Unreal… Obama’s Excuse For Releasing His BC Was BS
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 28, 2011, 5:59 AM
It figures.
Barack Obama told the press yesterday that the reason he was releasing his long-form birth certificate was because the media was not reporting on the budget debate.
Not true.
Jake Tapper at ABC reported:
The president said he was prompted to act “two weeks ago, when the Republican House had put forward a budget that will have huge consequences potentially to the country, and when I gave a speech about my budget and how I felt that we needed to invest in education and infrastructure and making sure that we had a strong safety net for our seniors even as we were closing the deficit, during that entire week the dominant news story wasn’t about these huge, monumental choices that we’re going to have to make as a nation. It was about my birth certificate. And that was true on most of the news outlets that were represented here.”
But the president was wrong.
According to Pew’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, that week the dominant news story was without question the economy.
The ridiculous claims about the president’s birth certificate actually was the No. 4 story for the week – receiving about one tenth of the coverage devoted to stories about the economy.

A narcisisst like him would probably perceive criticisms as being way more harsh and prevalent than they really are. And he probably thinks his personal issues are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. His ego may have done him in this time. Let’s hope so.

Seven Real Reasons to Think Obama Long Form BC is a Forgery
FarRight commented:
The case is closed, the horse is dead. Move on.
Militant Conservative commented:
I think Obama was shrewd to release the fake BC when he did. The Royal wedding will bump all of this hoopla off the main page. His numbers are in free fall and Obama is detested by a plurality of Americans for his policies that have caused too much unnecessary suffering.
Obama is the cause of America’s problems.
powder is dry.
gastorgrab commented:
I agree. Let’s get back to the issues.

What’s the deal with the STILL INCREASING unemployment numbers?
How come our GDP is falling flat?
How come only Obama’s friends get waivers for ObamaCare?
How long is the temporary, humanitarian, kinetic-action in Libya supposed to last?
Why did Eric Holder kill the investigations of CAIR?
Is an Executive Order anything like a magic wand? Can it do just about anything?
In what forum are the Journolistas now coordinating their lies?
Has Obama EVER admitted to making a mistake?
Why are we encouraging Brazil (and paying them) to prospect for new petroleum sources while at the same time shrinking the American access to their own?
Why does the federal government keep nationalizing state land?
How many GREEN investments made by the federal government are benefiting donors to Democratic campaigns?
Will Obama ever admit that any tax-raising solution to the national debt will have to increase taxes on the middle class, because ‘the rich’ dont have enough collective wealth, even if the government seized 100% of it, to pay for the economic damage?
Had Enough commented:
@FarRight…..case closed just like Global Warning? Everybody thinks just because he finally $hit a document that it is all good. This just looks like another cover-up. Why spend that much money to hide $hit if it really doesn’t matter?

Obama — Incompetent, Inept, Inexperienced & now Inexcusable! O-buma!
donh commented:
Obama is desparate to abort this issue. His united front prevent defense media smack down of this issue from all political perspectives was FAILING . They needed a half time field change of sides. The government media complex continues its war to void the issue and bully the public to drop it. The fact the certificate is a forgery WORSENS the issue. I thought Obama was just hiding some embarassing facts like who his real father is. Now I am MORE inclined to believe Ann Dunham had her baby abroad, and her parents wanting the best for their grandchild had the foresight to put in place a document fix. They did not conspire to make their baby eligible to be President in some elaborate communist plot . They just wanted the child to have all the benefits of US citizenship. There is likely all kinds of similar document foregeries going on in America to give amnesty to illegals on a case by case basis.

The guy lies so much and is so full of BS only fools believe anything he says. He has a credibility gap far worse than Nixon and makes Clinton’s lies look amateurish.

No, the president was not wrong. He lied.

The “Birther Tactic” was an Epic Fail once Trump made it mainstream….as demonstrated by the polls & Soetero’s reaction…
Now it becomes about the “Most Transparent Administration” lying and concealing from the get go….School Records please….
Exposes the Media complicity….the racist hypocrisy…panic…panic…panic….
Combined with a disaster policy on all fronts….yeah….
Obama = Watergate + Carter
FarRight commented:
I will bet anyone of you anything you want to name that no articles of impeachment will ever be brought against Obama. You are clinging to a fantasy that, far from bringing Obama down, will discredit the conservative movement and the GOP if we insist on clinging to it.
And I could not care less whether the powder is dry or not.

clinging to what fantasy exactly…..Asking Soetero to release his records is what it is….and so is his reaction to it….If opponents can use his secrecy against him more power to them…

That was Obama’s plan all along.
He wants the public to ignore the hard evidence that he is the worst president in US history, and go for the low hanging fruit.

