Birthers! You morons, if there was any illegitimacy with the President's birth certificate don't you think the Republicans would have been all over it 2 years ago?!
The Republicans however are using morons like you to keep this up, and Trump is using you as well to generate free publicity. We all have the right to be stupid from time to time, but you can't be this stupid, this long. Move on.

The huckster Obama circus gets taken to the cleaners by the huckster Trump circus!
Gee.... All it took was a few well-placed statements by Trump to get the media all aquiver, and the charlatan in the White House folds like a cheap suit.
Had Obama and his handlers had any brains, they would have produced this document 2 years ago. instead, they thought that if they ignored it long enough, it would go away.
Sorry, but there are too many questions about the background of this man that aren't going to go away.
At least, not when the document they provide can be shown to possibly be a fake (Adobe is a wonderful product, isn't it?) - I've got no clue whether or not the "pulling apart" that can be done by anyone with Adobe is real or not, but simply the fact that it can be done will continue to feed the doubters.
No, Trump may be the ringmaster of a circus, but compared to the writer of this column, Trump is a genius!

P.T. Barnum didn’t say a sucker is born every minute, his competitor did. You can learn who said it, the birth of the circus and the first elephant in America at this link.

Here in the 21st century the circus is still putting on elaborate hoaxes, they continue to fool the public into believing they are using food reward to get their baby elephants to perform circus tricks in these photos at Circuses.com. Never mind that their elephant trainers are using bullhooks, ropes and electric prod they are stabbing, hooking and shocking these baby elephants to make them perform.

If you think he insults the circus, Obama and Washington make him look like a angel.

Running for president is expensive. Pretending to run is profitable.

The canard that only the long form birth certificate is true documentation of citizenship is totally bogus. The short form is completely acceptable to the State Department, all the proof that's required, when applying for a passport. Why this hasn't been brought to the public's attention is bewildering.
