It turns out Barack Obama is . . . is . . . a citizen. The White House has released President Obama’s long-form birth certificate to put the growing controversy to rest over his birth. Many of us have been critical of the birther conspiracy theories. However, I am not sure why the White House did not do this earlier since it addresses the allegations fully. It will be interesting to see that, now that Obama has produced the certificate, if the movement for state ballot laws declines. While it has been repeatedly stated that the laws are not about Obama, but we will see.
The long-form clearly states the date and other information. It also includes the name of Obama’s father — a focus of recent suggestions that the reason for withholding the document was the name of a different man or the inclusion of Muslim for religion.
Donald Trump immediately took credit for the disclosure stating, “Today, I’m very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish,” Trump told reporters. “Why he didn’t do it when everybody else was asking for it, I don’t know. But I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue.”
I am not sure why the White House held on to the document. One theory could be that they knew it would blow up in the faces of Obama’s critics. However, it has served to rally critics for years. Those critics are not likely to register with the DNC now. They are likely to move on to other claims against Obama.
Perhaps now that he clearly was born in Hawaii, they will now claim that his is part of the Hawaiian royalty and thus making him ineligible as the holder of a foreign ennoblement.

Mikey, In case you haven’t figured it out, I’ve already figured you out and find your opinion worthless. Please keep it up. It gives me good reason to laugh. LOL
The Texas-specific provision required that Perry promise the state will maintain certain education spending levels through 2013 in order to get the funds. Perry complained the Texas Constitution prohibited him from committing to future state spending. Texas applied for the money anyway, but was rejected and later filed suit against the Department of Education.
Democrats in Congress said they put forth the provision, which also bypassed state lawmakers and sent the federal aid directly to school districts, because of the way Texas handled federal stimulus dollars in 2009. Texas lawmakers used $3.2 billion in federal stimulus money to replace state money and ended the legislative session with billions in the state’s reserve Rainy Day Fund.
Kris,
please provide your source for claiming Gov. Perry refused the stimulus money because he was following the Texas Constitution. Thank you.
Well I am curious….I really am….Pray tell…where did the money come from….Please tell me…
I am just in shock and awe….if the money did not come from the poor…then why do they have it…certainly…it is not a fund set up by the wealthy and corporations to take care of Emergency situations…is it? That is so charitable of them….but if the money did not come from the poor….then where does it come from…
We know it did not come from the Corporations the wealthy ones especially…we know that they get money back…. Just where did the money come from…
Anonymously Yours
The money I can assure you didn’t come from the poor.
You are such a bright one but energy savings bulbs are not my thing…. Did they do a family dna study to see how you operate?
Couldn’t right? Wound too tight….kinda hard to separate you and your mother….most people have 26….did they find more than 2 with you?
“Why do I write “Kevin Kesseler”? I want to make sure that any potential employer sees how you argue your position.”
Libtard, et. al. That just shows what a gutless pile of
offal you are. Kevin has made his real name known for a long, long time. You don’t have his courage of conviction and prove it by hiding behind a bunch of aliases.
So its pick and choose…oh…yeah school children don’t matter….but where did the FEMA money come from Harvard Bound One….or is that Yale too….
Anonymously Yours
Fema is responsible to help those in crisis because they paid into the federal treasury.
You puppet boys gettin’ your panties twisted?
Yeah, that dog will hunt. There’s more than one way to skin a troll. I told you lot your day of troll reckoning was coming.
And that is all I have to say about that.
Mike Spindell
With eyes like yours I can understand why you were a good social worker. You scared everybody to death.
Kris, Jim and/or larry….
Perry just now asks Obama for Federal money….and kind of upset that Alabama is getting it and we are not…..boo hoo….take it like a man standing up in prison….
Bdaman:
That is a serious allegation. Until you provide evidence of this accusation, I shall consider it a fabrication.
Mike Spindell
I am not Jim which shows how much of an baffoon you are. Really, Perry would not release the funds because of our state Constitution.
“Kris:
Thanks Jim. People who have not been following the reasoning for Perry holding back the funds are just ignorant:
Case in point. Really?
Bob Esq.,
Let me be the first to express sympathy for Kevin’s unfounded claim against you. He’s a child striking out. His lack of gainful employment must be causing him severe problems. Perhaps if Mike Spindell weren’t so interesting in looking for demons he might try to give Kevin some helpful advice.
I read Kevin’s analysis of the WTC collapse. He’s a very confused individual who can’t recognize his own limitations. Kevin is a Bigot. I use a capital “B” for a reason.
Kris was right!
Jim,
Considering he is you, or you are him, I guess you would think so. Do you often have conversations with yourself using different names?
What Elaine and raff said.
Also, I am not Jim but do agree with his opinions.

Did you know Obama’s poll numbers are sinking that now Kenyans are saying he was born in the United States. (Good Joke)
Mike Spindell
No I do not smoke marijuana or fail to pay my taxes. I am a texan who keeps up with texas politics.
