Trump: 'Why Can't He Produce a Birth Certificate?'
National Journal ^ | 03/28/2011 | Katy O'Donnell

Posted on 03/28/2011 7:58:34 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Real estate mogul and potential 2012 presidential contender Donald Trump defended his questioning of President Obama’s birth certificate Monday morning with a defiant, “this guy either has a birth certificate or he doesn’t.”

“I am really concerned,” Trump said in a phone interview on Fox & Friends. “You have no doctors that remember, you have no nurses -- this is the president of the United States -- that remember. … He could have been born outside of this country. Why can’t he produce a birth certificate?”

Trump, who has been flirting with a run for president, first made a remark about the so-called “birther” issue last week on The View. Obama provided news organizations with a scan of his birth certificate during his 2008 campaign, which some oulets also independently vetted.

“I brought it up just routinely, and now I’m starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country,” Trump said Monday.

Agreed. Trump knows a fraud when he sees one.

It's like the kid who said the King has no cloths. It's become obvious. Every person in America is now looking at Obama and thinking the same thing.

We are witnessing the unraveling of the greatest fraud in recorded history.

Even better SR511 isn’t even binding. Its jsut a statement, and a false one at that. Juan isn’t an NBC either.

What’s really strange to me was the trip to see the dying grandma. Where are her friends that knew little Barry while she was raising him? Did she really die? What about the perfect timing of her death? Who was she? It’s all so strange.

In conjunction with the BC question, Jack Cashill has some very interesting info on the Obozo’s current SSN. Apparently the Obozo’s SSN used to belong to someone else and is issued for the state of Connecticut. The problem; the Obozo has never worked or lived in Connecticut and the SSA didn't reuse SSN when the Obozo’s was issued. Smell that stink??

You forget that Obama Sr had this little problem of getting his father's blessing on the marriage. A very necessary Kenyan custom my friend. With a wife pregnant, it makes that blessing come easier with a Father-in-law who doesn't like whites because of his dealings with the British.

Hard to register for selective service when your college transcripts document you are foreign born and grew up in Indonesia.

Good point. You would think that some of these folks would still be around and during the campaign you would have expected to see the MSM interviewing a bunch of them gushing and gooing over how great Barry is and wonderful he was as a child and maybe his high school basketball coach etc. I’m not remembering any of that.

Perhaps. It could also be said that we’d have been much better off with Juan MeInsane. The bottom line is that George Soros was dumping big bucks into each of them. Would we have REALLY been better off or would the events simply gone at a much slower pace so as not to wake the sleeping sheeple?

It is actually very simple, if one pasues to think about it. Barry the bastard had to have a valid BC with the name Barry Soetoro on it in order for his stepfather to register him in Indonesia to go to school. Every other BC lie from the bastard and his media whores flows from the squelching of that truth.

What I find really stange, is I was curious what the DUmmies at DU were saying about all this, and I can’t find a PEEP on their breaking news, general discussion, or politcal forums!

VERY interesting... I can’t believe they haven’t heard about Trump and the certificate! I wonder if Skinner banned them from talking about this?

It seems to me, some time ago, someone who was in college with him during his Harvard years, said that they never actually saw him in a class.

Not remembering seeing someone in college isn't that big a deal. I recently found out that a coworker and I were classmates in college, graduating at the same time with the same major from a fairly small university. We do not remember each other from college. People who weren't big socializers, and who spent their time studying alone when not in class, won't be remembered by anyone.

Oh really? Consider this.

Let’s suppose that you and I were working as doctors or nurses on the OB floor, at either of the two hospitals in Hawaii at the time Obama reported being born in both of them.

Wouldn’t it be reasonable to think to yourself, “Hey, I wonder if I were in the birthing room when Obama was born?” or, “I’m wondering if I delivered the president of the United States?”

Wouldn’t it be reasonable to look into the medical records of the hospital to see if indeed you were in the room the day he were born?

Wouldn’t it be reasonable for the administrators of these hospitals to look into it, and if confirmed place a plaque outside the hospital as the birthplace of the president?

This whole thing has been crazy from the beginning.

What if you are a serious biographer of the president, and wish to do research. Where are the school records, the transcripts, stories of his living quarters etc.

Every single American born in this country has a paper trail a mile long. Why not this guy?

I understand your point of view, but the reason that Trump was chosen is that to make it go mainstreasm without that tin-foil nut case angle. Once the genie is out of the box ,it is very hard to put him back in. I think that Americans will be shocked and PISSED when they find out who they actually elected. The question is who will the Democratic party lay the blame on. The GOP are fools if they don’t make the most of this.

During Obamas speech to the infidels tonight, look for his face to begin twitching.

This is the last thing he needed after starting a war for the Arab League.

I said the same thing you did before I read what you wrote. See, this is the normal response and thought on the subject.

Hillary doesn’t want to touch the birth certificate issue because she was on the Senate Judiciary Committee which wrote and passed SR 511 saying McCain was eligible and others once thought not eligible were in fact eligible (Obama). Claire McCaskill (Dem-MO) and Obama wrote the resolution but it was co-sponsored by (Repub-OK) Tom Coburn. Both parties violated the Constitution in order to get their candidate on the ballot. Repubs thought McCain could beat Hillary. Hillary thought she had the nomination sewed up because she had enough delegates, so there was no need to expose Obama. They and us got screwed when Howard Dean illegally forced Hillary’s delegates to switch votes to Obama. They are all guilty. That’s why Congress will not admit the truth and hold hearings. THEY ARE ALL GUILTY!!!

Also, it was the proper thing to announce the birth of a child and his parents rather than it being a single mother giving birth to a black child.

"The GOP are fools if they don’t make the most of this."

The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to provide an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party.
