Obama Finally Releases His Original Birth Certificate
By Robert Paul Reyes
"The White House today distributed copies of Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate, saying the president had long ago settled any questions about where he was born. Today's release was made because 'the president believes it was becoming a distraction," White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said'." Read more
The birth certificate Obama released today should be examined by experts to determine if it's a valid and legal document that hasn't been altered in any way.
We have every right to be skeptical, because Obama should have released his birth certificate years ago. Why did it take him so long to release the ultimate evidence that he was born in America?
I hope it's the genuine item so we can move forward as a nation and focus on the intractable problems that our nation faces. It was Obama's arrogance and stubborn refusal to release his original birth certificate that caused this controversy to dominate the political airwaves.
Obama's birth certificate issue wasn't a trivial or sideshow issue, it could be argued that it was the most important issue facing the Obama administration. If Obama wasn't born in the United States, then he would be an illegitimate president, and his every action as president would be a crime and an affront to the Constitution of the United States.
The so-called "birthers" should go down in history as patriots who held Obama accountable to the basic and cherished principle that no man is above the law. It was incumbent on Obama to release his birth certificate and they held his feet to the fire.
Donald Trump is a patriot and an American hero, he forced Obama to do the right thing.
Today is a victory for birthers, Donald Trump, and every red-blooded American who despises an imperial presidency.
