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.

Oh if it were only the birth certificate he is hiding.
Kevin? Ward? IBTZ.
Asking someone for their proper ID is not irrational. Not asking is irrational. The Democrats demanded that John McCain present his birth certificate back in 2008 and it went before the Senate Judicary Committe for review.
“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?”
OF COURSE!!!!
If they took down Obama that way the black vote would have STAYED HOME on election day.
DUH!!!!!
Way to go newby. It was nice knowing you...
The inability of the Clintons to have delivered what would have been the knockout punch is the acid test here. If Oh-Bummer was not qualified to be President, and that could have been proven, do you suppose this would have been overlooked by Clinton machine? No chance.
I think there is SO MUCH MORE to it than the birth certificate issue, even just related to eligibility. I would like to see a few more on the right, both the politicians and the commentators, allow for the possibility that there is substance to the fact that he may not be eligible. Just at least leave it as an open question that others can pursue if they don’t wish to be seen as a “birther” or whatever......
> there is fundamentally no difference between the long form birth certificate and short form. They are both certified.
LOL! Except that you cannot get a drivers licence or passport with the short form according to Federal Law. - Try it!
Someone is certified all right.
“the bizarre notion that the infant Obama was identified at birth”
Utter bullcrap! Has nothing to do with that.
I don’t believe Obama was eligible but I am pragmatic about it and don’t trust Trump a bit.
The fact is that even if Obama were proven ineligible today, he would remain in office till the next election and his voters wouldn’t bat an eye at voting for him again. Meanwhile the power behind this administration would continue to do as they’ve been doing and nothing would change.
Better to get states to require proof and deal with the policies we can do something about.
The right’s version of the left’s 9/11 Truthers.
Blog pimp!
“Personally I think” “I think”
You DON’T think, more like.
IBTZ.
Thanks. I couldn’t have said it better.
It doesn’t matter WHERE he was born. If BHO1 was a British subject, and Stanley was not old enough to confer citizenship, then Barry is apparently not an NBC in any regard. If BHO1 is not his father, then maybe Barry IS and NBC, but that still does not address his mother’s alleged age status at the time of his birth or her ability to confer to Barry.
Let’s fire up the popcorn for Orville “The Donald” Redenbacher. Let’s see what he finds. I hope The Donald spends some time at Trump Tower in Chicago, takes a trip to Gurnee, and pokes around at the unsolved murder of Donald Young. More popcorn, please.
So, Ann will be able to sell one of her books to Kevin. I doubt it.
