Okay sure fine that's longer, but where's the longer "super-long" long-form certificate? What are you hiding, Obama? #trumpmentum #thedonald2012

oh, yeah, took him that long to get the documents forged. That's why it didn't come out earlier. /tin-foil-hat

Trump says "But he should have done it a long time ago."

Why, because then you wouldn't have come off like a jackass?

President Obama has released what he calls his long form birth certificate.

Still as fake as the moon landing.

I'd like to think this is an example of Obama playing the long con and giving the Birthers enough rope to hang themselves, but that's probably not true. And the Birthers won't care. That's the great thing about being able to believe is ridiculous things, being presented with "proof" is just an excuse to believe in some new ridiculous conspiracy.

This is such a disgusting distraction to the real problems that are facing our country, none of which have anything to do with Obama's birthplace.

Donald Trump has taken credit for this development

Donald should be the last one splitting hairs on this.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. Now, about your Harvard admission essay and grade transcripts…

"Today I'm very proud of myself, because I've accomplished something that no one else has been able to accomplish," said Trump on the release of the president's birth certificate

No one else has been able to accomplish this because everyone else demanding to see it is a fucking loon unable to accomplish anything.

This is a goddamned embarrassment to the country, and it makes me sick that this is even--still!-- being discussed.

Our healthcare system is broken, we have millions of people out of jobs, we're fighting three too many wars, our congress can't get shit done for all the in-fighting and this, this is the fucking flag that Trump, Beck, Junior Graham, and all the other fucking imbeciles want to plant.

Fuck those guys, and fuck the inevitable tidal wave of morons that will find further conspiracy behind this move.

Now Donald himself can go over this with a fine tooth comb.

He seriously thinks that if Obama was going to forge a birth certificate, it would take this long?

I will have to say that I was disappointed that Obama gave a speech along with presenting this. I wish he would have behaved as if Trump, teacups, whatever yahoos of the day did not deserve to have someone even acknowledges their activities to need to see this or that. Next week will we need to see college degree documentation?

Will Trump be releasing his long form birth certificate? How about actually showing us his tax returns for his businesses?

Here is the deal: Trump financed that book (by Jerome Corsi?) about Obama's background. All of Trump's media lately about this is simply Trump drumming up business for the book. He likes to make money, and he does that by financing shiny things and getting idiots to buy them. He's just a tout.

I wonder how this relates to True Believer Syndrome.

Sigh.

Why is Obama feeding this? The right answer is "Fuck you and the horse you wished you could ride in on."

Remember the rumors of George Bush (the dad, not the son) having an affair, which were answered with a swift "I'll punch you in the face repeatedly if you ask that again?"

That faded, basically, instantly.

We'll this is obviously faked. I mean look at the kerning of the fonts.

Didn't Mr. Trump say he'd release his tax returns if the President released his birth certificate? Ho ho ho.

But this is fairly dopey. There has never been a lack of evidence that the President was born in Hawaii. Never. Because it isn't about where he was born, it's about whop he is, or more accurately, who the worst of our countrymen believe (or pretend to believe) he is. So the addition of more evidence isn't going to change anybody's mind, really.
