Obama campaign selling 'birther' T-shirts By Jordan Fabian - 05/18/11 11:53 AM ET

President Obama isn't done trying to capitalize on claims that he was not born in the United States.

Last month, Obama released his long-form birth certificate to prove he was born in Hawaii and lampooned billionaire businessman Donald Trump, who cast doubt on the authenticity of the president's birth certificate, at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

His campaign is now selling T-shirts emblazoned with his face above the slogan "Made in U.S.A." On the back is an image of his birth certificate.

Wonder how well they will sell with the economy like it is... They are really afraid of Corsi’s information.

Born in the USA?

IRRELEVANT.

His OWN DEMOCRAT NATIONAL COMMITTEE website FIGHT THE SMEARS is adamant in maintaining Obama is “ NATIVE CITIZEN “ which goeS contrary to what the U.S. CONSTITUTION requires, that a President be a “ NATURAL BORN CITIZEN”.

Would not matter to me if they had video of him popping out on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He STILL IS NOT AN AMERICAN

Somebody needs to create a similar Tee shirt that says “Made up in the USA”.

The image on the back of the T-shirt is probably as authentic as the one he presented.

Sort of tempting to get one to remember the historic time in which he is officially declared to be inelgible (still optimistic that day will come)....

How much you want to bet the T-shirts themselves are actually made in some Indonesian sweat shop by non-union labor?

A strategy that capitalizes on the unproven claims of BO born outside the US, and MEDIA exaggerated presentations on the absurdity of questioning BO's origins. After all it is the MEDIA that perpetrated the term "birther."

These are not dumb people, and they will capitalize, project, and ridicule the unproven assertions of the biased.

But, we indeed do NOT know Obama's history in college, in travel, in political funding, in mentoring. In other words the tee shirt IS a distraction, but one that was invited by the unproven bias of the emotional, many right here on FR.

The simple fact is there is NO one on the Washington DC scene who WILL question how Barack Obama, a truly unqualified candidate, was elected President of the US. He might be a total PHONY, but where, right now, is the critical high powered scrutiny?

Trump started, but we all know he has far far too many skeletons, and is far far too invested in his own material wealth, to challenge the brutal politics of the LEFT.

We are in trouble in the US, not because of the many national newspaper massaged issues, but because there is NO one who will expose the comprehensive agenda and background, including his backers, of Barack Obama, the Leftist Front.

Who in Washington DC questions the CFR? or Jay Rockefeller? or George Soros? or the New York Times?

When some say there is a lack of leadership in the US, THAT is the lack, the courage and principles to expose the LEFTISM. A collective collapse of character no different than what occurred in Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Hitler's Germany, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Chavez's Venezuela, KimSung's Korea, etc.

And women, e.g. Bachman, Palin, are the only ones left with any courage at all?

Amazing. A palpable, graphic, overt, historic, traumatic, reversal of the historic principles of the United States (and its fundamentally Christian foundation). Be it hereby recorded.

God give the Tea Party strength.

I’m sure that will bring the country together...

The Obots are trying to agitate and divide the people.

Believe it or not this might be a good thing. I think the right campaign can come with a good counter point to capitalize on this situation. Just have to think about it.

How about this? (however it's phrased)

Understandable that the Obama campaign would sell birth-certificate related merchandise - I guess it needs to recoup all the money it spent on lawyers to hide it in the first place...

The T-shirt I’d like to see would have

WHO IS BARRY SOETORO?

on the front and the Indonesian school record on the back.

It would come with 100 copies of Obama’s “50 Impeachable Crimes and Counting” from CFP.
