Looks like he agrees with Trump.

Looks like somebody didn't get the talking points memo for today.

Donald Trump’s renewed questions

Huh. Did the media attend a different press conference?

This is odd. Since when does Obama let something like this go?

Desperate move on the part of the mainstream media working with Democrats.

For damn near the first time, I agree with Zero. The birther non-issue has always been asilly distraction from the left’s catalogue of failures at best and at worst it has provided aid and comfort to the enemy who use it to paint all conservatives as tin foil hat conspiracy nuts.

He’s right about the “more important issues.” He’s gotten away with it for all these years, his term is almost over, and the damage has been done.

I didn’t read the article, but I did watch the press conference:

He played them like a fine fiddle and saved himself another couple million in advertising!

The marxist muslim pimp press are running scared.

They foisted this enemy combatant illegal alien on the American people and are now trying to shift the blame.

Thankfully, the American people are not buying anything the media is selling. They know the entire federal gubbermint is compromised. The O’muslim regime was caught red handed shipping billions in cash to terrorist Iran.

Hopefully this gets blown wide open and we have mass treason hangings for everyone involved in this charade

Trump is not raising this issue now, it is Hillary and the Mediascum who are tag-teaming this. They thought they found a way to divert attention from all of Shrillarity’s problems while injecting a “racism” attack into the campaign, but some Trump judo flipped them upside down.

It IS about more important issues!

Such as reversing all the DAMAGE you’ve done to, ‘We The People’ in the past eight years!

FUBO

Removing all of the liberal judges, especially Kagen and Sotomyer the illegal president appointed is a pretty big issue as is reversing everything the POS has done while in the WH

Obama causes all kinds of havoc yet he is never attached to it. You know darn well he is part of this latest attack.

Yep. Professor Kenya loves to stay above the fray while his minions spread their poison.

Funny thing is, he gave that remark BEFORE Trump had his campaign event and added the birther remarks. Note that Trump campaign statement to the same effect was out, so Obama knew what the answer from Trump was going to be.

First thing I have agreed with him on this year. Maybe the last 7 years.

Wow! That old saying about a stopped clock being right twice a day seems to be true...though maybe I need to rethink that - we ARE talking about Barry Soetero, Kenyan wonder.

After nine years in the public spotlight, I have finally found something Obama and I agree on.

No doubt this a-hole will be critiquing Trump well into his Trump’s second term as President.
