Donald Trump a "little skeptical" about Obama's birthplace

During an interview with "Good Morning America", businessman, and possible Presidential candidate, Donald Trump questioned President Obamas claim that he was born in Hawaii.

Donald Trump, never shy about voicing his opinion on controversial matters said: “Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him,” Trump said.

“If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life.

Trump said that he's a "little" skeptical Obama was born in Hawaii, despite documents showing that he was. " "The whole thing is very strange." Other people who question Obamas birthplace (birthers) who share his view shouldn’t be branded as "idiots," Trump said.

Chris Matthews, probably President Obamas most ardent and passionate of political commentators, publicly stated that the President "should release his original birth certificate and get this controversy over with once and for all". "Why has the President himself not demand they put out the document(original birth certificate) if it exists....why not put it out"?

Newly elected Governor Abercrombie of Hawaii a longtime Obama supporter, vowed to show the world proof of Obamas typewritten long form birth certificate. So far there has been nothing from the Governor in spite of his many public statements that after his election, his priority was to prove to the world Obama was born in Hawaii.

In the meantime there is a growing chorus for Mr. Obama to produce many other records of his past which have been sealed off to public view including: Passport records, Obama kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules(said to be lost), Medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license, Adoption records and of course the long-form Certificate of Live Birth.

Donald Trump is right to cast some doubt on the Presidents past and has the courage to voice what many in America are feeling. It seems that anyone who questions Obamas past and his qualifications to be leader of our country is marginalized as a"birther", or even worse, a racist.

I don't think it is unreasonable for the American Citizens to know everything they can about the man they might elect as President of their country, before the election!....And it is not unpatriotic to continue ask these questions now, even after the election.

Thank you Mr. Trump for speaking out about this.

Mr. Trump is right to question the probity of Barack Obama's short form document. Surprizingly Ms. Viera allowed him to explain his rationale in a much debated recent TV interview and he made good sense. To my personal knowledge and experience, the Soviets managed to import "Sleepers" (illegal KGB and GRU operatives) into this country by various methods which Obama or his facilitators could also have used to have his name falsely established in place of a child who died after birth before adequate controls were instituted. If one meticulously researches the current and past regulations for Hawaii there seems to be various means by which a substitution can be achieved. There are other loopholes that may pertain to Hawaii and other states and US Territories by which the Soviets and others then and now can penetrate our borders and establish false identities. Mr. Trump is rightly investigating this with an open mind undetered by those who denigrate his willingness to spend the money and bear the criticism that will be heaped upon him by the media and left wing protagonists. Let the chips fall where they may ... "Better an open mind than a vacant one." Let's resolve it one way or the other and be done with it!

That's right Advocate and the silence from the left is deafening. They want to turn it into a racist thing to even question this guys background and past, that's the actions of the desperate and their last line of defense. Whoopi Goldbergs sickening display on the View the other day epitomized that musk oxen mentality. One thing is for sure, now that Trump is forcefully behind the unmasking of obama...he will be unmasked. Then the Banshees of hell will be unleashed as we discover he is a fraud. Every piece of legislation with his name on it will be null and void.

Obama's Puppet-Masters will NEVER allow We the SHEEPle to see his actual, lawful Birth Certicate. This would cause great set-back to their One World Agenda. We can't even see his Law License or a school diploma. If you or I had Certificates from the schoolds HE SAYS he has, would they not be proudly displayed on your wall, just like at you Doctor's and Lawyer's office? No-body has seen any of his! WHY?

2BorNot2B... Sounds like you have the "inside track" about the "goings on" in state mental hospitals. I'll not be responding to any of your future comments directed to me. Let's just say I'm exercising my rights not to engage in your "bully" style of "free speech". Also when you stated; "I hear, however, men's rooms were a favorite hangout of his(Obama's) mother." Smearing the living is one thing, smearing the dead is a whole new level of low, even for you. I see responding to any future comments of yours meaningless and best to let people just view them as the pathetic entities that they are.

Trump could probably do better with his hair, but at least he is an American, and he likely knows at least a little how to keep his checkbook in the Black. That's a lot more than the professional PoliticalScumBags now in office! Problem is: We the SHEEPle don't care!

And I'm much more than a little skeptical about that weetabix on top of Trump's head! The main requirement to become President of the United States, as set by the U.S. Constitution, is proof of natural born citizenship. I learned this when I became a U.S. Citizen 11 years ago and if any of you had the pleasure of applying for naturalization you would not only know that but also know how impossible it would be to fake being born here! I’m sure you’ve all seen UFOs too.

Well if he has a lick of sense he'd BETTER be skeptical. Where there's smoke, there's fire, I always say. Fact is, exactly WHY can't I know what hospital Obama was born in? The time? Who the delivering physician was? Why is it that despite his supposedly spending TWO YEARS at Occidental College, no one has ever found any trace of him in old school class rosters, no photos of clubs show him, and absolutely NO ONE has come forward to say THEY knew him. As for Columbia University it's the same-one Columbia Grad actually claimed his "old girlfriend" knew him, but she's nowhere to be found, and even this Columbia Grad only recalled him as a BMW-driving Marxist, not as an actual student. Why is everything sealed if he's legit? Precisely what are they hiding and why? I will pause now for the traditional progressive "responses" of "Racist!" and "Hater who only wants to tear down the first Black President because he's Black!" Still waiting for a better response from the Left than, "The matter was settled by Nancy Pelosi. Just trust us." As for Jackals like Republican radio-host Hugh Hewitt, who mocked Tea-Partiers for not being unquestioning Republicans (until the Nov 2010 election results-now he has "a lot of friends" who are Tea-Partiers), and who continues to make jokes about "Stupid Birthers" who are "always good fo a laugh", we know EXACTLY how far to go along with YOUR ideas, now don't we?

OT but a capitalist idea on HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES: Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win- win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why didn't Bush or Obama think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? Sincerely, Bill Clinton

I notice not one Kool Aid (lime colored) drinker on this site dares to question Obamas sealing of his past records. Doesn't you find it odd that the one you elected has so many parts of his past under legal lock and key, defended by a stable of lawyers? Or is it best to bury your heads in the sand? Frankly I am ashamed of you.

Maybe he attended those schools, Etc., etc. in diguise; perhaps as a Muslim! If I had those diplomas and Certificates, they'd be proudly hanging on my office wall, just like your Lawyer or Doctor, yet NO ONE has ever seen ANY of his? That seems very strange indeed!!! Read Deut. 17:15 and 28:43, then pray for what's left of America...

For crying out loud, at least we were able to see Clintons, Bush and even algores grades (Bush got better grades than climate expert algore). But ALL of obamas school records are sealed. Is it because he was affirmative action and promoted into better schools because of his race? Do his grades reflect a lack of aptitude that would tarnish his carefully scripted "genius" image? I think the way he has been heading our country would reflect his bad grades, imho. BTW Any of you fawners out there have a copy of his IQ test?
