The Hillary Clinton campaign moved Saturday to further distance itself from the re-ignited controversy about President Obama’s birthplace and long-time Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, saying neither Clinton nor the 2008 campaign “ever” questioned the president’s citizenship. Donald Trump, Clinton’s Republican presidential rival, revived the so-called “birther” issue earlier this week when he declined to say definitively whether Obama is a U.S. citizen. The controversy gained momentum Friday when former McClatchy D.C. bureau chief James Asher tweeted that Blumenthal “told me in person” that Obama was born in Kenya. On Saturday, 2016 Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told Fox News: "As...

Things have grown desperate in the Clinton camp. Nobody is coming right out and saying it - that’s not the Democrat way - butt trust me, the party’s Big Brains have concluded that they can not win with Hillary as head of the ticket; ipso fatso, they have replaced her with Obama.Don’t worry, I’ve got this!Aided and abetted by the Democratic operatives with bylines they’ve implemented the bait and switch scam.That’s right, the DNC/NBC/MsNBC/CBS/ABC/CNN/NYT/MSM, have redirected the 2016 campaign to Barack Obama’s (aka Barry Soetero) citizenship. More specifically they’ve redirected to Donald Trump’s role in seeking the “official” Obama birth...

onald Trump called a press conference today to address some concerns he wanted to share. The Press showed up to the press conference because overnight, they’d been marinating in a Trump Mea Culpa hope: Trump will finally admit he’s a racist and apologize for the Obama Birther fight. As conservatives groaned about the stupidity of the birther garbage being revisited and then further groaned that Trump would have a press conference (no good could come of that), the media slavered with anticipation. Once again, Trump surprised everyone. John Hinderaker of Powerline shares the result: Sometimes you really have to hand...

CBS News Reporter has major Meltdown on Live TV

CLAIM: Hillary Clinton and/or members of her 2008 presidential campaign started the "birther" movement questioning whether Barack Obama was born in the U.S. FALSE ORIGIN:On 16 September 2016, after years of being the most visible and outspoken exponent of "birtherism" — the notion that, despite all evidence to the contrary, Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and thus his presidency is illegitimate and his allegiances suspect — GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump stepped up to the podium at a televised campaign event and completely reversed his stance on the matter — but not before trying to lay blame for...

Watching and flipping all the alphabet cable "news" channels, they are all going crazy and heads exploding and downing Trump on any and everything people can think of or dig up and twist. They are all stepping and fetching like their hair is on fire and the a$$e$ is a catching.

Today at his brand new Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proved once again he is a master manipulator of media. This week the birther issue has come up again, as President Barack Obama gets ready to leave the White House in five months. Hillary Clinton and her allies at certain media outlets believe it's an issue on which they can yet again accuse Trump of racism, so it's been the topic of the week: When is Donald Trump finally going to admit Barack Obama was born in the United States?

WASHINGTON — Two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign reportedly shared the claim that then-rival Barack Obama was not born in the United States and thus was not eligible to be president. One was a volunteer in Iowa, who was fired, Clinton’s former campaign manager said Friday. The other was Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, according to a former McClatchy Washington Bureau chief. The issue arose Friday as Donald Trump finally acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S. Trump, a leading champion of the debunked “birther” conspiracy theory for years, attempted to blame Clinton for starting it when she...

Unfortunately for her, there is no erasing it from her history. Hillary Clinton is the founder of the movement that questioned Barack Obama’s birthplace. She can practically be referred to as the mother of the birther movement. The following is a list of 7 times that Hillary Clinton – not Donald Trump – was shown to have started the Obama birther controversy… at link

President Obama brushed aside Donald Trump’s renewed questions about his birth and eligibility for the White House, saying Friday he had hoped the presidential election would have been about more important issues.

Claim: A 1991 literary promotional booklet identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya. Example: [Collected via e-mail, May 2012] Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii." The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel. ORIGIN:In May 2012 the web site Breitbart published a copy of a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by...

Top CNN employees are frustrated. They breathlessly went live to Donald Trump’s news conference at his new hotel in Washington D.C., only to wait helplessly as veterans stood up to explain why they support Trump as commander-in-chief. “It’s hard to imagine this as anything other than a political rick-roll,” anchor Jake Tapper said wryly as CNN cut away from the broadcast of the Trump event and asked him to comment. The Trump campaign signaled that the Republican presidential nominee would address the birther controversy, but the first 20 minutes of the event featured veterans telling the media why they supported...

In an effort to try and piece together a coalition of support, Hillary Clinton and her acolytes in the media have decided to reintroduce the Obama “birtherism” narrative. The Trump Campaign puts forth the following statement about Clinton’s efforts:

CNN’s most senior political journalists could barely contain their outrage on Friday morning after Republican nominee Donald Trump used an event that they expected to be about Birtherism to showcase his support from veterans, Medal of Honor winners, retired flag officers, and Medal of Honor winners.

Clinton’s campaign also spread photos of Obama wearing traditional Kenyan dress. David Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, called the Clinton campaign’s actions “shameful offensive fear-mongering”: “Plouffe said in a statement: ‘On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election. This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that...

Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008 until the Iowa caucuses, admitted on Friday that a Clinton campaign staffer had, in fact, circulated the Birther conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and therefore potentially ineligible to serve in the presidency. Doyle made the admission on Twitter, as she responded to former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. Fleischer said that Clinton’s staff had spread the rumor. Doyle said that was a “lie” — but admitted, in the same tweet, that she had fired the “rogue” staffer who had used email to spread...

Right now, the CBC is screaming and hollering thet Trump is a RACIST for his bitherism. This is HILARIOUS! Now Clyburn is comparing Trumpism to SLAVERY!!!

Hillary Clinton Absolutely LOST IT! “What Trump just did was a disgrace.” What Trump just did is a disgrace. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 16, 2016 More… The birther lie is what turned Trump from an ordinary reality TV star into a political figure. That origin story can't be unwritten. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 16, 2016 Trump has spent years peddling a racist conspiracy aimed at undermining the first African American president. He can't just take it back. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 16, 2016 Expressing zero regret for years of pushing a racist conspiracy theory, Trump again appointed...

Folks, hate is a terrible and wicked burden to carry openly. Robert Costa of the W/P got totally sucked in by Donald j. Trump, yesterday. Trump ld coats around like he was a six month old baby. Costa fired up his Clinton/Obama Media haters and they set loose a fury over the "Trump Obama, Birther" issue. They got all fired up, thinking they would slaughter Trump at a morning press conference that Trump openly announced. Not one of these Democrat idiots from FNC, MSNBC, CNN NBC , CBS, ABC, etc. saw the Trump sting coming. This morning the whole world...
