Obama Releases Full Birth Certificate

Obama had previously released an official "certification of live birth" showing he was born in Hawaii. But fringe "birther" theorists have insisted Obama was actually born in his father's native Kenya, making him ineligible to be president.
Recently potential Republican candidate Donald Trump has revived the rumour.
Today, Wednesday, Obama described the unprecedented move as an effort to rid the US political debate of a distraction, saying he had watched, puzzled and bemused, as the birther conspiracy had built and developed over the past years.
"We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama said. "We have better stuff to do. I have better stuff to do. We have problems we have to solve but we're going to have to focus on them, not on this."
The release of Obama's long form birth certificate, which had been stored in a vault in Hawaii since his birth in August 1961, comes after years of speculation among conspiracy-minded conservatives.
During the 2008 presidential campaign Obama released a computer print-out of the birth certificate information that is recognised as an official record of his birth, and Hawaiian public health officials vouched for its authenticity. But the move did little to quell the birthers.
On Wednesday, the White House released copies of the original birth certificate, with a stamp indicating it was received from Hawaiian officials on Monday.
It shows Barack Hussein Obama II was born 4 August 1961 at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, to Barack Hussein Obama, a 25-year-old student, and Stanley Ann Dunham, 18, and includes the signature of the attending physician.

That was easy enough, now Mr. Trump, what about sending out some of your investigators to find the Palin baby's birth certificate, no, I mean the REAL one. I'll bet they won't believe what they find! If it looks fake, maybe a DNA test would reveal the truth. Of course, it wouldn't prove anything, but it would be a juicy distraction from the real issues.

Trump's racist campaign against the president will not stop here he will continue this destructive hehavior to appeal to other racist bigots. This is only happening because the President is half -black people like Trump are morally bankrupt.

The issue has never been where president Obama was born, it's all about anger that a black man became president. Trump is banking on other ignorant, selfish white trash to support him while he babbles on about non-issues and stokes the flames of hate and bigotry. While the 10,000,000 plus natives of this land, murdered by the white man are lying silent in their graves, the so-called superior race is wasting precious time and resources to indulge themselves in this pointless rhetoric while the whole earth spins out of control, what a waste!
