The last person President Barack Obama might expect support from is controversial Fox News host Glenn Beck. The presenter seemed to give his backing to the President against heavy criticism by Donald Trump who has questioned whether he was born in America and that he may be a Muslim. But Beck’s warning that Trump’s remarks are making him ‘a little uncomfortable recently’ may have more to do with Fox News announcing the billionaire will be given a regular slot on the station, while the host’s show may be scrapped.
He was speaking on the channel’s The O’Reilly Factor show on Friday, where he discussed Trump’s two-part interview earlier in the week. Trump, who is considering whether to throw his hat into the ring to become Republican nominee for President at the 2012 election, said Obama ‘doesn’t have a birth certificate’. He went on: ‘Now, he may have one but there is something on that birth certificate — maybe religion, maybe it says he's a Muslim, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want that. Or, he may not have one.’ Beck told Bill O’Reilly ‘There is something reasonable to, you know, a reasonable conversation if you don't believe that he has a birth certificate.
‘You can say, “I don't believe he has a birth certificate.” But then he goes into “I do not believe he has a birth certificate” and then he releases one that's worse than Obama's. 'And then he comes back and he says on your program, “He might be a Muslim too.” I'm like, come on!’
After Trump made his allegations about the President – who is Christian and was born in Honolulu, Hawaii – he released a certificate of his own....

I guess fell for the trap along with the MSM. To start with Trump's COLB was not worse than Bozo's. Trumps was real not a digital copy and it wasn't a forgery. Not to mention after the left fell for the trap and admitted a COLB isn't a real BC, he released his long form. If Beck really said this, then he is full of sh**.
AMEN! and The Donald sure knows how to run Capitalist Businesses and Our Beloved Capitalist Country, AMERICA!
Why don’t all the news organizations get a photocopy of the BC ? and show it? They just expect us to take their word for it?
Obama, show your damned long form and be done with it.
If McCain showed it, if Bush showed it then you best show it.
While you are at it Obama, show us your college transcripts, etc. There is no good reason why you are not open and honest it us. We have a right to know.
By bringing Beck into the argument, the left A) exposes the birther argument to a larger, Beck-hating audience B) keeps the birther issue in the news and C) this is where Beck needs to grow a pair -- Beck shows his own BC and reminds the left how easy it would be to put this issue to bed if zerO would just show his BC.
It's probably too much to hope.
This one is a typical example. The most egregious takes the form, say, of a poll result--"40% of republicans endorse the false /incorrect belief that Obama is not a Christian."
Now, never before in polling history have results been presented in so transparently tendentious a fashion. The attempt at manipulation is so childish it is reminiscent of the pathetic propaganda spewed out in communist Chinese press releases. It says more than the results themselves.
Same pattern is emerging on the BC issue albeit somewhat less obvious.
Beck has been PEALING obama, soros, van jones, czars like cass sunstein etc., various muslim terrorist organizations, and other socialists/marxists/communists/revolutionaries/muslim terrorists in this country and world-wide, LIKE SOME KINDS OF GRAPES, and has shown who they are, and how they are working together toward the destruction of Israel and the USA, and the creation of a caliphate of the Middle East, Europe and the USA. Leftists of all persuasions, revolutionaries/anarchists and muslims all working together to take down the USA, and then dividing up the spoils between them all afterward. No one has made the connections between these groups as clearly and concise as Beck. No one has been as informative about the various aspects of this attack against the United States, as has Beck.
Beck has done excellent work..he is extremely informative and dedicated, and it is important to listen daily for updates and new information.
No one and nothing is perfect. Beck is simply excellent at what he does, and I support him.
Beck is not for Trump in 2012. He has been and will be supporting Mitt Romney. Beck could be more supportive of Trump if Trump would state that he is going to join Beck in working for Romney.
I agree. I think Beck has really hurt himself. Go figure!
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama doesn't dare show a real birth certificate no matter what country issued it.
If it has Barack Obama as daddy, such a legal document would prove that Barry is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
I think that Trumps mission is to clear the way for a 2012 Hillary democrat ticket. I would rather see whoever gets the Republican nod to go against the beast instead of zero.
Go Trump Go!!!!! Expose the fraud and let the chips fall.
I like it! “A jpeg is not a birth certificate!”
If Beck really said this, then he is full of sh**. (calex59)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Beck did say this. I saw the video.
Beck **deliberately** said this to mislead the audience. I call that lying.
Beck is a Jackass. I don’t understand how people can stand to watch him.
This Brit writer stretched Glenn's words like it was saltwater taffy from Brighton Beach. He ought to confine himself to predicting the style of the forthcoming royal wedding gown.
Despite warts and all, I've learned more valuable, usable stuff from Glenn Beck in the relatively short time he's been on the tube than from all the conservative radio talk hosts in over 20 years of listening....and nothing against them. I respect them all.
I'm sure if the riot-and-revolution rubber ever hits the road in this country most of us would rather have Beck in our foxholes watching our backs than all the courageous keyboard commandos attacking him on specious grounds from the comfort of their leather swivel chairs. I know I would.

EGG-ZAK-LEE!!!
As a life long Mormon I can tell you that it is not 'required'. Nice try though.
Some things are deal breakers. For example, a man can be a **wonderful** person 98% of the time, but once a year or so he breaks his wife's arm, or slams her in the nose.
Well....What Beck to those defenders of Article 2, Section1 was a punch in the nose. I was **DONE** with Beck after that!
I'm still mad a Limbaugh, too, but I will likely forgive him. At least he wasn't mean about ignoring Obama’s eligibility.
