Jay Carney lamented Tuesday that the conspiracy theory about President Obamas birth is getting serious attention while more important matters are getting overlooked.
CNNs Ed Henry asked the White House press secretary to react to Donald Trumps seemingly constant presence on TV, in which the real estate mogul has stoked the myth that Obama wasnt born in Hawaii. In response, Carney said that CNN itself had reported a highly credible piece on an established fact that the president was born in the United States of America.
This was a settled issue, Carney said, calling it unfortunate that for whatever reason, that instead of focusing on the economy, unemployment, the deficit, energy, education and foreign affairs, that this is the subject of that gets any kind of serious attention.
I'll leave it at that, Carney said. But then Henry asked about the birth certificates release, to which Carney replied, the birth certificate that the campaign put up online has been available for everyone to see online around the globe.
Carney said the document can be used to get a driver's license, and that anyone who was born in Hawaii uses the same documentation.
I just think this is, it's a distraction, Carney said. And it's an unfortunate distraction. ... Anybody who is watching this exchange, the West Wing of the White House, would be appalled or most Americans would be appalled.
So a person using the actual long form certificate couldn't get a DL in Hawaii unless they use the crappy cetification of live birth? I think not, and not EVERYONE uses the certification as proof. Carney of course probably doesn't even know the difference between the two documents, the same goes for most of the sycophant media in the briefing room.
Barry’s first press secretary was a clown, but this guy is even worse. Where does he find these people?
This was a settled issue,
No, it was just thought to have been successfully buried by the media and whatever money Obama was using to keep it that way.
Hey Jay, can you explain why BO has spent around 2 million dollars to keep the long form sealed? Just wondering.
Well CNN says so....................so what?
on all theses BC threads, ive yet to see one person show up in the major media on tv with a copy of the long form bc that was used in Hawaii in 1961, and compare it with the bogus COLB the teleprompter and fraud had posted....and start asking questions and making points from there.
Most people dont seem to realize the difference.
the birth certificate that the campaign put up online has been available for everyone to see online around the globe.
Note he didn’t say it was Obama’s birth certificate. They carefully parse the language to avoid tying Obama to the COLB. A smart reporter would phrase the question so that Carney has to say “the COLB that Obama released”
HOW IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH CAN HISTORIANS SIT BY AND LET THIS GO??
Isn't there ONE journalist allowed in the Whitehouse?
“Where does he find these people?”
...a clinic that specializes in frontal lobotomies.
Mordor.
Trump has done no such thing. Trump repeatedly says he believes that Obama was born in Hawaii.
But he (Trump) also says that he wishes Obama would release his Birth Certificate because it might show something important.
Bread and Carnivals
Yep and a littlemore static electricity in his hair could help him along with a new career as being a dancer in that Footloose movie Kevin Bacon was in. I swear every time I see him I think about him dancing the part of Kevin Bacon.
Anybody who is watching this exchange, the West Wing of the White House, would be appalled or most Americans would be appalled.
They really don’t want an investigation of Obama’s birth.
Simple question for any of the news morons to ask Jay-BO:
“Jay, is President Obama a natural born citizen?”
Of course, you're being paid to think it's a distraction; you have a vested interest in it being a distraction, and were you asked "how does the BC controversy make you feel?" Does this remark answer a question that was asked? Or are we just playing "how does the Presidents Chief Flack feel about things today?"
Jay, is President Obama a natural born citizen?
Yup, that is the question they do not want, nor have an answer for, because he isn’t one.
