[quote]President Obama released his original birth certificate Wednesday, saying the controversy surrounding the issue had become a "sideshow."

Obama's birth certificate

“We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do," said Obama.

The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.

“Over the last two and half years, I have watched with amusement. I have been puzzled with the degree with which this thing just kept going,â€

WorldNutDaily: It proves nothing! NOTHING!
House Majority Leader: He's giving too much credulence to this.
House Speaker: This has been settled for a long time.
National Review: This was a conspiracy to make us conservatives look like paranoid maniacs.
Palin: Haha! You media suckkkkkk! Trump scooped you! NOW IGNORE THE ENTIRE EPISODE.
Trump: But how did he get into Columbia and Harvard Law? Huh? RELEASE THE RECORDS NOW!
Orly Taitz, crazed lawyer: It says 'African', not 'Negro'. FRAUD!

Various idiots on #tcot(Top Conservatives On Twitter): I see smudges! And Kerning! Where's the forensic analysis?!

In short, various forms of running for cover, repeating how this is just a CONSPIRACY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS and moving on to 'Affrmative action!'.

You know, I almost think the National Review might be onto something. Releasing this document has resulted in the Republicans running in circles with their underwear on their head screaming about the alien space conspiracy to use Obama to place mind control chemicals in the drinking water. Could this perhaps be the result that Obama might have been looking for?

You magnificent bastard you... :)

Oh, and the latest comment I've heard: "It's not a Birth Certificate, it says Certificate Of Live Birth!! It's FAKE"

Of course, EVERY SINGLE LONG FORM CERTIFICATE SINCE 1910 says "Certificate of Live Birth" (as opposed to StillBirth), so only those who've never really *looked* at their own Long Form certificate would throw a fit over it.

fucknuts. I want to break my 6ft long steel-shod pine staff over their heads repeatedly until sense soaks into the cracks.

That's not a new one.

But apparently, they think that a "Certificate of (live) Birth" is not the same thing as a "Birth Certificate". It's like saying that "the City of New York" is not the same thing as "New York City".

These people don't care about the truth and don't want to understand, they just want to believe what they believe and will make up any excuse to keep doing it. They don't even care about how silly they look.
