Barack Obama Birth Certificate Released; Donald Trump Immediately Takes Credit
The White House has released Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate.
The document proves that Barack Obama was born in ... East Africa! Barack Sr., that is. Lo and behold, Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th President of the United States of America, was in fact born in Hawaii, which has been established for years.
Anyway, now you know. Again. Donald Trump says you can thank him, too!
Obama directed the White House to release the certificate because the Commander In Chief didn't believe the distraction was good for the country.
Of course, the conspiracy theorists will probably still not cease, asking why it took so long, claiming that it's obviously fake for various reasons, etc.
Real estate mogul and possible 2012 challenger Donald Trump, who's stoked the flames of this "birther" controversy for weeks, had this to say:
"I'm very proud of myself," he says, adding, "We have to see if it's real."
The Apprentice star said, "Today I'm very proud of myself, because I've accomplished something that no one else has been able to accomplish."
"I want to look at it, but I hope it's true so that we can get on to much more important matters ... he should have done it a long time ago."
Trump says of the document, "We have to look at it, we have to see. Is it real? Is it proper? What's on it? But I hope it checks out beautifully."
"I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue," he said of his bread and butter.
What say you? Is President Obama a natural-born citizen?

President Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya, at the Coast Province General Hospital on August 4, 1961 at 7:24PM. I have a copy of the certified certificate of birth, appropriately signed, stamped, and registered. Both parents have to be U.S. citizens, they are not, she must have lived in the U.S. for 6 months prior to his birth, she did not. The family was attending a Muslim festival in Mombassa, the Mother had been refused entry to an airplane due to her 9 month pregnancy. It was a hot day, and while swimming in the ocean, his mother experienced labor pains and was taken to the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:24PM.
Four days later her mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth, but omitted the place and hospital of birth.
The local Imam in Mombasa named Barack with his middle name Hussein so his official name on his certificate of birth is Barack Hussein Obama, II.

I'm sure you all have watched a magic act? While the magician waves one hand, and he's attractive assistant struts across the stage distracting you, he executes his trick with his other hand. Ponder this: What was happening while everybody was arguing about the birth certificate?
You are losing your country and most of you don't even realize it, or care.

I believe that old age and senility is creeping in on Trump,and he is Not listening to what he is saying. He is just talking loud and saying Nothing.He has No platform,he just comes out every day with a different complaint and No answers to solve problems that are in the lives of everyday people. Everything with him is on a grand scale of talking about other countries like China when the majority of the manufactured clothing and ware that he is selling with his Trump label comes from China. Dare I even mention the fact that his wife is foreign born,but yet he outrageously questioned the birthplace and education of The President. Tired of Trash Talking Trump!!

Aside from an obvious forged and layered document that no "OCR" could produce, the REAL issue is that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. Citizen yes. Natural Born Citizen, no. Under both British and American laws Obama Jr. was born a British Subject. Under the 14th amendment you have to be under US jurisdiction to be born a citizen. Obama SR. was not. He was temporarily in the US on a scholarship. He maintained a legal DOMICILE in Kenya at the time. If you maintain a domicile in Kenya then you are here in the US temporarily. At no time was he naturalized. At no time did he renounce his British status. The courts have ruled that if you are here in the US temporarily or a foreign diplomat then your children are NOT US CITIZENS under the 14th amendment. Ann married Obama Sr. so under both British and American laws at the time, Obama Jr. WAS a British Subject at birth by virtue of his father. He is ineligible to be POTUS. Releasing this document is the same as shooting yours

I want to remind the world that Mr. Trump, regardless of his "aura of mistery", he like everyone in this country have the right to question a public figure and the President's is a must. The Presidency represents each one of us Americans and he should be a respectable/honorable citizen. This country has too much to loose and we should care who has our best interests at heart. One thing that I didn't expect, Mr. Trump in the circle of questioning the President, I am sure Mr. T. is no saint and he is not questioning the President personal morals; just the right to be the President or not. It is time that we have control and teach the meaning of HONOR, RESPECTABLE, WORTHY, CONSIDERATION, FOWARDNESS, BRAVERY, LOYALTY, LOVE, FORGIVENESS TRUSTWORTHY, FAITHFUL, REPUTABILITY, COHESION, BELONGING, MERCY, CHARITABLE, PATIENCE, BLESSING and applying them again and again, that is what foreigners admire when they visit and so many want to be part of. There are many more intelligent words and t

All indications of the birth certificate is a day too late, too arrogant to procure a document that all americans have to present in many occasions (passport, social security, and now for a driver's licence and etc.). The sad thing is that some people in government that should have been taking care of the matter are too afraid of "offending" or being called "racial".
Personal and professional interests play a big role in the presidential position. Most of them have no interest of honoring GOD much less this country, maybe family... it is what it is, ME FIRST and only ME. In many other countries the President should be born from both parents/grandparents born in local country and married to same birth unless parents are overseas at the birth of such person, it will be citizen through parent's nationality to which the President can be selected. Another consideration the SECURITY CLEARANCE level to which his parents status be classified for. I don't think that was placed on the way

Race card being played again. Typical.

Why is the address of the hospital different than the birth certificate of Susan Nordyke, one of a set of twins who were born at the Kapiolani Hospital in Honolulu on August 5, 1961. Obama CLAIMS to have been born on August 6th. Therefore, this certificate form is EXACTLY THE SAME as what would have been generated for Obama.
The address of the SAME hospital is different! AND there are two signatures for the certification of Nordyke vs Obama, only has one!
I think this is a fraud.

by all indications Trump is going through a mid life crisis, and evidently Needs to have his meds adjusted. No one who has an ounce
of sanity would keep placing their rhetoric out there in the political arena and then take credit for being a catalyst for such an uproar as he has continued to do. For years there was an aura of mystery about Trump even through he was famous for his inflated ego. He waited all these years and Now he has become a bully and a member of the fool of the month club. Working around all those bickering celebrity apprentices has taken its toll on Trump. He Needs to get a life, and get over his obsession with President Obama.
