Donald Trumps 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, Youre fired.
However, Trumps 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 ABCs 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 magazines 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 Trumps 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." Weigels 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.

Donald Trump must have thought long and hard before coming out with his challenge to Barrack Obama. He had to know how he would be hung out to dry by the leftist media and anti-Americans in government. May God bless him and protect him! It’s about time someone had the courage to speak out for what is right and legal! (It is very troubling that no one has done so before now. The courts have been so corrupted that any suit has small chance of being heard.)
Unlike most, Trump has the resources to do the research.
Obama better hope that Trump doesn’t make this his bone...
PLEASE, stand up and read the list of missing documents and then demand them all while the press stands speechless!
I would almost rather know if he called himself a foreign student for admission and college tuition reductions! That would prove the conflict of interest that the framers of the Constitution were trying to prevent.
What is his legal name and has he lied about it officially? I think possible felony convictions would be a better way to attack him.
only a bufoon would fail to see it's an image that Trump has used to great effect.
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.
I see the Variety Dancing Boy managed to completely avoid the issue of the birth certificate, and instead engage in a spittle-flecked personal invective salvo.
Hey Brian, answer the question.
I wonder if the kid in the back with the stick is the one who gave obie the scar on the side of his head? Maybe as a tyke Obie needed a good a$$ whipping?
Doesn’t matter where she was born, - - but whether or not she became an American citizen.
I think Trump has already done some research.
If he did he's done. No conservative will support him and whether the GOP realizes it or not, without conservatives they lose every time.
you know...I think I got the exact same comment from someone else the last time I posted that picture. LOL
Do we know which hospital, what time, delivering doc, nurses on call? It’d be easy to verify.
Has a doctor, nurse and any hospital admin come forward?
I hope he craters Obama... as opposed to working a “DeaL”
Well if Gov. Neil Abercrombie wants to end the controversy he should immediately request that the Hawaii state Legislature formally recognize the Doctor that gave birth and brought forth into this world the first African American President.....
Strange who is Obama’s Birth doctor? No one seems to know and there are no hospital records.... So he very well may have been born in Kenya and when his mother returned to her parents house in HI they decided it would be best to claim obama as a born at home and went to the registrar and filed his birth....
Notice not a single newspaper clipping says he was born in a hospital, no Hawaiian hospital claims a record of his birth, so there it is ..... Born in Kenya to a Kenyan father Obama is a British subject not eligible to hold the office of POTUS.... but yet he is there....
You seem to have done your research. Was she naturalized before Trump was born?
Or... did you stop researching as soon as you found some dirt to smear on a conservative...?
I think trump is pulling a masterstroke here.
A leader who has never let up on Obama:

He’s got “something”...He’s not just looking for the birth certificate. He wants ALL the school records.
