Beck backs Obama over Trump's attacks...but is it because he's worried Trump might replace him?
The London Sunday Mail ^ | April 3, 2011 | Simon Neville

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 always see the “media” say those re-assuring words, like their Commie professors told them, back at (insert Journalism school)

I agree that Beck needs to cut back on the comedy routine when discussing serious news/information/policy, etc. It can confuse the listener to the point where you don't know what is serious news, etc. and what is comedy.

C’mon, Glenn. Give us our information straight..no chaser.

This is really odd that Trump was taken to task for releasing a "mistaken" birth certificate. He then had to release an ACCURATE 2nd birth certificate.

Why is it that the media and Beck will take Trump to task over a wrong certificate, but not take on Obama over exactly the same thing?

Why did they laugh over Trump having to go get the right one after he released the wrong one, but the ACTUAL president of the USA gets a free pass when NO ONE, including Obama, denies that the long form certificate has not been released?

NOPE! Obama Hussein’s entire Past has been Vacuumed Clean like a Baby’s First Day on this Earth! He once joked that he came from Krypton!
It’s more likely Hussein came here straight from HADES!

Whats classic, that it seems many don't get, is that TRUMP did exactly what OBOWWOW did..released a COLB and then when people said it wasn't legit, he busted them at their own game! He then released the long form! Which is exactly what he is asking the “one” to do. I think its clever as hell!

Exactly! Whatever anyone thinks about Trump, only a fool would think he's stupid! He set them up perfectly and they still don't get it. haha

I still can't quite figure out why Beck is letting this powerful issue go.

It really doesn't compute, does it? About the only thing that makes sense, is that he's been threatened.
