...and today's reaction to this has been the worst case scenario. This is a sordid and sad chapter in American history.

If you would have told me that American racism was capable of a retrenchment of this magnitude, I never would have believed you.


baleen - 2011-04-27

I would have. We live in a profoundly racist country. Obama has exposed the hate that pumps through the veins of conservatives everywhere. If they went to Hawaii and looked at the piece of paper, it wouldn't answer to their bloodlust.


Zarathustra00 - 2011-04-27

"There's going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest."

I think that everyone who ever believed that Obama was not born in the US or whatever this conspiracy claims are in that group. Last poll I saw put that at 42% of the Republican party (link to poll below). I assume Fox News reaction to this was to criticize how Obama is trying to turn attention away from the real issues and Donald Trumps was to stick his fingers into his ears and hum loudly.

tl;dr His pronunciation of certification made me smile.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

The use of the "R" word is typical liberal desperation. Most birthers didn't fear his race, they feared his hyped and his ideologies. Add the fact that he wouldn't show the birth certificate with his exotic heritage and you have the birther movement. Obama gave them all the ammunition they needed.


Bort - 2011-04-28

They feared his race, but as has been standard procedure for the past 30 years, they couldn't come right out and say what they meant. So they said they didn't think Obama was a real American. There's no way a white president would have been put through this ... and in fact, history backs me up on that.

Obama handled it correctly, I think: you don't scramble to counter every ninnified accusation that Republicans or racists make, because you'll never satisfy your critics, but you risk legitimizing them while exhausting yourself. On the other hand, if a given issue has taken on an unnatural life of its own, eventually you have to deal with it; just be sure to shame your critics for wasting so much time on something so obviously stupid.


baleen - 2011-04-28

LOL cena shut up you dumb hick.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

You are aware that 99% of birthers would be proud to vote for the likes of Condi.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

38% Of people in this country questioned his birthplace. 38% of our population are not racist. Racism is dead in America, but the liberals won't let it die. They need it as a smear tool. According to liberals America is a hateful, racist, bigoted place. Get over it. Its over.


Bort - 2011-04-28

99% percent of Birthers would hate Condi even more than they do Hillary. They would struggle with synonyms for "uppity".


Squeamish - 2011-04-28

Cena, you are the most wonderful troll.


jangbones - 2011-04-28

Cena is always amusing, but how arrogant do you have to be to think that you are the only one who has discovered the magical secret of posting on different sites under different names?

More than once now, he's said "hey, watch me go troll those idiots on poetv some more, they have no idea!" and I'm like "um, yeah, go get 'em champ."


Jane Error - 2011-04-28

The GOP are deeply racist, they just find more socially acceptable ways to articulate how Obama is "different," by transposing his racial difference into political difference (he's a socialist), religious difference (he's a Muslim) or national difference (he wasn't born in this country).


Toenails - 2011-04-27

THAR BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAR


mouser - 2011-04-27

Funny how the major news outlet omitted the part where Obama blames each and every one of them represented during this specific speech.


abeli$con - 2011-04-27

as usual painful to watch

can't wait for 2012


misterbuns - 2011-04-27

What is going to happen in 2012?


RomancingTrain - 2011-04-27

Cosmic rays are going to burn the Earth to cinders.


Toenails - 2011-04-27

The United States officially adopts the Amero and abeli$con gets to change his name to abeli₳con.


Mother_Puncher - 2011-04-27

HAARP melts the polar ice caps in an attempt to disprove climate change by eliminating the need to study the effects of pollution on our environment.


oddeye - 2011-04-27

Obama gets re-elected


Paracelsus - 2011-04-28

1. Mayan 'Astrology' books and assorted hoo-hah, five cents each
2. Obama is reelected, because the Republican field is like the villains in the Laff-a-Lympics.


misterbuns - 2011-04-27

Not so fast, oddeye. The GOP still has time to endorse Snooki as their candidate.


Toenails - 2011-04-27

::::STATEMENT OF THE OBVIOUS:::::

World Net Daily has taken the newly released birth certificate as PROOF that Obama is ineligible for the presidency.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=292441

(Remove spaces where needed, I hope this text doesn't become bold)

::::END OF THE OBVIOUS::::


Toenails - 2011-04-27

I'm not going to shit the hopper up tonight, so instead I'll just this page to post youtube videos that have taken up the task to "debunk" Obama's birth certificate. If you find any of them worthy, put them on the front page/hopper yourselves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgVIei87oFo --INTERNET DETECTIVE SAYS THE .PDF HAS LAYERS!!!! Or he just obviously just spent a few seconds in photoshop making the layers. Whatever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNRn4oLvFIs --Man opens up the .pdf in a text editor to look for clues. But, has no idea what he's looking at.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y4dIn5vPVc --Rush Limbaugh "weighs" in. Get it? lol he's a fat fuck!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP3haAa69bI --FUCK YOU TRUMP, I GOT MY FOODSTAMPS CUT BY TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT BECAUSE THEY ARE BOMBING LIBYA!!!!


