The Washington Compost: Trump tells Post he is unwilling to say Obama was born in the U.S. (Comp
The Washington Compost ^ | September 15, 2016 | Robert Costa

CANTON, Ohio — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in an interview here that he remains unwilling to say that President Obama was born in the United States, that he is more bullish than ever on his chances to win and that he is not exploring the launch of a new media company in case he loses the race.

Trump also made a far-from-subtle push — in the interview and in a letter from his doctor released Thursday — to be seen as vigorous and healthy, as his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, returned to the campaign trail after being treated for mild pneumonia.

In the interview, conducted late Wednesday aboard his private plane as it idled on the tarmac here, Trump suggested he is not eager to change his pitch or his positions even as he works to reach out to minority voters, many of whom are deeply offended by his long-refuted suggestion that Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Trump refused to say whether he believes Obama was born in Hawaii.

“I’ll answer that question at the right time,” Trump said. “I just don’t want to answer it yet.”

The evidence, such as it is, that Baraq was born in the USA doesn’t outweigh the evidence that he wasn’t.

So why did he sit down with anybody from the WaPo? He knows they are going to skewer him if they can. Should have grabbed ‘em by the collar, and the seat of their pants, and tossed ‘em off the plane.

He dealt with this last Friday, didn’t he?

I heard about this on a radio show. Trump had the conference where he rolled the media set up for the next day. He just did not want to give the interviewer the story a day early.

The article was quoting old interviews.

Who knows where Obastard was born? My bet is Canada. His mom was in Seattle two weeks after he was born, so I bet she was already in the area before he was born.

In the 1960s, the normal and typical way to deal with an embarrassing pregnancy was to send the girl away to live with relatives. Stanley Ann had an Aunt Eleanor Belle Dunham Berkebile living in Canada in 1959, and who may have been living there still in 1961.

All we know is that Stanley Ann showed up at her friend's (Susan Blake, who lived in Seattle) house two weeks after he was born and not knowing how to change a diaper.

Do the editors of the Post think Obama will be on the ballot this year?

Except for a photoshopped/ faked bunch of pixels — everything including o’s own autobiography and his relatives say he was born in Kenya. There is no credible reason for mr trump or anybody to say he was born in USA and O continues to hide all his identity records at considerable cost

Today the comPost and Clinton Non News have officially gone over the cliff. They’ve broken ranks with reality.

A dead cat on the side of the road could be seen to be as vigorous and healthy as Hillary Clinton.

Clinton's support with black voters is at an unbelievably low 70% and still collapsing.

You're witnessing liberal panic.
