” Panelist Ron Daniels scoffed at the idea that being anywhere near Palin on the polls was a good thing, and dismissed the idea that Trump even wanted to be President. “It’s a publicity stunt,” he concluded.
But Hannity was far more interested in pursuing President Obama’s birthplace struggles, wondering aloud yet again why the President has yet to produce a long-form birth certificate. He took his now-typical line of attack, noting that Dick Cheney had to prove his residency and that President Chester A. Arthur had one attorney after him proclaiming he was born in either Ireland or Canada. That said, Hannity clarified that he personally had no questions as to whether the President was American, but he did not consider himself a worthy arbiter of that.
Legal analyst Peter Johnson agreed that “there is a way to put this to bed”– showing a birth certificate that would be adequate to those who believe the conspiracy– and that the White House has not produced said certificate raised questions. Daniels objected, noting correctly that the White House in fact has published President Obama’s birth certificate several times, but the copy presented was not sufficient. To that, Hannity concluded the discussion articulating what many exposed to the birther debate regularly lament: “let’s get out of this. This is stupid.”

Then we'd have a real race on our hands.
Similarly, if a long-form birth certificate were made public, people who denied that was real could be labeled “conspiracy theorists”.
However, simply pointing out the fact that no birth certificate has been produced, and asking to see one, does not make one a conspiracy theorist. There should be no stigma attached to simply asking for proof of eligibility for the office held.
Agree, Too many real questions for there to be specific focus on the BC. I want it all looked at because I think it all ties together in the end.
The real conspiracy theorists are those that think he has it and is playing a game.
I hate to think this, but is Donald Trump really the only possible GOP candidate with the stones to question Obama’s birth certificate? I know that Romney is a fake conservative, but I expect more from Pawlenty, Palin, and even my boy Herman Cain. Atleast Huckabee was willing to go there. At this point, anyone with any sense knows this is a valid issue and that something stinks here.
There is more than just the birth certificate though I tend to think it is just as likely the real/true original certificate is in a Kenya hospital as in an Hawaii hospital. Be that as it might there is the related fact that his father was absolutely not(by his own admission) a USA citizen along with the fact that at birth his mother was to young to pass on citizenship to Obama. If Trump is really serios about Obama’s history he should be raising these facts for uncovering/erasing his quandry.

My daughter, born in SoCal, was required to produce her long form birth certificate for a passport. She had the short form, certified copy but the Passport Office told her that people born in California, along with several other border states were now required to produce the long form. The short form is no longer considered sufficient proof of place of birth.
I was not aware of any state having passed such legislation. I know that several have given serious consideration but they all would, if passed, apply starting with 2016 election. Thus Barry gets a free ride.
Nobody will be allowed to prevent Obama from running and nobody will be aloud to unseat him due to his constitutional ineligibility because to do so, the country would immediately be consumed with racially and class motivated civil war,
Whats up? Notice no anti birthers on this thread yet and I also noticed it on a couple others. Interesting aint it. In the past they were in in about 20 post’s
But Hannity was far more interested in pursuing President Obama’s birthplace struggles,......
"birthplace struggles????????" LOL! Another Communist "kinetic labeling" that misses the target by a few miles!
Honorable long ping list, any of you have "birthplace struggles", please come forward!
“Kinetik birthplace” for a citizen of the world, is much better, confusing term! I advised 0h0m0llah to use this engineering, intellectual term, no need to no stinkin’ “war,” which he misspelled because of public AA education.
Papa Alinsky, LMAO because of the mistakes of them Communists-in-training...I'll fire Cass Sunstein who should have regulated this embarrassing crap!
In the book titled "Propaganda and Persuasion" by Garth Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell they explain the methodology of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's chief propagandist, in his defense of Hitler. Goebbels used some cardinal rules for successful propaganda from Hitler's Mein Kampf.
Here are some of the rules that Goebbels put into operation, in defending Hitler.
Avoid abstract ideas and appeal instead to the emotions
The American People voted Barack into office, let’s move on.
Constant repetition of just a few ideas, using stereotyped phrases and avoiding objectivity.
“…the White House in fact has published President Obama’s “birth certificate” several times, but the copy presented was not sufficient..”
Put forth only one side of the argument
The White House continues to repeat the lie that a “birth certificate” was released. When a journalist confronted Robert Gibbels to release the document that lists the hospital and delivering doctor the White House press secretary ridiculed him while the room filled with willing presstitutes did nothing.
Constantly criticize enemies of the state
These people will never be happy. This birth certificate is all about an African-American becoming President and people are not happy about that.
Identify one special enemy for special vilification
All together now . . . . . . BIRTHERS!
GOSH! Great News!
When the Airhead, Hannity, finally takes on the issue of Obozo’s Birth, it can only mean Hannity finally understands he can’t cover up the total Abberation and Terrorist that Obozo and his Controllers are anymore!
Thank GOD for Donald Trump stepping forward and calling a Spade a Spade!
RUN DONALD, RUN! DONALD FOR PRESIDENT, 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have one question for the “late to the dance” Sean and others....
what the hell took you so long? AS SOON AS they rammed/pushed through Obamacare against the will of the majority of Americans...
he and they should have already been asking....
who the hell is this guy and more to the point....
who the hell does he “think” he is????
Where’s the conspiracy in asking for a birth certificate? Please explain.
I’m not in the WND weeds. In fact I’m a late-comer, only getting real curious after Gov Abercrombie came up empty. That’s when it came on my radar.
But again, what is conspiratorial about wanting to see a BC?
I always believed and posted that he won't dare run.
PSYCHOkinetic-the purported ability to move or DEFORM inanimate objects-—like dead braincells.
“Now, that is a conspiracy theory.”
You’re very right. I’ve been researching Obama’s background since March, 2008, and I cannot explain why so many people are willing and ready to cover for this man.
Dr. Polland recognized the forged COLBs that summer of 2008.
B.H. Obama II said on one of his online sites BEFORE the election that he was registered, by his father, as a British subject shortly after birth.
Obama II is a British subject and not a U.S. citizen.
He has spent a great deal of money keeping his records, almost all of this records, out of the public eye.
At this point my research has narrowed his birth to either Kenya or Vancouver, BC (Canada).
He doesn’t have a long form birth certificate from Hawaii and never has had one.
Why he hasn’t been in trouble for producing a forged government document (the Hawaiian Department of Health COLB) is beyond me. If anyone else had done so, I’m sure they would have been charged with a felony. Obama seems capable of getting away with committing crimes.
Therefore I won’t be surprised when a forged Hawaiian birth certificate suddenly appears.
