Dan Pfeiffer, former assistant and senior adviser to President Barack Obama, thinks he knows the exact date the modern era of fake news was born: April 27, 2011.
“I had walked into the briefing room that morning with 50 copies of Barack Obama’s birth certificate,” Pfeiffer recalls in a memoir, “Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump,” set to be published next week. “So we could prove once and for all the man who was in his third year as president after winning an historic electoral landslide was an American citizen and eligible to be president.”
According to Pfeiffer, Obama first raised the idea to release his birth certificate to him while walking to the Oval Office.
“Maybe we should put the birth certificate out and be done with this,” Obama said.
“But you know we can’t do that, right?’” Pfeiffer responded.
Obama said he agreed, but “I could tell he didn’t really mean it,” Pfeiffer writes.
A few weeks later on a fundraising trip to Chicago, Obama spent the night at his home.
“Whenever he was home, often alone, he would root through all his stuff; on this particular trip, he was going through a box and found what he believed was his birth certificate,” Pfeiffer writes. “To this day, it isn’t clear whether he stumbled upon this document or went looking for it. I have always suspected the latter.”
“Excited about his find,” Obama brought it back to the White House and showed it to White House counsel Bob Bauer.
“Bauer took one look at what Obama had in his hand and knew it wasn’t his actual birth certificate,” Pfeiffer recalls. “Instead the president had found a ceremonial document sold in hospital gift shops.

Fake news was born in 1968
Very likely her “file” was shown to her by kgb-dims.
What a load.
First, he found it in his grandma’s closet. Then he found it in his Chicago attic. The Gov. Pothead found a note of it somewhere on a post-it note before he admitted he couldn’t find it but he stuck to his story that “he was there.”
That very poor cut and paste job he tried to push off to the lying msm is no more real than Sun Yat-sen’s Hawaiian BC.
Don’t you suppose the Ministry of Truth has already eliminated or “corrected” any problem documents?
Dan Rather was doing fake news nearly a decade earlier. Kinko’s.
Newsies have been manipulating ‘news’ for decades.
There’s always “both”.
“You may also disagree with binding precedent regarding the meaning of ‘natural born citizen’ as established in Minor.”
Actually, if you go back to my posting history you will see that I agree with just about everything you have posted including your interpretation of Minor!
Sadly, what the Constitution means is whatever a majority of the Supremes decides that it means on any given day.
Small problem: Presidential school/college records and real birth certificates are not National Archives materials.
Hillary’s campaign launched the, “birther movement”.
Thanks for your informative post. After reading your post, I’ve checked out on Wikipedia the career of former archivist of Congress, Mr. Allen Weinstein and his abrupt departure from the position of National Archives just a couple of weeks before Barack Obama took office. Weinstein was clearly a brilliant, highly educated man and seems to have been a straight shooter who delved into evidence, no matter where it led. According to Wikipedia, he at one point thought the perhaps Whittaker Chambers had been innocent of being a spy against the U.S.. After much interviewing of Chambers and more research, he concluded that Chambers was indeed a Communist. How convenient that an accusation was brought against him, already getting up in years, and not proven, as far as I can see. Who would have benefitted from that accusation? If one were reading a mystery novel, one would think that Weinstein could have been counted on to dig for original documents once Jan. 1, 2009 rolled around a couple of weeks later. Maybe it’s not such a coincidence that Weinstein left right then.
The Obama campaign knew that they had a big problem and unless they did something about it, Obama could not be elected President. What they decided to do about it was brilliant and very effective. Obama lied about his citizenship status to get into a prestigious college because his academic record was not stellar. But, as a mixed race foreign student with an Indonesian passport, he could qualify for admission to Occidental and later to Columbia as a transfer (very rare). the only problem is that when he decided to get into American politics, he needed to be an American born citizen, which he was.
In order to conceal the real story of a man who denounced his American citizenship in order to obtain admission on false pretenses. This was easy to do, he had become an Indonesian citizen when his mother married his step father, an Indonesian citizen. When Obama turned 18, he could have regained his American citizenship and had he done this, he would have been qualified to be President. But, Obama did not do this. Instead he masqueraded as a foreign student and rode that fraud through his college career. What they decided to do about this was to plant a false story that he was born in Africa and may not be a natural born citizen. This plan worked beyond their wildest dreams, and the truth remains buried to this day.
This accounts for the millions of dollars that they spent to steal, conceal, and change documents and to ensure that no one could have access to the original birth certificates, the college admission documents, the State Department records, and the people who knew where the bodies were buried.
That’s my take on all of this and I’m sticking with it.
I remember listening to the radio ads from Chicago WLS and WBBM when Obama first got into politics. They always included references to Obama being of Kenyan birth.
Were they going to vote on which one they like best?

Loretta Fuddy was allegedly also a member of the SUBUD CULT.”
Fuddy -was- a member; that is documented .
Where is the documentation that Subud was 0’s dad?
Indonesia...
This guy’s book is TRASH.
Talk about “FAKE”. Obama is a total FAKE.
No one knows who he really is or where or when he was really born.
The only BC that I believe to be REAL is the one with the footprint from KENYA.
And that is when everyone realized there was some there-there.
The Clinton’s PI team went all the way back to the department of education and the health department in Hawaii.
There were NO records found for him. They were trying to find out who he really was and came up empty handed. That’s a fact.
The only scrap they found was the Barry Soetoro school record from Indonesia when he was purportedly 7 years old.
That’s it.
The Registrar then codes the information into a database,””’
Clarify what you mean by a ‘database’.
Obama was born in 1961. I do NOT remember computers & ‘databases’ verbage then.
