Thank you Donald Trump for forcing Obama to be clear with America.
Yeah we need someone who distracts us from the REAL issues that plague our country and instead focus on myth and urban legends. I believe he should move on to Mitt Romney's father who was born in Mexico which makes him part Mexican. Trump is a moron who no one respects. Get a haircut.

I think it is embarrassing that the President didn't tell them all to shove it.

He really has no backbone whatsoever.

Now all the undecideds will at least regard the birthers, and by extension the GOP (fairly or not) as being biased, unreasonable kooks.

As the Russians say, "Obama is ****ting on you from a high tree."
Actually, by taking the wind out of Trump's sails he has done the GOP a favor.

And if he didn't show it, then they'd push even more, causing a massive gridlock for other matters.

Your defense of Obama becomes more and more elaborate, but the fact remains a TV game show host forced him to do what the press could not. It simply doesn't show Obama to have much intestinal fortitude, You can spin it iany way you wish, but Obama is damaged goods.

By the way the right is no more involved in this than the left is involved with the truthers!

President Obama made Donald Trump lick his boots in public and the birthers are now morphing into "deniers"....its so sad

Possibly an unintended side effect.

Seriously, how deranged do you have to be to focus on this b.s. when there are much more pressing issues to worry about.

Get a life.
That's what Obama said and then moved on to the more pressing issues of appearing on Oprah and going to NY for a fundraiser.
