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."

In order to be a “natural born citizen”, both parents have to be US citizens. The “birthrite citizenship” given to Mexicans and other invaders is the result of an erroneous interpretation.

"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."

Not only could I tell you some of those names, I could tell you my teacher. Even if you can't do that, I'll bet you or your mother could pull out a kindergarten picture or two.

There is hard evidence, and there is circumstantial evidence.

It’s important to know the difference between the two, and the value of each.

Trump listed some circumstantial evidence.

He has just invited Chris Matthews to lead the charge against him.

No, he actually has the ability and resources to be POTUS, and he will actually stand up to those rabid democraps. Could you see him cowering as Boehner and the other RINOS are doing? I think not.

Again, he has a ton of character flaws and I really don’t like the guy, but he definitely knows economics and would whip the dems around for sure. I think he is our only chance against 0.

He has a “little doubt”? Is that like a “little pregnant”? Say it, Trump, and don’t hedge.

"In order to be a “natural born citizen”, both parents have to be US citizens."

The Constitution is silent on what constitutes a "natural born citizen". Only that the President has to be one. The term is mentioned one time in the Constitution in Article 2 section 1. The 14th amendment does not mention this phrase. It only outlines what constitutes a citizen. This "natural born citizen" has been left up to the lawmakers to determine. Your interpretation of the phrase (both parents being U.S. citizens) is not the current legal interpretation and I don't believe it has ever been.

Hussein is using this birth certificate issue to his advantage within the black and other minority communities.

The message is, "You aren't white, therefore you can't be an American".

The probability that there is something on his long form BC that contradicts his personal narrative is far greater than the probability that he was born in Kenya. The probability that he is treating the BC issue as a first line of defense against investigating his citizenship status due to time spent in Indonesia is greater IMO that a BC irregularity.

What Trump should have said was "Because the president acts like a man trying to hide something, my suspicions are aroused that he may in fact be hiding something".

No one knows the hosptital. The hospital claimed was not built at the time of the birth.

The Clinton’s had one of the best private investigator corps in politics. Plus the FBI files. If Baraq isn’t legit, why didn’t they drop the hammer on him in the 2008 primaries?

Maybe he just listened to the public statement of HI Governor Neil Abercrobie who, when asked how his search for Obama’s birth certificate was going, told an interviewer that an investigation had shown there was a “recording of Obama’s birth” “actually written down” in the State Archives.

The only documents from 1961 that are authorized to be stored at the State Archives are registrations of foreign birth.

Trump opening this up, could take this question mainstream if nothing else...

This issue for Donald or any other media personality is EASY!

The media framed the issue with the term "BIRTHER."

FIRE BACK, WITH - "Who are the crazy ones, the people who have not seen the birth record that lists doctor/hospital of birth and doubt OR The people who have not seen the birth record that lists doctor/hospital of birth and report as FACT his place of birth?"

“I think he is our only chance against 0.”

I could not disagree more. He would be another H. Ross Perot and we all know how well that worked out.

Gotta love this stuff with WE have to prove he’s not a citizen.... Well that is fine as long as WE have access to his records.
Obama will not release a real birth certificate, his college transcript, even his voting record in the state senate.
So somehow the onus is on us to prove, withotu access to records that he’s lying.
I say the very fact that he refuses to release those records shows who the liar is.
I lean more towards him using the questions with his birth along with the fact that he was adopted by a foreign national to get special treatment in college.
I think all this is tied together.
But of course i can’t prove that because the liar in cheif controls all his records.

Release the stuff, if you are telling the truth i promise to come on here and freely admit i am wrong.
Until then, if you won’t play fair, i see no need to play fair either.

The part I find curious is where did Baraq secure the huge sums of money it took to “disappear” all his records before he had any significant wealth himself?
