I am really honored to have played such a big role in hopefully getting rid of this issue.” :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Yeah, I’m sure he played such a big role with his recent spouting of bullshit in the media. “You won’t believe what my private investigators found!” “But I won’t actually tell you what they found!” I saw an interview with Trump the other day with, IIRC, Anderson Cooper, and he completely dodged the question of what his alleged investigators found in Hawaii. From his hints, he certainly didn’t make it seem like “my investigators found proof that Obama was born in Hawaii, and I’m really proud of my part in squashing this moronic and unfounded rumor.” Quite the opposite. Trump was strongly implying that the “long form” certificate was lost, and gosh it looks like no one can find it. Then the President easily obtains two certified copies (requested them on April 22, 2011, provided to him on April 25, 2011). Certainly makes it seems like Trump and/or his investigators were full of crap (I’m leaning towards “and”). ---

_sniff_ Of course, this piece of paper in no way rules out the possibility that the child whose birth is recorded therein was strangled and swapped with something born of a jackal. [[cue music]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OkFLdPaoZQ) ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > And some birther will make a big deal of the fact the doctor is dead and hence part of the conspiracy. Exactly. Isn’t it convenient that the doctor who could verify the birth certificate and the signature on it are real because it is his signature is dead. Isn’t it also convienent that his wife/hired actress is now going on the news channels proclaiming that it was her “husband”, who is dead, was the doctor who delivered Obama. 😉 This is kind of fun. ---

Don’t be silly, of course the doctor who delivered Obama is real. Obviously he was traveling in Kenya at the time of the birth. Sorry, couldn’t resist. ---

Of course people are saying that a ‘ **Certificate** of Live **Birth** ’ isn’t a ‘ **Birth** **Certificate** ’. :rolleyes: But what amuses me is how many say the document was ‘obviously Photoshopped’. As if the Obama and his henchmen are so incompetent that they would use photo editing software to create a forgery. If that’s their (the crazies’) level of knowledge of spycraft and forgery, I want them to work for the Bad Guys. Oh, wait. They do. 😛 ---

Maybe the media will be so caught up in reporting the royal wedding for the next few days that they won’t find it necessary to aim a camera at Trump whenever he has to utter every stupid thought that pops into his head? Well, one can dream anyway. ---
