That's the disclaimer Breitbart wrote before posting that. The woman who made that booklet just assumed he was born in Kenya without fact-checking...probably because she thought it sounded better to the audience she was designing the booklet for. She didn't have any evidence he was born in Kenya; and a long time before Obama was running for president, she said it was her mistake. There was a NYT article the year before that correctly identified him as born in Hawaii. I guess your forgetting that we do -- in reality -- have his birth certificate. The burden of prof is on you guys to prove its fake. You guys do know he could still be president if he was born in Kenya....right? He never lied about that, and never had a reason to. And considering the kind of people that want dirt on Obama....we would have found something by now. | |||

You seem to be approaching this from the angle that we believe the record to be false or even care about this any longer. Most of us don't believe because we know what he was hiding now and we don't care because he has already served his 8 years and its now entirely irrelevant. Its also irrelevant because, as you said, he would still be eligible for presidency.
The point is only that there are good reasons why some people believed or still believe that he was actually born in Kenya - because HE said he was and if you actually think those things were printed in multiple places due to oversight, you have forfeited your objectivity.

Its not really that big of an oversight for some guest college lecture. No one who went to that thing would think less of him because he was born in Kenya. It's not like a vastly misleading biography or something. If he knew he would have a shot at being president some day -- it would have been a bigger deal. Edit: I appeciate you guys want to put this behind you -- now that you know its a losing political issue an all. But that's not how politics works. When you fuck up and a say a bunch of bullshit that looks stupid 2 years later -- the other side brings it up. That's how this works. | |||

Trump: he's man enough to admit when he's wrong.
He doesn't blame brain damage or pheumonia | ||

If someone I work for or someone that works for me prints something about me, in multiple places, and I don't go through the motions of having it changed and removed immediately, it stands as direct evidence that it was MY words or an accurate statement regarding me. To suggest otherwise is foolishness and intellectually dishonest.

CNN getting exactly what they deserve is wonderful. Trump tricked them into live broadcasting a 30 minute infomercial for him - complete with military endorsements and a tour of his new hotel. News bosses mutually agreed to erase the footage.
They're not mad he lied, they're mad because he made it clear how unimportant and irrelevant they are to him. Whether you like Trump or not, he did a good thing here. Thinking of birtherism as a race thing is easy and I understand it. But I think it misses the forest for the trees - all Democrat rule has been cast as illegitimate since the Reagan Revolution. Confront this instead of getting stuck in the racism quagmire. Or don't, whatever, I'm not your dad you don't have to listen to me. Welp, bye. | ||
