Trump Has 'Just a Little' Doubt Obama Was Born in America
FoxNews ^ | March 17, 2011

Posted on 03/17/2011 6:46:17 AM PDT by maggief

Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump says he has "just a little" doubt that President Obama is U.S.-born but his feeling doesn't make him an "idiot."

The mogul and TV reality star suggested in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" that aired Thursday that he's reluctant to discuss the topic because "everybody that even gives any hint of being a 'birther,' a word you didn't use, even a little bit of a hint like, 'gee, maybe you know, just maybe there is this much of a chance,' they label them as an idiot."

“If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They’ll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It’s very strange,” the Celebrity Apprentice host added. “The whole thing is very strange.”

“Just a little”

Well that’s less than his donations to Rahm, Blago, Reid, and every RINO out there.

Perfect answer by Trump.

As I posted in another thread, Trump has the money and the resources to check into Barry’s background in a way that no other candidate can or will.

Looks like he may have already done so.

Donald, the real issue relates to the citizenship status of both of his parents. Where he was born isn’t nearly as important.

I don't give a flying fickle finger of fate where Barry was born.

What worries me is where and how he was raised.

It amounts to the same thing, and it's the reason the founders put the citizenship requirement in in the first place.

Nobody should be president who wasn't raised in America.

Barry hasn't got the heritage, the education, the mindset or the instincts of an American citizen. And he shows it every day.

Outstanding.

Make the quivering, timid GOP also rans stand up.

Trump is one way or the other, turning out to be a game changer.

DON’T BACK DOWN TRUMP.

Wow. That’s about the single silliest thing I’ve ever posted here. Because: backing down is the very last thing Trump would ever do.

Ever.

Think about that...

It would be nice if just one of these candidate wanna-be’s would educate him or herself on the NBC issue. Most evidence supports the fact he is not constitutionally qualified to be POTUS because his is not an NBC. The location of his birth may be somewhat murky and is certainly confused, but there is enough solid proof that he is NOT eligible under NBC.

Who seriously gives a rip about anything that Trump says?

He’s about as relevant as Joy Behar is.

I dispute this "reasoning" on the grounds that most people probably do not remember with whom they went to kindergarten. I sure as heck don't.

If Donald Trump wants to beat down the "0bama isn't a citizen" door, then he should provide some solid evidence that irrefutably proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that 0bama isn't a citizen. Anything less will destroy his own credibility and ensure that we are stuck with 0bama until 2017.

"Where he was born isn’t nearly as important."

Actually it is. I'm not an expert but there has been a lot of commentary on this in regards to what the laws of citizenship were at the time of his birth. His Father obviously was not a citizen and his mother was. However, his mother was under 18 at the time and the law said something to the effect that if one one parent was a citizen and under 18, the child had to be born in the U.S. to be considered a natural born citizen.

I may have mixed up minor details, but that is essentially the issue in 100 words or less. So if he was born outside the U.S. or it's territories, he's not a natural born citizen and ineligible to be President.

Birth Certificate; Obama's shame

When you hide your "Certificate of Live Birth" and only show a forged "Certification of Live Birth" it causes normal people to say, "huh?"

But to presstitute whores it is not an issue.

The fact remains - NOT ONE PERSON CAN NAME THE DOCTOR WHO DELIVERED BARRY!

Why Barry continues to cover up the Long Form is bizarre:

- Wasn't born here to begin with?
- Biological father is really [ ]?
- Would raise "natural born citizen" challenges?
- Wants to keep pigeon-holing the "birthers" as nutjobs?
- Any/all of the above.

Right. As a group, they could do it, and unite against him. It would be powerful.

And Trump, while I’m glad he’s in the race as he speaks loads of common sense — needs to stop worrying what anyone thinks — seems that would be #1 requirement to survive the campaign as well as the daily rigors of the presidency.

I “sure as heck” do! Went to school with those same kids throughout Grade School, Jr. High, and Senior High!

It will be interesting if the media leftists will now start lampooning Trump as a tea party hack, birther, goofball conspiracy theorists. After all, he is someone they like and respect. Trump opening this up, could take this question mainstream if nothing else...

He simply refuses to release the record that verifies that information.
