"This started with Hillary Clinton's campaign, No. 1 ," Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said during an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." "No. 2, it was Donald Trump who put the issue to rest when he got President Obama to release his birth certificate years later. And, No. 3, he said that "President Obama was born in this country, period."

Just a reminder: Barack Obama’s own bio summary from 2007 states he was born in Kenya. Read it yourself from the internet archive from them: http://web.archive.org/web/20070403190001/http://www.dystel.com/clientlist.html#o

Everyone please google Phillip Berg.

He is a Democrat activist, and he filed the very first lawsuit regarding Obama’s birth status.

I know a number of lawsuits over Obama’s status have been filed, and none have gone anywhere in court.

But, the very first one was file by a Democrat. The media never report about Phillip Berg, or his rumored connections to the HIllary campaign, or why a good Democrat such as Phillip Berg would seek to derail a Democrat president.

Watch a bit of the CNN panel - obsession over the birther issue, Trump has left them in the dust.....as he talks about the future, they dwell on this issue.

The entire panel looks like they haven’t pooped in 4 days...

This whole ‘birther’ thing... I remember when Obama was a nobody running for Senate against Alan Keyes. EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE about Obama said he was born in Kenya. Even after he was elected, they all said ‘the Kenyan-born Senator...’.

I lost track of the number of times Dickerson prefaced his questions to Conway by saying that Trump had promoted the idea of where Obama was born for five years. “It was a lie. What does that say about his abilities as a President”? He also used it as a summary in rounding out his questioning of Conway. He obviously thought that he was drawing blood.

That opens up a damaging line of reasoning with questions that could be asked Hillary and what her actions and decisions could presage for her presidency — with her countless scandals and cover ups and denials and inconsistencies and lying.

Back when it served his purpose, Obama told everyone he was born in Africa. Later, when his situation changed, you’re the idiot if you believed him.

Donald Trumps statement that Obama was born in the US is no favor to Obama and is Trumps revenge on Obama

Obama is a congenital liar and fabulist who has fabricated his past history to make himself appear to more that the second rate loser that he is.

Who knows where the truth ends and the lies begin

Fabulist and embellished stories of Obama being constitutional Law Professor and a princely member of the Kenyan Marxist Revolutionary royalty Obama family and the exotic Indonesian Marxist Revolutionary family of Sotero made him a celeb in Democrat Radical and Black Society

If Obama is shown to be born in the US to some nobody father his magic history falls apart in the eyes of the radical chic society and he reverts back to being Barry Soetero, a nobody punk loser jive talking jive turkey who lied and scammed Chicago Democrat society before he lied and scammed the nation as a whole

A lot of Obama’s supporters have figured out this guy and are disillusioned and disgusted with his lying jive turkey BS and he and his wife may find life out of the White House and the Power it provided a lot less warm and welcoming than they expect

Trump is setting the stage for this Obama come down

Obama himself told a select group of students he was not born in Hawaii, but was born in Kenya. It was also in his bio.

His grandmother said so. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence to prove he was not born in the USA.

" Barack Obama’s own bio summary from 2007 states he was born in Kenya."

So does his Harvard Law Review 1991 Yearbook entry:

Sid Blumenthal, one of the slimiest people in politics (and that’s saying a LOT) was behind the birther rumor. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article102354777.html

This issue is a Hillary campaign red herring.

Yes, Obama is as fake as a three dollar bill—but you know what, that horse has left the barn.

Focus people.

Focus.

Hillary.

Hillary.

Hillary.

-- Trump is setting the stage for this Obama come down ... --

Very well could be. [Not directed to you, just saying] I disagree that he has boxed himself in to his conclusion. New evidence is always sound reason to reverse.

He said what he said for good reasons. The issue is not pertinent to this election, and agreeing to talk about it would distract from issues that are pertinent to this election.

Obama has committed serious fraud with his birth certificate

To preserve his prestige in his radical revolutionary chic social circles he is openly styling himself as a Kenyan born revolutionary who is lying and putting one over on the great unwashed idiot American voters with his claims of being American born

This radical chic social circle includes most of the American media who are knowingly and enthusiastically perpetrating the fraud on the American voters with their non stop ridicule of what they derisively term ‘birthers’

Obama is perpetrating frauds inside of frauds
