Today the White House released the “long form” of President Obama’s birth certificate form Hawaii. Mind you, the official certificate of live birth had been available since before Obama took office more than 2 years ago. The entire Republican Party should be ashamed. Yes, all of them. Not one of the Republican “leaders” had enough spine to say flat out that the President was an American. The “leaders” let this nonsense go off for too long. “I take the President at his word.” Those are weasel words from “leaders.”
Just as culpable for this day of shame is the media outlets in this country. The first black President has had to show his papers. Again. We should be ashamed. Anyone who claims the title of journalist should be ashamed for giving time to this colossal non-issue.And that clown Trump. He took the credit today: “I did something that no one else was able to do.” As big a buffoon and media whore as he is, I want Trump to run for President. That is the face of today’s Republicans. So “birthers,” shut the hell up. And what about the 12 Republicans that have introduced a “birther bill” in the House? “Leader” John Boner should require them to withdraw the bill. And withdraw from the Republican Party. The Speaker's office released this statement today: "This has long been a settled issue. The Speaker's focus is on cutting spending, lowering gas prices, and creating American jobs.' By the way, since Republicans took control of the House, and despite their promise to focus on jobs, they’ve not created a single new American job. Nada. Zip. Squat. Now let’s work on jobs.
