I think that would be the "Birther Fraud"

Are you serious? What other President has ever had to show their birth certificate to the public? Your logic here is seriously flawed. You honestly don't think Obama passed all the legal steps to become President? It's been hilarious watching Republicans like you run around thinking he was born in Kenya and claiming his religion was Muslim on his birth certificate (and even if it was, so what?). Now, you guys are looking dumb. The rest of Americans were past that back in 2008. The Repubs held onto it for dear life. LMAO.

And sanrene, that poll is all Republicans. Democrats and Republicans did not believe the birther crap like the Republicans and Tea Party did.

No way around this - this is a HUGE victory for Donald Trump, and not because the birth certificate will reveal the President is NOT natural-born. No, it's because one man was able to force the hand of the most powerful leader in the world.

Look - I don't even have to look at the long form of the birth certificate. I know the President was born here in the US. But the fact that President Obama was forced to give in to a so-called "fringe" element of the public shows, in my opinion, that he feared this would be more hurtful than helpful for this Presidential run. The Democrats will no longer be able to claim an "advantage" of the birther movement for their campaign contributions. Sure, there will be people who won't believe anything and continue with the conspiracy theories. But that's never going to change.

It wouldn't surprise me if some mainstream Republicans were asking for this privately as Donald Trump was damaging the GOP (in their eyes).

Maybe a backdoor deal was reached There's my crazy theory for the day.

thank you Trump for exposing the birther fraud for what it was.

He was FORCED to capitulate, due to the fact the issue was causing him damage.

Thank you Donald.

Obama loves attention.

Why? When has a President ever had to do that? It's not like Obama was pushing the issue. It was the Republicans and Tea Partiers.

Pretty much this.

There really wasn't a reason for him to release it, and the American public just shows their stupidity yet again.

^ this

While I don't like Donald (anti-gun pro-war progressive), he definitely succeeded in forcing Obama's hand.
