Obama releases fake document to quell the angry masses who are onto him

Why he thinks us good, decent Americans will buy his PDF document and cast aside our concerns over him turning this country into a communist-socialist-dictatorship is something I can't understand.  You can't buy my complacency with a faked document Mr. President!

(P.S.  The above is me roleplaying a birther.)

Sarcasm?

disclaimer below leads me to beleive it to be a satire

Okay, because it's a stamped, signed and dated certified copy that is as legitimate as the original and because the state retains the original in its possession a certified copy is all you'll ever get to replace the original given to the parent(s) at birth.  I've dealt with certified copies of real estate documents from the same originator and they are accepted as true and legal documents.

OMG IT'S WHAT EVERY BIRTHER HAS BEEN WAITING FOR FINALLY THE TASTY MORSEL THAT CONFIRMS OUR FEARS ABOUT BARACK BIN LADEN HUSSEIN JIHAD OBAMA--



Oh, right, it turned out to be nothing.

[Remiel]

I'm not buying it.  It's obvious to me that this "Obama"  guy is a genetically-engineered clone, artificially implanted into a surrogate parent.  My guess is that he has been cybernetically enhanced as well.

[Vekseid]

There's apparently a Cyborg Palin comic. Obama's name is, naturally, Robama.

I just read something pretty funny. Evidently Donnie Trump said he would tie the release of his tax statements to the release of Obama's birth certificate. The big rumor is that Trump actually isn't worth that much.

I do have to say that the request of the birth certificate has a very sad, quasi-Fascist feel to it. As though you need to prove your pure-blood American.

For a bit of sarcasm, since this thread has a bit...I didn't need grade transcripts to prove Bush was an idiot.

Darn that Obama! Obviously Trump knows what he is talking about. He is a man who is completely successful on his own (given his father basically giving him the chance which most people won't get) and he wants to support everyone in the US and let them live in prosperity (specially himself with his extra tax cuts he can give) and he knows full well the birther's are right (since they give him extra votes). Now excuse me while I get ready to go to the polls. Down with Death Councils (because free health care for all will kill you much more then no healthcare at all will) and taxing us americans (that 95% of us probably would not get with those taxes, nor would be effected at all by those taxes).

@Bush Comment: Honestly Bush is a cool guy, I don't mind him. He just wasn't really for being a president is all. Wait... I thought Cheney was the president? *Insert further puppet bush statements here*

[Beguile's Mistress]

Trump is a businessman and a celebrity.  He also has a very high opinion of himself.  He's been up and down so many times in his financial career it's hard to count. 

His final words today after he took credit for the release of the copy of Obama's birth certificate suggested that now we need to investigate this document to see what's on it, whether it's real and that the information it gives is true.

I'm afraid he's not going to let this go and neither is the media.

Actually, not to nitpick (okay, to nitpick), but Bush's transcripts from Yale  show that he was clearly not an idiot.  His grades weren't exactly stellar, true, ranging in the 70s and 80s; but Gore's were little better, and John Kerry's were about the same.

Sorry, that's just a pet peeve of mine.  You can say that Bush was an ineffective and incompetent President; you can disagree with his policies or what he stood for.  You can even point to one of his various malapropisms.  But to say he was a "moron" is incorrect.

I really dont understand why he didnt do this during his campaign when the issue first came out. I mean there have been protesters across the country asking to see it. Why wait over 2 years to correct them? It just doesnt make sense to me but whatever the issue of his place of birth was never an issue for me so it means little except showing his delayed action to American citizen's concerns

[Beguile's Mistress]

The document he produced earlier is the document used in the state of Hawaii for proof of birth.  It should have been sufficient for any reasonable person.

I think what happened is that Trump appeared to be implying that people born in Hawaii weren't legal citizens of the US.

The document the President released today is something Hawaiian law doesn't provide in the normal course of events.  A special court order was needed to obtain it and a lawyer had to travel to Hawaii to received the copy.

Why should the president be forced to provide something no one else does?  Why do people think they have the right to bully someone into doing something just because they think they're so powerful?  It wasn't necessary unless you're an unreasonable person like Trump.

1. Note sarcasm.
2. "Moron" can be synonymous with "incompetent." However, I didn't use the term "moron," I said "idiot" defined as a "foolish or stupid person."

There is no requirement that a President must produce a birth certificate showing his citizenship. We honor the word of a Senator/Governor/President when they say they are American. Why in this instance? I never saw Bush's, Clinton's, Bush's, Reagan's, Ford's, Carters, Eisenhower's, Lincoln's....birth certificates. Why is there a faction that require President Obama to show his?

[Serephino]

Well, George Washington wasn't born an American citizen.  Neither were John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and a bunch of others I can't remember the names of anymore.  That would mostly be because they were born well before the Revolutionary War, therefore, they were born as English citizens in English colonies.  But maybe we should get all upset over that too....

He didn't wait. He released the short form certificate, which was all even he had access to, and is supposed to be legally sufficient for proof of birth. He had to make a special request to get the long form certificate released, against Hawai'i's normal state procedures.

Can we request Sarah Palin's school transcripts? I want to see Donald Trump's birth certificate. Or how about Ron Paul? Was he even born on this earth?

I'd like to see Donald Trump's tax returns.  That's a requirement anyway.  Imagine the feeding frenzy when those documents are released.

Because they voted for somebody else, and they think his name and skin color are enough to make their position sound reasonable.  Personally, I think they need to put their big boy and girl pants on and deal with the rest of his term, the same way that those of us who voted against any other sitting president did.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this Cyborg Palin and Robama comic? That sounds hilarious.

The Founding Fathers got a pass on that because they were born in the Colonies. Anyone after that generation died, had to meet the requirement of being a natural born citizen.

This entire matter is idiotic.  Trump is a blow hard and a jackass.  Why we pay such attention to him is beyond my understanding.  And to now hear him demanding to understand how Obama got into Columbia and Harvard is insanity.  If he has questions about the admissions practices of these institutions, shouldn't he ask them - not the students.  Are we now supposed to blame Obama for having dared to apply? 

[Sabby]

I'm not buying it.  It's obvious to me that this "Obama"  guy is a genetically-engineered clone, artificially implanted into a surrogate parent.  My guess is that he has been cybernetically enhanced as well.

Thanks for the new background
