Obama's Birth Certificate - Donald Trump Takes Charge

Newsmax printed on its website today an interview with Donald Trump. The topic was whether he’ll run for president in 2012. He seems to be making all the right noises and moves, but he says that he’ll decide by June if he’s a candidate.

During the interview, Trump was asked, yet again, why he insists that President Obama show his birth certificate. Trump has said often that he thinks the President must show proof of his American birth before the next election campaign, or he will lose on that issue alone.

Trump added, “Frankly, anybody that get’s labeled ‘birther’ — which is a very derogatory term, the way the press uses it — is automatically considered not a very smart person. The fact is: He doesn’t have a birth certificate, or he hasn’t shown it, and I’d love him to show it. Because, if I decide to run, I’d like to beat him straight up, not on an issue like this.”

“But, he shows a certificate of live birth, which is totally different. And I have to say, if this were Bush or somebody else, he would be run out of office,” adding that Obama’s grandmother in Kenya said he was born there.

“The grandmother in Kenya is on record saying he was born in Kenya,” Trump said. “The hospital has, not only no birth certificate — or if they have it they should produce it, maybe there is something on it, who knows — but they have no records that he was there. The family is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in. There is not one record, in any hospital in Hawaii, that Barack Hussein Obama was born there,” he added.

Mr. Trump seems to be determined to lead the charge to get a birth certificate out of Obama. I hope he succeeds, because (1) it would be so simple to produce his birth certificate that not doing so makes everyone very suspicious that Obama was not born in America, or that the certificate shows his religion as Muslim (that would be fine if he would just admit it), and (2) every US President must be born on American soil and if Obama was not, he is defrauding the America people and should pay for the lie, legally and politically.
