Trump hammers away at Obama's citizenship question
The Associated Press ^ | April 7, 2011

Posted on 04/07/2011 2:28:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Real estate tycoon Donald Trump said Thursday he isn't convinced that President Barack Obama was born in the United States ,but says he hopes the president can prove that he was.

Officials in Hawaii have certified Obama's citizenship, but "birthers" have demanded additional proof. And Trump, who is weighing whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination, says not all the questions have been answered.

--snip--

....Since he was asked about it during an interview several weeks ago, the real estate executive said, he's looked into it and now believes "there is a big possibility" Obama may have violated the Constitution....

I don’t care where he was born. His father was NOT a US citizen and on that basis alone, he is\was not qualified to seek the office of POTUS


I’m with you on that point and wish that someone would clue Donald in so he has all the ammo at his disposal.

Trump,”. I love this country, but this country is going to hell. ... The world laughs at us. They won’t be laughing if I’m elected president.”


I’d almost vote for the guy on that statement alone.

Not so. I don’t see any congress critter or member of SCOTUS getting excited.

I think that those who knew all along that Obumbles was a fraud, are circling the wagons to protect his ass as well as theirs.

After all, if it is determined that Bambi is a fake, then they too will be led off in handcuffs.

"The world laughs at us" If Trump succeeds and becomes President, I suspect the world will not laugh at us or even The Donald with that comb-over. Leadership is respected, weakness is ridiculed. GO Trump GO!!!!!!

I guess the next act will be when (.)bama turns up with a bible that his grandmother gave him on her death bed with a notation he was born in Hawaii. Of course, (.)bama will have to explain how it is not entered in a Koran book.

Press Conference:

Uh, you see here, right next to page one on the cover scribled my name with the date of birth. This is uh you know direct evidence I was born in ah the 57th state.

First Question: The writing appears to be left handed writing and your grandmother was right handed.

(.): Uh, well, uh, she put the pen in my hand to jot this down. I was a child prodigy.

AP report: Documented evidence of Obama’s birth found, no further details as the matter is deemed closed.

Is Donald willing to concede that his own children would be ineligible under the "two citizen parent" definition?

Before getting too excited, remember Ross Perot.

Donald Trump can make a deal here that can net him some good government contracts if he just concedes that Obama is natural born.

This looks like a shakedown to me.

The Dept. of State has issued NEW rules for U.S. passports, including requiring a birth certificate, to wit:

Updated March 23, 2011

New U.S. Birth Certificate Requirement

Beginning April 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of State will require the full names of the applicant’s parent(s) to be listed on all certified birth certificates to be considered as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for all passport applicants, regardless of age. Certified birth certificates missing this information will not be acceptable as evidence of citizenship. This will not affect applications already in-process that have been submitted or accepted before the effective date.

[snip]

In addition to this requirement, certified copies of birth certificates must also include the following information to be considered acceptable primary evidence of U.S. citizenship:

Full name of the applicant

Date of birth

Place of birth

Raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal of issuing authority

Registrar’s signature

The date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office (must be within one year)

Can Obama obtain a passport now? Just asking.

OK, here's my fantasy scenario:

Trump keeps hammering away at the BC issue until a major, irrefutable piece of evidence surfaces...like, say, a interview with Granny in Kenya who swears in front of the cameras, along with 10 other people, that Barry was born there.

With irrefutable evidence, the House must begin impeachment proceedings, according to the Law. The impeachment stops of course in the Senate, which has a Dem majority. Clinton Redux.

All this takes place prior to the 2012 elections, and all Dem senators are the record for voting to acquit.

Meanwhile, more and more evidence against Barry piles up and he resigns under the pressure.

The election takes place and the GOP now owns the Senate with 80 seats as well as the Presidency.

This could be a game plan, y'know.....

Mayor Bloomberg of New York has his empire in a blind trust, doesn’t he?

Real estate (Trump's empire) is a totally different animal than an investment fund empire. Trump is successful because he is on top of all his properties every minute of every day. Bloomberg can just leave his billions invested in the stock market and make money.

In Donald's case, a blind trust would involve liquidating all his assets and having somebody else invest the proceeds for him.

Is that something that sounds like sound financial planning to you?

Does it sound like something a risk-taker and control-freak like Trump would do?

Can any Obot provide a coherent reason as to why Obama has spent over 2 million dollars (not his money) to hide all of his records? The answer is no. And the reason is they guy is a fraud. So people defending this fraud are themselves guilty of fraud.

Book em Danno!
