Donald Trump has recently publicly revealed himself to be a conspiracy-theory birther. Trump has been calling for Obama to release his own birth certificate.

(Trump is apparently unawares that a copy of Obama's birth certificate has been available on the internet for 3 years, and it's authenticity has been verified by multiple officials, including the Republican Governor of Hawaii, and ancillary information - newspapers, etc. And it was George W. Bush's administration that verified Obama was a US citizen that could run for President, and neither Hillary or McCain's campaign could find any problems with Obama's citizenship)

Today Trump released his own birth certificate with a flourish. Seriously.

Except ... it's not an official birth certificate.

Where's your birth certificate, Trump? What are you hiding?

Newsmax, the conservative site to which Trump released his non-official birth certificate document
http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/d...3/28/id/390930

And appropriate superficial investigation reveals the document not to be official
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmi...rtificate.html

And the absolutely bestest part is Ben Smith's tongue-in-cheek "comment" at the end of his article:



LOL - you go, Ben.
LOL! I can think of many reasons that Trump should never be President of the US, his place of birth is far down my list. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of the fact that he must be a native born citizen but really...DONALD F'ing TRUMP??

I'm quite sure Trump was born in the USA. But for Trump to reveal himself as a birther, then attack Obama, and then release only his own hospital souvenir copy as his "official birth certificate" is hysterically funny.

The fact that the Donald thinks he is capable of being President is funny, the fact that a recent poll showed he had a 10% following among Republican voters, well...that's scary!

Isn't he pro-choice, and didn't he favor some form of national healthcare? I think he would only have a chance as an Independent. I guess he's just looking for attention. Doing well in business does not prepare one for Politics. We make it easy for people with money to make more money. Politics is much more like surfing on waves.

There is definately something being hidden from the public on Obama's long form and I suspect it's either the religion listed or the lack of father name? I for one am interested in seeing it so I guess that still makes me a birther.

Many more pictures of Obama's birth certificate, including closeups, copies of the newspaper publications of announcement of birth, statements from witnesses, etc. at www.factcheck.org

"This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding"

You do realize that it is legal in the US to be Catholic, right?

of course I do but I find it hard to believe the original is lost? I also agree it seems very odd, almost Rezko like, that Obama & Co. have spent even a single dollar defending its release. But then again I'm from Chicago-Illinois and am biased because of past experiences.
