The three times that Governor Palin has been asked about the BC issue. As you see below, she has been consistent with her thoughts and comments on the topic. Please READ what is there, not what you want it to be.

Sarah Palin on the BC issue:

December 3, 2009:

Rusty Humphries: One of the questions Jason asks is, would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?

Governor Palin: I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue, I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make that an issue, because I think there are enough members of the electorate who want answers.

Rusty Humphries: Do you think it’s a fair question to be looking at?

Governor Palin: I think it’s a fair question just like I think past associations and past voting records, all of that is fair game. You know, I got to tell you too. I think, our campaign, the McCain-Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area. We didn’t call out Obama and some of his associates on some of their records and what their beliefs were and perhaps what their future plans were. And I don’t think that was fair to voters to not have done our jobs as candidates and as a campaign to bring to light a lot of the things that now we are seeing made manifest in the administration.

Rusty Humphries: I mean, truly, if your past is fair game and your kids are fair game certainly Obama’s past should be. I mean, we want to treat the men and women equally. Right?

Governor Palin: Hey, you know, that’s a great point. In that weird conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn’t my real son. And a lot of people said well, you need to produce his birth certificate, you need to prove he is your kid, which we have done. But yeah, so maybe we can reverse that.

February 17 2011 Interview with Kevin Law at the Long Island Association :

Kevin Law: There is still, into his third year as president, there are still some people out there still questioning President Obama’s faith and citizenship. Do you question his faith and citizenship?

Governor Palin: I don’t, and those are distractions. What we are concerned about is the economy and we are concerned about the policies coming out of his administration and what he believes in in terms of big government and the private sector. So no, the faith, the birth certificate, you know, others can engage in that kind of conversation. It’s distracting, it gets annoying and let’s just stick with what really matters.

February 9, 2001 with Judghe Jeanine Pirro:

Judge Jeanine: Alright Governor, Donald Trump who is considering a run for the presidency says that he’s got investigators in Hawaii, looking for President Obama’s birth certificate. What do you make of that?

Governor Palin: Well, I appreciate that the Donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans. You know, more power to him. He’s not just throwing stones from the sidelines, he’s digging in there, he’s paying for researchers to find out why President Obama would have spent $2 million dollars to not show his birth certificate. So you know, more power to him.

Judge Jeanine: What do you think of the fact that the president is refusing to show his birth certificate? And I’ve heard that number before, $2 Million Dollars, that he is spending to not have to show the birth certificate. There is a difference between a birth certificate apparently and a certificate of live birth, but what to you think, is that relevant?

Governor Palin: Well, you know, I think that he was born in Hawaii because there was the birth announcement put in the newspaper. But obviously if there’s something there that the president doesn’t want people to see on that birth certificate, that you know he’s going to great lengths to make sure that it isn’t shown. And that’s kind of perplexing for a lot of people. But you know, again, Donald Trump – he may get to the bottom of it because he’s spending the resources that probably would be necessary to do some investigation.
