Geeeezz..... You are as bad as Whell when it comes to posting links trying to make a point.

You may want to read the whole article... It correctly points out that the first time Obama released his birth records was in 2008 and he released (try to catch this.. ) NEW copies after trump started in with his nonsense.

If I were Obama, I would have just ignored the ass. Or publicly poked fun and laughed at him, like he did once before. I dunno, maybe that would be the wrong tack?

It appears that Obama has chosen the poke fun approach. He told Leno that Trumps problems with him date back to when they were both schoolboys in Kenya and Trump was jealous that he couldn't keep up on the soccer field.

And you might want to try reading this thread. I never contended the fact that the cert was already out there.

Wasilla, you stated that obama 'bowed to his (Trump's) pressure' and that Obama jumped to provide the information.
Obama did neither since his information was available to the public long before Trump started his birther nonsense.

You have to give it to Trump for self promotion. It would be interesting to see how many fools are sitting on Trump's casino stools talking about supporting his cause. After all they are only a few slot pulls away from being millionaires themselves.

Why can't Trump give 5 millions dollars to a charity with no strings attached?.....instead of having to humiliate another individual in the process.

Well, Mitt says he believes we can all be in the 1%. So, apparently, if he becomes president we'll all be billionaires.
