The head of the RNC even calls it a non-issue. At this point, I'm just going to look at the birthers the same way I look at the 911 conspiracy and moon landing is faked types.

They want to believe something so bad thier brain has just shut down.

Seriously some people need to get a life. What are you going to do? Build a time machine to 2008 with the *evidence* and change history? Sheesh, call for the mothership.

I agree with the President when he said now we can get on with real issues. This birther thing is idiotic and pathetic.
However the President has said with his statement get down to real issues. While this has been a read herring it has not redirected the issues and the president has been to long not addressing any issues. Polls show people are worried about Jobs and the economy and the President has not effectively addressed those issues in fact he has ducked them.

The problem is you don't know if people really believe what they write. People view politics like sports. If their position is to oppose Obama, they will resort to any argument to oppose him. There are already people who ask if his long birth certificate is real. You don't really know if they believe that or if they are just posing the question as another strategy to oppose Obama

Why were my threads selectively merged with the Birther threads but the pro-Trump threads like this one were not?

Hawaii? You really think it's real? Have you ever been there?

Yes, but the man with the terrible hair brought to light the issue of why the incompetent president with the awful ears refused to submit the long-form birth certificate, adding fuel to the fire that something may have been amiss.

He should have produced the requested documentation, not merely the certificate of live birth, from the get-go. Be done with it, period.

Americans called Africans negro; Africans do not call themselves that!

I have an African co-worker. When I met him for the first time he introduced himself as African, from the country of N___.

It's a big world out there! Step out of the box!

The ACTUAL OFFICIAL STATE CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE is what he released from the get go. That should have been enough (as its valid proof under the LAW) for anyone who isn't bats*** crazy.

He didn't force anything. He just whined like a 5 year old until he got his way. Just like any conservative........
