Sarah Palin Backs Up Donald Trump, Obama "Birther" Crusade
by Free Britney at .In February, Sarah Palin said the "birther" issue - whether President Obama was really born in the U.S. - was a "distraction" from more important issues.
Over the weekend, though, Palin defended real estate mogul Donald Trump's recent attempts to raise doubts about Obama's citizenship, saying:
"I appreciate that the Donald wants to spend his resources on something that so interests him and so many Americans, you know more power to him."
Perhaps fueled by Trump's rise in the polls, former Alaska governor's remarks on Sunday seems to signal a shift in her opinions on the "birther" issue.
"Obviously there is something that the president doesn't want people to see, that he sees going to great lengths to make sure it isn't shown," she said.
"And I think that's perplexing for a lot of people."
The issue is perplexing from either perspective.
Long ago, the president released a certificate of live birth which many non-partisan watchdog groups say definitively proves he was born in the U.S."It's kind of ludicrous at this point," Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the former director of Hawaii's Department of Health, said in a recent interview with NBC.
Fukino says that he has reviewed Barack Obama's birth certificate more than once and said that "birthers" and other doubters will never be satisfied.
Even Bill O'Reilly has called out Trump for his grandstanding, while others, such as John Legend, have alleged that "birther" allegations are racist.
What do you think? Was Obama born in the U.S.?

The requirements to run against Obama is a dialogue without the Gargantuan Fear of the Race-Card being shoved down ones throat. Very Few have that Nerve :: & for a Woman to have it; Say Like Palin is Almost Revolting... One could Somehow Rationalize A Man like Trump having more Nerve than Oneself!! So he may Need to be the Candidate ??
Fuck all of you. The motherfucker is not from this country he is anti-american and he is out to ruin The United States and he is doing a pretty good job. If he was born here he should just show it and move on, but he can't because he was NOT BORN HERE. So get yall's heads out of you'r ass's it's not about race it about saving this country from the worst president in US history.
donald trump and palin is true. they tend to say old stuff. what's new? true that they say old things but never new stuff. we want new things if we say things not the way it is. what is things? not some rubbish talks
Dumb and Dumber.
I agree that it's a race issue. Nobody would be asking any questions if he was white. Whether or not Trump realizes it, he's being extremely racist, and it's not cool. It shocks me that crap like this is still happening in the US. How sad.