Bill Mitchell commented:
So Obama chooses to release his BC the same day as the worst tornadoes in a generation are predicted, thus guaranteeing domination of the news cycle by NOT the BC?
The MSM is completely incurious that the Obama Camp previously announced that the BC they had released in 2008 was the ONLY one? That the Governor of HI said only a month ago that the BC could not be found? That Obama spent millions preventing this very event?
If only they had treated Watergate so gently.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Obama’s honestly IS an issue.

Ed, Watertown MA commented:
Yesterday was a perfect example of the fact that Birtherism has a major racist factor among it’s followers.
To show that Obama was not “legitimate” Donald Trump:
1. Attacked his Americanism by claiming that the State of Hawaii certified Birth Certificate issued in 2008 was not real and he must be hiding something. When this was proven false when Obama got a waiver to release the long form, Trump pivoted to…
2. Well, Obama then can’t be legitimate because everyone knows that blacks can’t get into an Ivy League school unless they cheat through Affirmative Action (though for some reason Trump didn’t mention the unearned admissions gained by the “My daddy’s a millionaire” clause). And just to put the racist code word garnish on the day…
3. Trump then said that Obama should be concentrating on more important issues if “…he can just get himself off the basketball court…”
Okay, now tell me that this effort isn’t just all code words to trigger racial fears in some voters? That it’s not just another extension of Richard Nixon’s Southern Strategy, the cornerstone of the modern Republican party?
Whether this is real racism or just a cynical exploitation of the issue by conservative leaders, I can’t tell you; but don’t try to tell me that this delegitimization of the first black President doesn’t have a racial component at its core.

Even if the story was only #4 , 1,2 and 3 were not good news for obama and this was the only one he had the ability to effect. Surprise! i found some actual ability in obama,it was as hidden as the BC.
Guest #? commented:
This whole debate over his bc is fascinating. It’s like he believes he’s the messiah and Trump is the antagonist trying to stop him from saving the world. In what level of journalistic standard does a PDF of a document serve as “proof”?

In your dreams. B.O. delegitimized himself. When will you libs get it through his head that the color of his skin is not an issue. And in case you don’t remember, B.O. is also half white and his black part of him is mostly Arab. The racism charge is a charade and cover-up for not getting to the problem with this administration.
He is incompetent. Clear and simple. He lies. We don’t like lying. He has been caught at it more than once. Tapper just caught him in another one.
Please take your “racism” tripe back to Kos Kids or DUmmies because it just doesn’t fly here.
If you were around here more, you would find a lot of support for Allen West and Herman Cain. Check out the color of their skin. We care more about the interior of the person than the exterior. You might try the same since your accusation of “racism” is racism in reality.

And I would like to remind our new troll that many of us respect and support Condoleezza Rice. You might want to check out her skin color.
I used to support Colin Powell until he turned less intelligent than I had thought by supporting B.O. over John McCain.

It was affecting his poll numbers. Period. I don’t believe a word that comes out of that man’s mouth.
heyitsmekelly commented:
All I can say is Prez-BO did not release his birth certificate in a court of law and he doesn’t have to answer any questions as to it’s authenticity. He even stated in the news conference that this will still not be good enough for some people. If ever this goes in front of a court of law , what Prez-BO says is his certified long form birth certificate is just that. BELIEVE IT OR NOT !!!

You know that country song “wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about number one…” I think that chorus should be dedicated to the President.
Molon Lobe commented:
Obamao’s lips were moving. Proof positive he was lying again.
I wonder what the average IQ is of the drooling fools who voted for him?
dwd commented:
He released it because the polls kept getting worse and worse, to the point that only 38% of Americans were sure he was born here.
That’s the reason, and the only reason.

Hello Gus. You “own” me? Really? How? I was unaware of it until now. Please explain.

I hope “U K La Lee” is a real person. Sounds awfully like a Hawaiian instrument. . .
Hope we are not being played
If this is a joke OBAMA and his crew is playing on the American people. . . what disdain and arrogance this displays.
whoframedrudy commented:
“don’t try to tell me that this delegitimization of the first black President doesn’t have a racial component at its core.”
So the ‘first black president’ should also be the first president, certainly in my lifetime, not to be the target of a hardball opposition campaign–just because he is black?
Bush stole 2000 and 2004, Kennedy was a communist with V.D., Nixon was Caligula, Reagan was senile; no, Reagan was actually just a plastic dummy. No wait, Gerald Ford was the plastic dummy. What was the ‘racial component’ of Hillary’s vast right wing conspiracy? Americans eat Presidents for lunch. But you want us to patronize Obama because he is black. You patronizing racist!
Mike commented:
Right. Let’s get back to the “issues”.
“Issues” being all the other “issues” that are not the “issue” of an unconstitutional president, you mean.
How people say that the BC is not an issue shows they’re focused on these individual things without looking at the big picture. Your asking for a president to act honorably, and protect the constitution, when he lied to get into office in the first place.
It’s like saying “The fox is in the henhouse, it’s a dead issue, lets get back to the real issues of how to improve egg production!” While the fox is eating your hens.
Wake up folks, this is the issue.
