Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Trump got into a heated row over President Obama's birth certificate on "The View".
Trump who has been talking about running for president has been getting some attention of his comments about Obama's citizenship.
On "The View" Trump said "Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?"
Goldberg cut in with "Why should he have to?"
Trump insisted "Because I have to and everybody else has to, Whoopi." Trump said he believed Obama has a birth certificate. However, he said that the President should show it to remove the "pall" hanging over him.
The millionaire celebrity also questioned by "nobody from [Obama's] early years remembers him" and wondered whether there was "something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like."
This was the final straw for Goldberg and Barbara Walters. Goldberg said "That's a terrible thing to say…oh my God...that's the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages…it's not 'cause he's black, is it?" Trump said it had "nothing to do with that."
Golberg continued "Because I've never hear any white president being asked to show his birth certificate…When you become the president of the United States of America, you know that he's American. I'm sorry. That's just B.S."

God I've never witnessed so many racist bigots on one site. You teaparty hypocrites just can't get over the fact that you have a smart black president.

I can' BELIEVE anyone pays attention to anything Whoopi Goldberg let's come out of her yap! Clearly, her brain is not hooked up to that mouth. Ms. Goldberg lost her argument the second she injected race. Jamthecat, no issue has been made about where John McCain or any other presidential candidate was born simply because it wasn't a secret. McCain has never tried to hide the fact that he was born in the Canal Zone. Why should he? The requirement says you must be "a natural-born citizen of the United States of America." Do you honestly think that we should deny any child of the military who is born while the parent is on active duty outside the U.S. the right to run for the U. S. Presidency? Please!

Obama is 1/2 white and 1/2 black, so race is not a possible issue! Some herin say his BC has been viewed, Where and by whom? A Certificate of Live Birth has went around, but that is NOT a Birth Certificate. Something evil is amiss here folks... Bad, Wicked, and Evil!

How does he travel abroad with out a Passport? The Birth Certificate is REQUIRED to obtain a passport! (An official, long-form BC with a government Seal on it. Not a Certificate of Live Birth; that won't do!)

Why does such a creature as "Whoopi, (Just at her dress code on the show and listen to her mouth), bring up race? "Because I never hear of any white president being asked to show his Birth Certificate..."
Obama is a Mamzer! He IS as much white as he is black! How can race enter when he is both? He is a product of miscegenation, People! Sad for him, worse for us!
Pray for America and her troops... Japan also. Thank you.

Trump is right. I had to show my birth certificate to get a job, but Obama doesn't.
It is all about the Civil Rights.
Ron Paul has a good idea repeal the Civil Rights Laws.
More Irish American have been discriminate in employment through Affirmative Action, then at any time in Irish American History.

No, Towngate - Mother Obama's passport records were "purged to save file space on the computers", all quite innocent...
No, Deidra47, just about ALL of Obama's early life is a mystery. If you think it's not, then YOU tell me what time Obama was born, who the attending physician was, what hospital? Where? The only actual "certification" he got was the clearance of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. That's it. I don't trust Nancy.
Was he Editor of Law Review? Sure. Did he publish anything?_ Just try to find it. All of his education is "sealed." WHY?
Whoopee jumps up and down because she's not as stupid as she looks, and she knows, where there's smoke, there's fire.

His mothers National Residential and Passport Stamps would surely indicate where he was born - unless being Irish she had him by an Immaculate Transcendental Maternity
that transported him from Mombasa to Hawaii ....

I think Donald Trump is right on. Obama is a paid employee of every taxpayer in this country. When I applied for a job, I needed to show proof of my identity and citizenship. I also needed to show educational background as well. I needed to show a birth certificate to get a drivers license and a passport. Why should Obama be any different and lets not get into the race thing because I'm white and expect to have to produce these things myself. As one of his many Employers of this country, I agree with Donald Trump that he should be made to produce all of the above. Also, what happened to his law degree and Michelles? Why were they taken away?

These people still yelling that Obama is not an American are morons. When these guys start running for President, their whole life is put under a magnifying glass. There is a group that goes into every detail and if there is anything to be found, they will find it.

All the hoopla is because Obama's father is from Africa. His mother lived there. It is very possible he was born there since he refuses to show his birth certificate.
