Trump Takes Credit For Obama Releasing Birth Certificate…

He’s probably correct, only because he brought the fact that Obama had not released it back to the forefront.

(The Hill) — Real estate mogul and possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed credit Wednesday for President Obama’s decision to release his long-form birth certificate.

Trump, speaking in the key GOP primary state of New Hampshire, said he hoped the release of Obama’s birth certificate this morning, authorized by the White House, would put to rest questions about the president’s birthplace.

“Today I am very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else was able to accomplish,” Trump said after landing in the Granite State.

Trump expressed some lingering skepticism of the birth certificate’s veracity, saying he wants to examine it, but said he expected to be able to move on.

“I hope that it’s true so we can get on to much more important matters. So the press can stop asking me questions,” he said. “I am really honored to have played such a big role in hopefully getting rid of this issue.”

    It seems to have the hospital, physician, seal, etc. So unless someone from Hawaii steps forward to say it is not the one they certified was on file or someone from his inner circle screams fraud or something similar, it satisfies me. If it is a fake, he’s had every spook in the CIA working 2 years to create it perfectly on government paper so it doesn’t matter now anyway. Looking forward to see how it plays out now.
    Funny how all those people kept saying to drop the issue, drop the issue, drop the issue and it turns out the true believers pressured Zero into dropping it himself. It scared him plenty.

    Isn’t this a strange sequence of events?

    Governor Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, tired of all the ‘Birthers’, announces that he himself will release the president’s birth certificate. Then only days later, he announces that he cant seem to locate it.

    So how was the White House able to find it?

    April 27, 2011 at 10:23 am

    Sorry, now I am really skeptical….and, it is NOT the birth certificate. Once again, it is my understanding that Hawaii has both a birth certificate and a certificate of live birth – the certificate of live birth is for anyone and can include those not born in Hawaii – with what is on this COLB still raises the question as to why this was so super-secret in the first place (if it is true)?

    So fine, let’s accept this – now keep up the disclosures. Let’s see the rest of this jackass’ records – I still want to know how he went to an American school on a foreign scholarship.

  11. ReedArc says:
    April 27, 2011 at 10:29 am

    A certificate of live birth can be given to those included not born in Hawaii. It’s a certificate of …live birth. Jesus Christ, you people are morons.

    Please, do everyone a favor and get behind The Don for 2012. Lets make this country even more of a word laughing stock.

    I detect a snake in the grass….. Trump; who has contributed in the very recent past to Schumer, Weiner and Emanuel, who is a recent convert to the Pro-Life movement, who said Bush should be impeached and that berry is wonderful, comes out gunning for the birth certificate and runs himself way up in the polls for Republican candidate. berry creates (I mean releases) a “birth certificate” and Trump immediately claims credit. Now Trump beats the drum for berry to create / release school records. All this right before the release of Jerome Corsi’s book.

    I know people like stuff Trump says, but I have to ask the question; who is he really working for? berry and his ilk?

    It’s not the same we’ve seen . . .it’s been altered. Notice the difference between the two images.
    Earlier version can be seen here – http://tinyurl.com/3gvywov
    The earlier version lists the baby daddy’s race as “Negro-African” whereas today’s version is simplified to “African”.
    The baby momma’s race is also noted as “Caucasion” on both.
    The significance of these racial identities comes into focus when considering the pubished standards don’t use any of those racial identities in 1961 as revealed here http://tinyurl.com/3awdj9k

    Section 5: Natality
    “. . .Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian, and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and “other nonwhite”.

    In 1961, the correct racial terminology would have been Negro and white.

    What this revised COLB does do, is confirm that BHO Sr., a Kenyan citizen of the British Crown is Jr’s daddy of record. This in and of itself disqualifies Jr. from claiming “natural born” status. Jr. can only claim “native born” status which does not meet the qualification necessary under the Constitution of the USA:

    No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office”

    The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

    Gee. The real reason to release anything on Obama’s birth today is to suck the air out of the horrid mess he’s made of the economy which Bernanke’s Press Conference will clearly show.

    Sorta like “Go ahead, talk about my birth all you want suckers. That happened years and years ago and I wasn’t even there at the beginning. Just move on past that inflation/stagflation/interest rate/gasoline/food stuff.”

    We’re such fools no wonder we’ve a Marxist President.

    Why did they scan what looks like a single page from a book?

    Why not just scan the original document? (the one that was created in 1961 should be flat)

    Is this a reproduction of a reproduction of the original?

    The timing of Brewer’s ‘distraction’ comments and this release is odd. It’s as if she set the stage for Obama. It seems very coordinated. Also, I’ll know whose side Trump is on if he pursues school records for real results. Otherwise his hot air up to this point looks like one big manipulative stunt.

  21. deez says:
    April 27, 2011 at 10:49 am

    Birther nonsense aside, it isn’t just a coincidence that immediately after the first high profile questioning of Obama’s grades and test scores (by Trump), Obama finally releases his birth certificate?

    Red herring, anyone?

    They’re hoping this gesture wipes clean any and all doubts we have about Obama’s past. Just as they hid the birth certificate and started the birther controversy to divert the media’s attention from inquiring into Obama’s grades/scores before the election (before the MSM threw their support behind Obama over Hillary), they now trot it out just as Trump brings up the grades/test scores issue in order to deflect attention and focus.

    Obama’s handlers hoped they never had to play this card, but Trump was getting too close to what they were really hiding. They would have been happy labeling everyone who had doubts about his birth fringe lunatics for the next 5 years (and by the comments here, they’ll still be busy–and with good cause).

