Again and Again: White House Legitimizes Looney Unproven Unproven Birther Arguments, Releases Birth Certificate. If you think that the lunacy of whether the 44th President of the Unites States was born here will end with this, forget it. For this is a group whose lunacy knows no end and no delay. The birthers seek to delegitimize the first black President of the United States. Plain and simple. No lack of evidence, no set of facts, no reasonable arguments will ever suffice. Will Donald Trump keep shut now? Don’t bet on it.
This is what the White House released to the press this morning…
Pfeiffer Post: President Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate

President Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate
Posted by Dan Pfeiffer on April 27, 2011 at 08:57 AM EDT
In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. The state sent the campaign the President’s birth certificate, the same legal documentation provided to all Hawaiians as proof of birth in state, and the campaign immediately posted it on the internet. That birth certificate can be seen here (PDF).
When any citizen born in Hawaii requests their birth certificate, they receive exactly what the President received. In fact, the document posted on the campaign website is what Hawaiians use to get a driver’s license from the state and the document recognized by the Federal Government and the courts for all legal purposes. That’s because it is the birth certificate. This is not and should not be an open question.
The President believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn’t good for the country. It may have been good politics and good TV, but it was bad for the American people and distracting from the many challenges we face as a country. Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. President Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate can be seen here (PDF). Correspondence with the Hawaii State Department of Health can be seen here (PDF).
At a time of great consequence for this country – when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East, Washington, DC, was once again distracted by a fake issue. The President’s hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country.
Why should President Barack Obama has to release a copy of his birth certificate to the world? No other president had to,and no one questioned it either. Here we are in Three Wars,and we are witnessing the end of America’s Economic Hegemony,we are at the end of the age of America. Who-ever is elected president of the United States, Obama, Trump,Mitt Rommey or who-ever, will be the last to preside over the World’s Largest Economy!! Chinese Economy will expand from $11.2 trillion to $19 trillion in 2016. Meanwhile the size of the U.S. Economy will rise $15.2 to 18.8 trillion. This would take America’s share of the world out-put down to 17.7% Lowest in Modern Times. China is Rising 18% and Rising. We have a need to be concerned about more important issues, other than President Obama’s Birth Certificate!!
