Obama mouthpiece laughs off birth certificate request

WASHINGTON – Somebody finally asked Barack Obama's White House press secretary about the president's elusive birth certificate.
When asked by WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving why the president, who has pledged transparency in his administration, would not release his long-form birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility for office, spokesman Robert Gibbs guffawed in unison with members of the Washington press corps about the concerns of 400,000 petitioners who have demanded it.
"Are you looking for the president's birth certificate?" he asked incredulously. "Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the seal of the president's birth. I know there are apparently at least 400,000 people – (laughter) – that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to download. I certainly hope by the fourth year of our administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy."
The thing that is suspicious about it all is that they won’t release the original. They have it, apparently, but they don’t want you to see it. Why?
I’m more convinced than ever he’s ineligible. This is the way the
Clinton White House dealt with accusations that were true.
Bump!
Or he’s caucasian. WHich would be worse on him.

Anyone know where it is?
Gibbs is lying and deliberately spreading misinformation. Hawaii NEVER released his birth certificate.
What was put online was a recently created certificate of live birth that any foreign born child could get from the state of Hawaii in 1961.
When this blows up, Gibbs will be a central co-conspirator.
Maybe it says that his name is Barack Hussein.
Keep laughing you fat bastard. He who laughs last laughs best.
Several people have written to their congressmen about Obama’s birth certificate- many claim the response they received said “...according to factcheck.org...” so is the White House claiming they put the info up on factcheck.org? If so why is it not on an official government website; like say the White House site or another official website? According to the spokesman- where exactly is the BC they put on the internet? I am amazed at all the dancing around this issue by the Obama administration, most of our elected officials, and the media. Wonder why so many people are suspicious?
Pravda does what Pravda is told.
I’m not a “birther”, but I do find it increasingly curious that he will not just release the document. Also, after years of parsing Clinton statements, I noticed that Gibbs was very careful today to never to use the phrase “birth certificate”. (Pardon me while I tighten my tin foil.)
Or his birth certificate lists NO father.
Or possibly lists someone other than Barrack H. Obama as the father.
There are other reasons to doubt his eligibility. His enrollment at Occidental and Columbia University may show him listed as a foreign exchange student.
His passport info from his trip to Pakistan in his youth, when U.S. citizens were not allow to enter Pakistan.
Lots of other questions.
We simply do not know what his “real” name is.
It’s good that doubts persist..the controversey will burgeon...
Ping
I saw Brett Baier air the clip this evening.
I believe your right...no father. BHO Sr is an adopted father.
Obama won’t release his college records either. My conclusion is that 1) he is not a “natural born American”, or 2) he is a natural born American but attended Columbia as a “foreign student” from Indonesia. The latter would explain how he could visit Pakistan 1981, when Americans could not, if he used his Indonesian passport.
We will never see his authentic birth certificate or any of his other records that are MIA. It will never happen.
