If he can help to paint right wingers as idiots, it will help him when he runs for reelection in 17 months. I agree, but he also screwed this up. Should have waited until after Trump makes some big announcement about what he's found / hasn't found in Hawaii, then say "oh, so you spend millions to have shady detectives snoop around people's private records... trying to find this?" (not that Obama should say much about privacy after refusing to repeal Patriot Act for 2 years, and the new TSA body scanners. But that would be politics as usual.) | ||

They don't like the idea that they are bigots so they hide behind the nonsensical statements like "I take his word for it, BUT... (insert crazy here) It is so infuriating for non-white Americans when they hear/see stuff like Trump/Hannity/Rush are putting out there. It just confirms the suspicion that it doesn't matter what someone of color does e.g. Come out of a single parent home go to college, continue one's education at some of the nations top Universities Columbia and Harvard, Graduate in the top %'s of one's classes also be the president of the Harvard Law review. Then instead of going into some commercial application of one's education one chooses to go into some of the most desperate communities in America and try to help them help themselves. Then be a professor of constitutional law at Harvard. Also write a book about your story. Become a U.S. Senator. then go on to win a historical election to become the President of the United States.... And still.... STILL some wealthy white (or orange in Trumps case) will question ones legitimacy as a Student, an Author, a Professor, the President, and most disgustingly his allegiance and citizenship to and of the United States of America As pathetic as that is, it would be of little consequence if SOOO many people didn't buy into it. For the apologists that have and will make the argument "There are SOME crazy people everywhere/ on both sides/ or that there are legitimate concerns regarding the aforementioned nonsense" It's simply not the same It's not a "few crazies "It's roughly 50% of the republican party and just about 25% of The population meaning over 75,000,000 people believe that crap of those roughly 75,000,000 people the vast majority must be Racists, Bigots, Idiots or some combination there of. Most of which are just to cowardly to admit it. Post Racial my @$$ Glad to see the TL community is not as gullible at least about 90% of us Please everyone do your part to shut these RL trolls down whenever possible whether they are your friends, family, or just some stranger... Don't let people get away with such regrettable behavior TY | ||

I disproved the layers thing to him already. Now he is using the race being African, the missing seal, and saying that it isn't the right color for a birth certificate as his argument. I know that it isn't fake myself, but could someone cite some sources that disprove this? I really want to shut my dad up lol. | ||

My dad still believes that the document is fake. Well he's been going on about this stuff for months, and since they released this document I kind of want to shut him up.

I know that it isn't fake myself, but could someone cite some sources that disprove this? I really want to shut my dad up lol. Not much on the certificate but might help out n order to maintain the belief that Obama is NOT an American citizen here are some other things YOU MUST BELIEVE That the CIA is secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President..... That the FBI is secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President..... That the NSA is secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President..... That the Homeland Security Agency is secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That the Director of National Intelligence is secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That the Entirety of enlisted US military Men and Women are secretly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That all the State of Hawaii officials relevant are secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That Joe Scarborough is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That Michelle Malkin is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That David Horowitz is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That Michael Medved is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That John Avlon is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That Ed Morrissey is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President That Andrew Walden is secretly/publicly covering up that Obama is a foreigner who illegally became President And that John Hawkins who said "Barack Obama is a shameless liar" But ""Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

If you really want to get a message across to your fellow Americans you're better off shutting your mouth entirely, and instead take into action the ideals and values you know to be good. Leadership begins with the people working together to solve our problems, not debating over them until the become so tired and worn out that neither side knows which to believe without just attaching themselves to the opinions of their peers. | ||

Do you have any idea how scanners, computer graphics, or .pdf format works? Here's a source explaining why these things happen with scanned .pdf files. It's a conservative source since I know if I linked anything else they'd also undoubtedly be part of the grand conspiracy to you: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/265767/pdf-layers-obamas-birth-certificate-nathan-goulding Really though, it doesn't even take knowledge about scanners/graphics/pdf to get this. If the whole thing's a conspiracy, do you really believe they don't know how to fucking flatten an image file? Please give your shadowy puppetmasters more credit than that. | ||

Its very sad to see that this is your only form of argument regarding Obama's nationality. I honestly would expect a bit more from how much the republicans are blowing this out of proportion. Such a sad day when an issue this small can divide a nation... | ||

Or maybe people just love fighting an easy battle, love looking down on others with moral superiority, love to be self-righteous and shocked and appalled at people dumber than they are. Yeah, we get it, the issue is absurd and wrong. Some people won't agree, and they are trolls. There is no point in debating them except to stroke your own ego. This issue is so simple really. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If a group of people don't like someone, they are going to accept any damaging rumors, whether they have evidence or conviction about it or not. It's really not that shocking to be quite honest. In politics people have been vilified as racist, fascist, socialist, uneducated, over-educated, murderers, synonymous with hitler, George Bush doesn't like black people, I could go on all day. So now someone gets accused of being born in a country other than the one he claims. My god! How could we live in such a world! And Obama makes an announcement to gain easy political points and suddenly he was a victim of vicious and hateful racists who forced him to go to these lengths to finally "get to the important matters." People are less cynical than I thought... | ||