    The entity of “Barack Obama, world savior/world’s smartest president” comes tumbling down if it is shown that he was a poorer student than the “imbecile” Bush, aka “world’s stupidest president”. That house of cards must be maintained, at whatever cost.

    They hope Trump starts patting himself on the back for getting the birth certificate released instead of pressing forward on the grades/scores.

    wtd,

    There have been several presidents with immigrant parents, namely Andrew Jackson who had two immigrant parents and still somehow made it to president. Further, later presidents such as Hoover had immigrant parents as well. Plus, John McCain was born on Panama (on ‘American soil’). Funny, how no one questioned his Constitutional credentials. I mean, did we truly know for certain that his mother didn’t accidentally give birth to him partly in Panama?! Where was the outcry. Further shows the racist undertones to this entire pig circus.

    Can’t wait for you guys to move on to his ‘academic records.’ You are laughable. Also, cite your SCOTUS cases, which you use for support.

    Ditto what gastor and sniffy say.

    I’m sick of this shit and got an idea. Why doesn’t Trump, or hell, me for that matter, place an ad in the Honolulu paper asking to see ANYBODY’s birth certificate born there circa 08-1961, there’s got to be thousands of them. I would like to know exactly what the hell we are supposed to be looking for, show me a similar document from about the same time.

    You don’t suppose the funny business about Obama’s birth certificate started around the late 1970′s do you?

    Barry would have been searching for a college around 1979, and his grandparents would be helping to send him off.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but it seems to me that “The Donald” is playing the part of the school bully, has Bumbles by the scruff of his neck, and just got him to give him his lunch money.

    I don’t see Trump going anywhere, he just floored Bumbles and he knows it.

    No matter how this plays out, Trump has been brilliant. He is showing THE WORLD just how easy it is to knock Obama off balance.

    I’m just surprised more people don’t see it.

    The only reason this ever became an issue in the first place was because Obama is playing games. I can tell he thinks he is winning something here. I think he’s a phony and everything he says is a lie.

    Its released the same day Bernanke is going to make a press conference. Hmmm.

    And it appears that its the long form of the same COLB he showed before. Unless my understanding is wrong.
    I dont think its any different….?
    Its not a “Birth Certificate.”

    No foot prints, fingerprints, or stamp with state seal.
    And of course anyone doubting this will be mocked continuously.

    Whether you like or trust Trump or want to second-guess his agenda, I’m glad he kept hammering away at the BC question and hope he keeps it up with all the other hidden information. Nothing revealed today changes anything. Am I the only one that thinks this was “coincidentally” timed to be releaseed right before Corsi’s book”Where’s the Birth Certificate”? It’s already #1 at Amazon. I hope it makes “team obama” nervous.

    Trump may be a lot of things but first and foremost he is an American businessman and capitalist. What Barry Soetoro is doing to the country has got to be eating at him.

    April 27, 2011 at 12:23 pm

    To the poster who commented on the fact that John McCain being born in Panama made his natural born status questionable – he is considered natural born because he was born on American Territory, and both parents were citizens of the U.S. His father was stationed there at the time. This question was asked, and answered back in 2008, when McCain was running for President. McCain, himself, insisted on checking that out, to make sure he was eligible.

    Regarding Andrew Jackson being president, with immigrant parents, refer to:

    The grandfather provision of the “natural born Citizen” clause provided an exception to the “natural born” requirement for those persons who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. (The first several Presidents prior to Martin van Buren as well as potential Presidential candidates such as Alexander Hamilton were born as British subjects in British America before the American Revolution and this grandfather clause would cover them.)

    As far a Hoover was concerned, his parents were immigrants, but they were citizens of this country. Obama’s father is not, nor never was he a citizen of the U.S. In addition, he would have had to have resided here at least 10 years. Which, he did NOT.

    I don’t care about this now. At one time I did, but if the records didn’t exist before, they do now. We should be putting all of our energy into moving this POSER out of 1600 Pennsylvania, Ave. The courts are not going to do anything about any technicalities under the law, and the bulk of people who voted for OBAMA, knew that he “HID HIS PAST/INFORMATION” and they didn’t care.
    So what makes anyone think any revelation now, will matter.

    The only thing I care about, is getting someone in office, who loves this country and has a plan to turn us around from the downhill spiral that OBAMA OWNS.

    He’s right, it’s TXE or TKE, not THE (you can check other H’s in the stamp). I’m thinking with this and some other problems people are noticing that it was put together quickly as things heated up with Trump, Corsi and the net; it was not a 2-3 year production. If so, all the better. It looks Zero may have been Alinskied into a false step.

    As important as this document is, you’d think that fake or genuine they’d be a little more professional about it.

    Here’s the link to the official Whitehouse PDF:

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf

    I’ll try to make this very simple so the trolls can follow along. What that pdf shows is a cut and paste inserted onto an official blank background. It’s so obvious as to be almost not worth mentioning. At the bottom of the page is a certification, by the State Registrar for Hawaii Department of Health. That certification is not part of the pasted document which contains the birth information. Let’s pause for a moment so the trolls can absorb that.

    Let me repeat that: That certification is not part of the pasted document which contains the birth information.

    Without question, someone has manipulated this document electronically. This isn’t proof of anything other than incompetence, but does raise some questions like: What was originally certified? Did the Registrar fax a blank, certified piece of official paper? Who did the image manipulation for the administration?
