On Thursday night, Donald Trump finally acknowledged an obvious, proven fact: President Obama was born in the United States. Or, rather, Trump's campaign said that he acknowledged it, in a statement that was itself riddled with falsehoods.
"Hillary Clinton’s campaign first raised this issue to smear then-candidate Barack Obama in her very nasty, failed 2008 campaign for President," the statement begins. That's untrue — and it's been fact-checked any number of times. In 2011, Politico outlined the origins; in May, our fact checkers dubbed it ridiculous.
"This type of vicious and conniving behavior is straight from the Clinton Playbook. As usual, however, Hillary Clinton was too weak to get an answer," the statement continues. Again, Clinton wasn't looking for an "answer" to the non-question of where Barack Obama was born because her campaign wasn't pressing the issue. Even before the release of Obama's long-form birth certificate, an announcement of Obama's birth was found in a Honolulu newspaper. His 2008 campaign had released a statement of live birth demonstrating where he was born. Anyone who asked the question for whatever reason had the answer in front of them, if they chose to see it.
"Even the MSNBC show 'Morning Joe' admits that it was Clinton’s henchmen who first raised this issue, not Donald J. Trump," the statement goes on. Whether or not someone on "Morning Joe" said it — a show, we will note, that has spent an awful lot of time of late disparaging Trump — that doesn't make it true.

"an obvious, proven fact: pRresident Obama was born in the United States."
Never been proven, beside their bleating. They hope by repetition, it will somehow become reality.
I don’t for a second believe Obama was born in this country. And I agree that Trump doesn’t either. But something like this would be a disaster to fight over as he takes the lead with 52 days to go. Many things will be discovered about Obama in a trump presidency. Trump has always been a bit of a contrarian-conspiracist so this scares the crap out of Obama.
Sure. Suuuuuuuure.
Seems like only yesterday when a few good ole conservative folks began diligently pasting page after page of arguments in favor of Obama/Cruz POTUS eligibility.
Why, those two rabid right wing reactionaries!!!! /s;)
Exactly! CULTURALLY, he is NOT “American”!!!
I will say this... Most Americans of any race have certain things which bind us. A certain mentality. It may only be evident in certain circumstances, like the 9-11 horror, where 19 Islamof**ks, mostly Saudi committed mass murder... But Obama lacks that, as evidenced by his attendance at Rev Wrong’s Church for all those years.
When did Stanley Dunham encounter Malcom X?
You ain’t crazy. All the Dem elites; Clintons , Obama’s, Pelosis,Quisling Reids, the whole lot of then are scared shitless of Trump’s win. Exile in a place without an extradition treaty may be an option.
The reason that all this started to begin with, was, Zero ordered all his records sealed - from grade-school on - a rather remarkable action from a one-term unknown and unremarkable politician. It is unarguable that his father was not and never became a US citizen, and that Zero had several relatives found to be living illegally stateside. So it was and remains reasonable to have questioned who Zero was in light of his and his families’ deceptive practices. It also remains questionable whether Zero ever fit the natural born citizen requirement, which some people believe means both parents must be natural-born citizens (and, preferably, their parents, too). Because of the unsettled definition of ‘natural born citizen’, this election cycle we saw challenges to the requirement with the candidacy of Rubio and of Cruz, and we can expect more challenges going forward.
What shows the hypocracy of the Left is, we were supposed to accept Zero’s citizenship at face value and without questioning - without a birth certificate or school records or even employment history - and not to do so would be ‘racist’. Yet eight years later, Melania is being racked over the coals by reporters regarding her citizenship status, as Trump is lambasted by the Left for wanting a strong immigration policy when he ‘has an immigrant wife’ (as if one has anything to do with the other).
You mean to tell me our Marine Corps-es don’t come from 57 states, and it really was “all this just for a !@# flag,” and “God Save the Queen” wasn’t played as background music to celebrate the infinite wisdom of the words spoken by our prez?
What a let down!
I have no idea.
I am merely pointing out a similarity in dentition.
I'm going to point out one other thing.
I don't believe for a second that this guy -
- is The Usurper's father.
No Way, Jose'
I also don't intend to argue about it because (as the Wicked Witch once said) "What difference does it make?"
“Obvious proven fact...”
I doubt Obama himself knows where he was born. His mother was rutting around the world with God knows who.
It only says “a boy”.
No name for the boy was given.
Oops, I mean I think it said “son”.
