Donald Trump’s calls this week for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate prompted negative reactions from pundits who would like to turn the tables on Trump and say, “You’re fired.”
However, Trump’s comments, made most recently in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, also garnered support from those who wonder why Obama has not supplied documentation of where he was born.
Trump rekindled the longtime controversy Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” when he said Obama was “probably” born in the United States, but he wants the president to prove it with a birth certificate.
As for the critics, Brian Lowry of Variety got personal. “More than anything, Trump looks like a buffoon — an egomaniac hopelessly addicted to the spotlight, floating the prospect of a presidential run to a gullible media to boost interest in himself and ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’" Lowry wrote on the magazine’s website.
“Moreover, he seems in complete denial about the fact that his NBC show crested some time ago. Seriously, 8 million viewers or so is ‘through the roof?’ Only if the ceiling is about three inches above your head.”
David Weigel of Slate magazine took up Trump’s challenge to show him a photo of Obama as a child. “I've seen 14-year-old,” Trump said. “I've seen 13-year-old. I haven't seen early pictures." Weigel’s column includes a photo of Obama as a child that appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 2008.

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a friend of Obama's parents in Hawaii who said he remembers when the future president was born, first vowed to produce an original copy of the president's birth certificate this year.
But he abandoned those efforts because it is against state law to release private documents, CNN quoted his spokeswoman as saying.

ROTFLMAO>>> You SO owe me a new keyboard!!!!!!
LMAO
IOWs you have nothing and are just bloviating like BOR. Those who have proof aren’t afraid to show it.
Your theories are blown up by the most cursory examination of the evidence, the application of the most basic of common sense, and the briefest examination of the law, and you think I should devote more time to silliness of so-called evidence, which mainly consists of out of context quotes from barry’s grandmother, historical quotes which are not law, and outright forgeries? I suggest you take a breath, turn off your computer, and go live your life for awhile.
Dude, you cannot verify a document from a picture of a document. You can only do so with the document itself.
Be that as it may, where Obama was born is irrelevant. His father was British, and born under the British Nationality Act of 1948 by his own admission. Being born under the jurisdiction of two nations means you can be Natural Born of neither.
Obama was not, never could have been, and never will be a Natural Born Citizen of the United States. Citizen, most likely. an Hawaiian COLB says he is most likely a citizen. However, Natural Born... utterly impossible.
I’m not afraid to show it, but you already know it...

And now for the mindless conspiracy attacks on the source that refutes them
My my my. What a statement from the resident Obozo Troll, my little friend “jamese777”. First time I ever remember you admitting that it requires 2 parents with United States (not just American) citizenship to father a “natural born” United States Citizen.
Now tell me what qualifies Barrack H. Obama, Jr. to be a “natural born” United States Citizen as the Constitution requires? (hint: it is not possible, if Barrack H. Obama, Sr. is his father)
Also, not even one of the 535 members of Congress has stated that Barack Hussein Obama II is ineligible due to not having two American citizen parents. I wonder why not?
I wish the word “parents” was actually in the US Constitution so that there could be absolutely no doubt. It would also be great if there had been a law passed by Congress which stated that two American citizen parents are required in order to be a natural born citizen.
But, alas...
I think what qualifies Barack Hussein Obama II as a natural born citizen is that no court and no act of Congress has ruled that he doesn’t qualify.
Every state allowed him on their ballot, he collected 69,456,897 popular votes, 365 members of the Electoral College voted for him, 535 members of Congress certified his Electoral College votes, without any written objections and the Chief Justice swore him in.
LOL
Do you know who funds Snopes?
Do you?
Have you asked that question yet?
Its red pill blue pill time.
God bless him! He has courage.
You know when you start using Snopes as a cited source you’ve lost it. LoL.
Lying on the Internet is not a crime, of course, so birthers don’t have anything to fear. Forging a government document, otoh, is a felony, you dimwit.
Exactly. Anyone quoting snopes doesn’t know who is funding snopes. Unless they are liberal of course. In which case its something like the bible or something.
CConspiracy theorists are so damned predictable
There are no experts named in that Snopes page having verified the jpeg Gibbs put on the internet. You have nothing. Of course I will discount your source when it doesn’t even pretend to back up what you claimed. lol
Well twit-head, you find BS'ing as your second nature.
