Lol. They just said on CNN while holding up the certificate that people will no doubt claim that is a fake too.

He released the official version, but it was not good enough.

He was forced to. He wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Does it make you mad that a supposedly "powerful" person was forced to do something based on what a lowly serf like Trump demanded?

Wow...CNN is such an objective, rational news source.

Eric Cantor on Fox is stating "It was silly for the WH to release this while we have other issues to deal with."

Completely agree with the guy.

Most polls show that the vast majority of Republicans claimed he wasn't born in America. Democrats and Independents did not. Very small percentages of those two groups believed he was not born in Hawaii. Stop trying to spin it.

Yeah really smart people never question authority.

I personally believe everyone who runs for the Presidency should have to prove they satisfy the eligibility requirements laid out in the Constitution: (1) Natural-born citizen; (2) at least 35 years of age, and (3) be a resident of the US for at least 14 years.

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

Untrue. A recent poll showed that even some Democrats questioned Obama's birthplace. Plain and simple, the tide (however small) was rising in the wrong direction for President Obama and he had to stop this nonsense before it clouded his re-election campaign.

Far more objective than Fox or MSNBC.
