I thought the president would take a pass when I asked him about Donald Trumps rise to the top of the Republican field in my exclusive interview today.
Far from it.
He grabbed at the chance with a big smile saying he thinks the whole issue will be a problem for Republicans.
I think that over the last two and a half years there's been an effort to go at me in a way that is politically expedient in the short-term for Republicans. But [it] creates, I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He-- he doesn't have horns we're not really worrying about conspiracy theories or-- or birth certificates, President Obama told me.
And in all my talks with Obama I think it was the first time he was one the same page as Karl Rove who thinks the birther controversy is hurting the GOP.
The truth of the matter is that I think that the vast majority of Americans across the country Democratic or Republican really want this election to be about growing the economy, getting control of the deficit, preparing the future for our kids. And my suspicion is that anybody who is not addressing those questions
Is going to be in trouble. I think they may get a quick pop in the news. They may get a lot of attention. But ultimately, the American people understand this is a serious, sober time, he told me....

Dear, dear Mr. President: Are you even remotely aware of how most people now see you? You have become an effeminate joke. We, the American people, now see you for who you are, and we now revile you. Do not embarrass yourself by running again for president. Just go away and take your birth certificate with you.
“He uses the third person so that legally he can say he was talking about those people ( in general) who occupy this governmental position. If he use the word, I, then he would be lying. By using the third person he is not.”
I thought his use of third person was interesting too but he has said he was born in Hawaii before using first person. See the quote and link below. I also recall that he told a young student that he was born in Hawaii during some question/answer session. So he has verbally and in the first person committed himself to being born in Hawaii at least twice.
“I was born in Hawaii, what can I say?” Obama told Democratic donors in Boston. “I can’t change those facts.”
Trump cave?
Doubt it.
Cliff Notes version please.
Can't impeach him until we know for sure where he is from.:-)
“but he seems to be sort of passive/aggressive as he pretends to dismiss what he keeps addressing.”
Oh, absolutely!
I believe Trump has been very discreet about this birth question.He might be criticized for getting into the question but he is very careful not to step out of bounds as to facts. This irritates the obamanites to no end. To their dismay he has the manhood and the money to keep going.

Thanks to Freeper "Doctor Bulldog" for the photoshop.
Cheers!
In Revelation 13, the second beast acts in authority of the first beast. If SCOTUS made a secret ruling where Biden is the real Acting President, this would fit in with Obama-Biden being the two beasts. So this is where the horns would come in.
good point
The first beast arose form the ocean... Hawaii?
Of course he still isn’t offering to show his birth certificate. You can’t show something you don’t have.
...the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He he doesnt have horns sounds pretty sheepish to me.
******
And then President Obama suddenly took out his Hawaii long form birth certificate out of his pocket and held it up to the tv camera so that all America could see, and then he said: "See, I told everybody that I was born in Hawaii, but those damn birthers did not believe me. Take that Donald Trump, and slide back into the hole you crawled out of, because, Donald, this long form birth certificate that I hold in my hand clearly shows that I was born in Hawaii at Kapiolani Hospital as I have always said."
And then I woke up and turned the tv off.
You will note that not one birth certificate conspirator has questioned the quotations I posted earlier. There is no doubt, as both Morrison Waite and John Bingham told us. Some part of the public does not want to discuss truth.
How likely do you think it is that should Obama continue to campaign - he may not - he will bring out the birth certificate he told us about in one of his books? Chester Arthur used the same ploy, hiding his birth records, to distract the inquisitive from looking into the naturalization of Arthur's Irish father (which didn't occur until Arthur was fourteen).
If Trump doesn't clearly address the real issue, natural born citizenship, his purpose will have been to separate those with real concern for our Constitution, those who understand why our framers required that our president be a natural and not a naturalized citizen, from the radical fringe preoccupied with manufactured mystery around Obama’s documents. He will be playing Ross Perot.
Obamaprobably was a mediocre student, may have falsified Illinois Bar documents, probably has falsified his military registration. But he has told us he ia not a natural born citizen, and never told us he was. That fact, repeated and repeated, invalidates his presidency. It is the determining issue, which is being obscured by completely unnecessary conjecture about birth certificates.
I believe he has a birth certificate, and when he produces it the embarrassment will silence the public about the real and important issue, the real concern which caused John Jay to ask Washington to be sure natural born citizenship was in the Constitution, about which Jay wrote in the first four Federalist Papers - allegiance to our republic and our Constitution. Barack did not inherit allegiance for our republic - jus sanguinis - from his parents. He inherited hatred for individual freedom. He inherited a belief in forced redistribution - From each according to his ability and to each according to his needs. Our framers tried to protect us and we are being destroyed, most likely by the half of society which depends upon redistribution for survival. Our governemt workers and beneficiaries of transfer payments want Obama to stay. It doesn't matter that he is intentionally destoying what is left of the private sector.
Obama does it again. He just thinks he’s soooo funny.
“The president joked about the “birther” issue at a fundraiser Thursday night in his hometown of Chicago. As he described his deep roots in the city, he noted, “I wasn’t born here” referring to Chicago. Then the president paused and chuckled as the crowd at Navy Pier broke into knowing laughter.
“Just want to be clear I was born in Hawaii,” the president said to more laughter.”