Toenails - 2011-04-27

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyuYIw0JsXU --Man find several red flags, but the biggest red flag of them all is that he can't use "Google Earth" to find a hospital from 49 years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM9ENhuf0Ug --Birth Certificate is a forgery, set to Circus Music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTWM361nOhk --Not only does something something left-hand margin something something. But Obama may have been a twin or a triplet!!!! Oh and the registrar is lazy.

SUPER BONUS BEST PART OF THIS VIDEO: "David A. Sinclair, the M.D. who purportedly signed the document, died nearly eight years ago at [the] age of 81. So[,] he his conveniently unable to answer questions about Obama's reported birth." You just trolled my eyes out good sir, bravo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzs01ne5CVs --Oh whoops, did we say multiple layers? Yeah I guess there's just that one layer. Our bad.


pastorofmuppets - 2011-04-27

It's awesome that they've decided to boost his legacy by making sure that the only criticisms of him that get made on television are easily-dismissed nonsense.


Millard - 2011-04-27

In a weird way I wish they hadn't said anything. Anyone who believes this stuff obviously wasn't voting for him anyway, and it's such a huge amount of time and energy wasted on the part of his political opponents.


oddeye - 2011-04-27

The 5 mins he wasted on this could have been spent signing the order to end gitmo bay.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

He's not going to shutdown Gitmo. That's one of many false promises swallowed by you naive morons.


baleen - 2011-04-28

Sure he is, after he's reelected. lol shut up cena you dumb hick.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

No he's not Baleen you naive, idealistic, liberal douche. Think of all the promises he's failed to keep. What about his promises for transparency?


StanleyPain - 2011-04-28

Phht..so he's an American.


But is he HUMAN????


Space Helicopter - 2011-04-28

Hey, you can never disprove secret Muslim!

And just you wait 'til Larry Sinclair decides to hit up the airwaves again. Will Obama finally have to reveal his penis to America?


kingarthur - 2011-04-28

Now if he had taken the birth certificate, reared back, and jammed it so far up the ass of the nearest Tea Partier that it came out his mouth, I would have considered the meeting productive.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

You got to admit the Birthers have succeeded in trolling the president.


simon666 - 2011-04-28

Nah. You've got to admit the President has properly appropriated the birther's framework of discourse, effectively sublating their argument into a new discourse about what's good for America and how Obama is good for America. President trolled the trolls lolololololol.


baleen - 2011-04-28

lol shut up you dumb hick


Hammer Falls - 2011-04-28

Not really. If anything succeeded, it was Trump and his publicity whoring... for whatever he's trying to do.


cognitivedissonance - 2011-04-28

He should've had a big pie chart and said "THIS IS THE 38% OF AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT THINK I AM NOT AN AMERICAN." And then he'd flip over a plastic overlay and he'd say "THIS IS THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS THAT ALSO FIT THE DSM IV'S DEFINITION OF MENTAL ILLNESS."


baleen - 2011-04-28

All he has to do is stand there and the racist, anti-American Cena-markian south just kind of burbles into their jello and cries during youtube videos. It's really easy.


spikestoyiu - 2011-04-28

I had intended on releasing my birth certificate yesterday, too, and then the dumb President had to go and steal my thunder.


Rovin - 2011-04-28

I know, damned buzzkill.


Cena_mark - 2011-04-28

One argument saying our country is racist says "No other president has had to put up with this conspiracy crap until Obama"
Well at least nobody accused him of doing 911.


Black Napkins - 2011-04-28

Any viewer of cable access television will tell you that isn't true. I should go track some of that down.


TeenerTot - 2011-04-28

I think my favorite part came after this, when Trump claimed credit for making it happen.


memedumpster - 2011-04-28

And while he's the shittiest liberal to ever be president, we get to watch Donald Trump do the Birther Dance on MSNBC so they don't have to report the news either.

I'm now assuming it's Obama himself who keeps this shit going so he can keep using the CIA to rape the world's other brown population.

I'm voting Palin.


Robin Kestrel - 2011-04-28

Dennis Miller on O'Reilly last night said the president was "obstinate", and that is why he did not release it before now. "That's all this is. He doesn't like to be told what to do."

He also called Obama "thin-skinned". (See Bort, lots of ways to get around saying "uppity".)

Oh, then he called for Julian Assange to be murdered by the CIA.

I guess my point is that Dennis Miller is still a cunthole.


Paracelsus - 2011-04-29

Dennis Miller would be happy to suck some SS cock if they told him he was a clever little fellow.
