ABC: Obama Lied in Birth Certificate Press Briefing- 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.
Apparently, Obama did this now because internal White House polling showed that people were starting to listen to Trump and something like only 38% of the public was "strongly convinced" that Obama was a U.S. citizen.
As I mentioned once or twice before, I never really doubted Obama was a natural born citizen because of the fact his mother was a citizen.
Also I have some real problems with Trump as president (or a candidate).
But I have to give him credit for having the balls to hold Obama's feet to the fire.
The President broke like an insurgent on this.
It just goes to show you should always stand up for what you believe.
