Trump and American people force obama to show BC today!

WHAT?! Why would he be president, and trying to imporve our country if he hated it?! Oh, I see, hes plotting our demise by blending in! SNEAKY!!! (FFS, stop being paranoid.)

This BC issue is stupid and a waste of time. Not sure why "the Donald" even wished to make a total ass of himself - Ok, he is an idiot. Does anyone really think that the appropriate channels were not followed when Obama filed the forms to run for President? That was when the BC was made public in the first place. Is this just a way to stay away from the issues, that the last President (BUSH) was the one who pushed the USA into the economic mess it is in? That the wars that he chose to join and get involved in put us all at risk in many ways? The countries around the world that think the USA is a laughing stock due to the past presidential term? That one term in office is not going to fix this mess?

I think it is a horrible mess that the American people feel that they need to "PROVE" that the current President is an American Citizen when the past president was such an American Idiot!

Unfortunately, he never would have needed to prove his citizenship if he was white :/

There are at least three people, probably more, on this forum that think he is not a natural born citizen. None of them has yet admitted that the long form birth certificate, released today, is proof that President Obama is natural born.

To answer your question, yes, this is a deflection away from the issues that concern our nation today. It is an attempt to delegitimize the President.

I seriously doubt that. It's all because he has a "D" after his name.

That's what this has been about all along... It's just another way to marginalize him and delegitimize him because the right-wing can't stand the idea of a black man in the White House...

My point.

Maybe the case, with THESE people. But if a white man was named Barrak Hussain Obama (Sorry, mis-spelt that I think) I bet these people may be a little less confident in their arguements. But yes, the "D" has a big meaning. PS: Whats with all the John Wayne references?

It's possible race has played a factor, but like I said, I doubt it. It's more likely that it's just because he's a Democrat.

Just my opinion, since those allegations are unprovable.

Agreed, unprovable, however, why is it that hes the first president that has had to prove his BC, and also the first black president?

Seems like that is too much of a coincidence.
