Hmmm, OK, well, I'm already not liking trump... We got a HUGE mess in the USA and all this guy worries about is Obama's birth certificate? Sounds like he's more into making a stupid movie ... We got high gas prices, jobs, energy problems, deficit woes, etc...etc...etc... and all this guy can think of is this?

Who gives a shit. Well, maybe the Obama haters might... Next we'll have Palin showing off her certificate. I don't wanna see a fucking birth certificate I wanna see some sort of brain function you know some intelligence.

Sigh... he already sounds like a brain dead blow hard.

All I want to know is, under "hair", does it say poofy?

Great, another election of non-issues and sideshows.

I can't wait for us to fix zero real problems for 4 more years.

Birtherism is a desperate form of denial, which Trump and others play like Eric Clapton plays the guitar-

When you're campaigning against the likes of Michele Bachman, the standard for "Bat-Shit Crazy" has been set awfully high; Mr. Trump has to have more than his hair to set him apart.

its. already. been. released.

Anyone here from Hawaii? Go try and get your "long form" birth certificate. You can't. When you contact them online or in person or by mail and request your birth cert you get what obama has already posted online for all to see, verified by various news outlets. The FBI accepts it when you apply to work there. The CIA accepts it. The State dept accepts it when you apply for a passport.

Trump keeps his hair the way it is b/c it hides the scars from the surgery when he had that monkey brain transferred into his skull.

A couple of years ago I requested a replacement birth certificate from North Carolina, and received a Certificate of Live Birth remarkably similar to what President Obama has provided.




Why didn't my parents tell me I'm Kenyan?

He's probably already sold the reality-TV rights for his presidential campaign, but is still deciding which Kardashian to have as his VP.

Ant dumps grain of sand, demands we do the same.

 

[HeXen]

This, tbfh.

This whole thing is really amazing. Forget the birth certificate, it was posted in the fracking newspaper, lol. So I guess everyone knew in 1961 when he was born he would be president so they started constructing a lie of where he was born.

Donald Trump appears to be a closet Democrat. Perhaps some kind of partisan double agent...

 

[FuzzyBee]

The whole birther thing is ignorant. There are many more important issues to have with our President.

Agreed.

Can someone clear something up for me? Isn't Obama's mother American, so why does it matter where he was born? Aren't all children of American citizens automatically become an American citizen?

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Just because Trump was born in the US doesn't prove he's human.

I try not to respond to threads like this, that are worthless; an 'I'm not replying to this thread' post might help make the point, but also adds to the responses.

Anyway, to answer your question, it appears there is a provision in the law that would be an issue IF Obama were born outside the Unites States.

It requires that if only parent is a US citizen, they had to live in the US 5 years after the age of 16, and she was only 18.

Here's the link from snopes - they now have it set up as a web page where you can't just cut and paste:

1. No, and the rules have changed from time-to-time. Under the rules at that time, he would not have automatically been a US citizen if born abroad. IIRC, something about many years the mother had to have lived in the US as an adult.

2. The Constitutional rerquirement isn't to merely be a "US Citizen", it's something like "Natural Born Citizen" which many understand to mean actually born here in the USA. But, AFAIK, it's never been taken up by the SCOTUS so there is disagreement over that.

Obama takes the hair clippers to his scalp. Demands Trump does the same.

 

[sportage]

Talking about Trump and or Palin. The best way to waste ink, hot air, and time standing in line at the cinema.

 

[manimal]

who thinks being a birther labels you as a complete idiot?

Basically.
