If Obama's mom was so ingenious

to place "phony" birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers, somehow forge
birth certificates soon thereafter to use for enrollment to schools, later for
the draft, later for college, later for a marriage certificate, etc. etc.

Why didn't she just have the baby in Hawaii?

This, to me, is the one question that makes this whole birther thing incredibly
ridiculous.

BTW, wouldn't there be any copies somewhere - doctor's offices? school records,
scholarship files? somewhere?

With this nonsense from Trump - I have to go back to something my Great Grandmother Weiss-Von Bargerstock used to say -


If you think people are cheats/cheating you - it's probably because you do it yourself.


If anything Donald Trump is showing his TRUE face. He 'cheats' to get ahead. He KNOWS he does - and he thinks everyone else does.

That's exactly what they think. They think everyone is always trying to screw people the same way they are. I was married to a POS like that. Was always 'joking' about ingenious ways I 'could be' cheating. Guess who was the cheater?

It's called projection.

2. "The Donald" is still smarting from the face to face bitch-slap he received from Obama

at the White House Correspondent's Dinner.

"The Donald" is very good at snide, disparaging remarks with Obama hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Well, The Donald was in the same room as President Obama handed the snide, cheap-shot thousandaire his ass on a silver platter.

Plus, his ego demands he get air time any way possible.

what they did back in the '60s. Perhaps they still do it today, I often see birth announcements in the paper. These people are tiring me out.

in the paper. They showed they could not -- the announcements came directly from the health department. they found someone born about the same time - they went with him and got the exact same looking copies of birth certificates that Obama got.

I smell a rat. I think Romney is in cahoots with Trump. He probably said, "Yes, you stir the shit up" and I'll say I don't agree.

6. So the hospital was part of this conspiracy!

I knew it! Knowing he would grow up to be president and wanting a president born in Hawaii, they conspired with Obama's mother to lie and claim he was born in Hawaii!

She figured better to be safe than sorry on the off chance that her son would want to be president.
