Speaking at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday, President Barack Obama made a birther joke. Obama was talking about how his recent appearance at the dedication of George W. Bush's presidential library inspired him to start his own legacy. He then made a quip about the potential location of his library. "Some have suggested we put it in my birthplace, but I'd rather keep it in the United States," Obama joked.

Not sure if that was a joke or a Freudian slip. He has made his share of gaffes in the past.
Or it could have been a direct attack on the Natural Born Citizen clause of the Constitution, in effect saying that it doesn't matter where his birthplace is.
there’s a reason for his arrogant confidence.
That is gloating. That is sharing the joke with co-conspirators. He’s ultra confident that his trail is clean and he is untouchable-legally and otherwise. And, if he can eliminate that pesky Constitution that is ‘constraining’ him, we are well and truly FUBAR.
The cheeky little son of Satan praises journalists:
“And we also saw journalists at their best — especially those who took the time to wade upstream through the torrent of digital rumors to chase down leads and verify facts and painstakingly put the pieces together to inform, and to educate, and to tell stories that demanded to be told.”
“These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be.” (Laughter.)
“Some of my former advisors have switched over to the dark side. For example, David Axelrod now works for MSNBC, which is a nice change of pace since MSNBC used to work for David Axelrod.” (Laughter.)
“The History Channel is not here. I guess they were embarrassed about the whole Obama-is-a-devil thing. (Laughter.) Of course, that never kept Fox News from showing up. (Laughter.) They actually thought the comparison was not fair — to Satan.” (Laughter and applause.)
“I am not giving up. In fact, I’m taking my charm offensive on the road — a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann.” (Laughter and applause.)
Had he ever been in the real world of men, he would have had his teeth handed to him Lon ago.
I notice he's still never joked about his so called social security card or his inability to pass the rigorous investigation of E-Verify.
Some day Barry's chickens will come home to roost
If we get really, really lucky, maybe he’ll be the first POTUS w/out a library.
Who would want to build a library for some Marxist that’s serving a very long prison sentence, having been convicted of treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors?
It's because he and his Saudi handlers know they've pulled off the greatest con in the history of our country. A con that will lead directly to our country's downfall. Welcome to the third world.
Whistling past the graveyard.
Obama and the Chicago Mafia have passively wiped out several long standing policies either through executive order or republican cowardliness.
The "Eternal Flame of Socialism"?
He’s probably planning to put his fake one you know with only a hollywood face only structure either at Universal Studios or Hawaii while the real one will be in Kenya.
He does love to taunt people who seek the truth about him, doesn't he?
He knows that the media would protect him even if he confessed to being someone other than Barack Obama, a true muslim, born in Kenya, trained by the KGB and inserted here as an illegal alien mole.
After all - What Difference Does It Make?
It’s just boldness on his part. He knows everybody knows he is ineligible and nobody has/will have the guts to do a d*mn thing about it.
Obama joking like this is a sure sign that he’s comfortable that he’s gotten away with it. When he tries to joke about a topic that he doesn’t feel as secure about he tends to take a nastier edge.
A guilty conscience ... if he had the capacity to feel guilty.

"Some have suggested we put it in my birthplace, but I'd rather keep it in the United States,"
"Senator Cruz, that's Groucho Marx, not Karl Marx."
2012 White House Correspondence Dinner
My name is Barack Obama. My mother was born in Kansas. My father was born in Kenya. And I was born, of course, in Hawaii.
2011 White House Correspondence Dinner
“Donald Trump is here tonight,” the comedian in chief said, grinning. “Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”
The birther issue gave Mr. Obama lots of fodder for the evening, including a video of his birth, which he mentioned before cutting to a clip from “The Lion King.”
"My fellow Americans. Mahalo! It is wonderful to be here at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. What a week. As some of you heard, the state of Hawaii released my official long-form birth certificate.
Hopefully this puts all doubts to rest. But just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight I’m prepared to go a step further. Tonight, for the first time, I am releasing my official birth video.
Now, I warn you -- -- no one has seen this footage in 50 years, not even me. But let’s take a look."
2010 White House Correspondence Dinner
"It's been quite a year since I've spoken here last -- lots of ups, lots of downs -- except for my approval ratings, which have just gone down. But that's politics. It doesn't bother me. Beside I happen to know that my approval ratings are still very high in the country of my birth."
"We do have a number of notable guests in attendance here tonight. Obviously I'm most pleased that Michelle accompanied me. She doesn't always go to these things. And there are few things in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love -- well, love and a birth certificate."
The only time he tells the truth is when he's trying to stick it to "the birthers."
