Donald Trump made Obama release his birth certificate

[Onkel Neal]

The birth announcements are compelling evidence, but certainly not conclusive. Those type of registrations are not verified in any way, someone simply needs to mail a form to the state health dept. I'm not suggesting that Papa Obama did that with an eye on the White House in 1961, but he or his wife may have been thinking about the issue of citizenship.

I agree 100% with the simplest scenario makes the most sense, I really don't think Obama was born in Kenya (and even if he was, with an American mother, he would still be a US citizen, right?). His mother moved around a lot but is there any evidence she went to Kenya around 1960-61?

All that aside, the delay over producing a legit birth certificate was stupid. Why bother lending any "credibility" (illusory or real) to the claims by responding at all? Well, if you can debunk some crazy with ease, it's dumb not to. Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to fight releasing a state birth certificate that could put to rest the questions.


This suspicious birth certificate with its edits even caught my attention, and until now I never paid any attention to the birthers and the true believers.
