Obama Finally Releases Long Form Birth Certificate
In an effort to silence the “birther” movement — including presidential hopeful Donald Trump — U.S. President Barack Obama today released the long form of his much talked about birth certificate.
Many people (who don’t read) fail to realize that the short form of Obama’s certificate of live birth was released by the White House in 2008 when Obama was elected president. The long form only contains a few more impertinent details.
The short form (which was released in 2008) is on the left.
Many critics are asking, “why now?”. Why not two years ago when the issue of his citizenship first arose?
Some are suggesting that Obama, a known narcissist, only released the long form now because he fears losing something he values most (his job).
Obama told White House reporters that he had “better stuff to do” than to discuss his birth certificate that has been an emotional boilerplate since before he was elected.
“We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do,” Obama said. “We’ve got big problems to solve, and I’m confident we can solve them, but we’re going to have to focus on them, not on this.”

<————- that's what Obama's doing at the white house today to all them dumb ass Republicans and trailer trash people trying to discredit him!!!
Nobody is looking at the bigger issue that this idiot with a possum on his head for a hairdo is a fuggin racist. Now he is saying that he doesn’t understand how a person like “him”-Barack graduated from Harvard. Somebody needs to comb that nicca head—TRUMP literally!!1
Donald Trump just handed Obama another 4 years in the white house….
Thanks Donald…we appreciate that!!!
President Obama does have better stuff to do and if he was any other (white)president he wouldn’t have ever had to address this nonsense in the first place; let alone almost three years after being elected.
Barack looks like his mother and so does Malia…..
Ima run for president
He should have released this next year to fire people up on the Democratic side…
But you see we have always had it a lil harder and Barack is showing them fools I aint stuntin you fools!
@WCC
Before I promise you my vote, I need to know where you stand on the important issues.
So…Bey or Rih?

His grades damn sure didnt quailify him….white people get on my damn nerves always trying to make US prove some chit….I’ll be glad when we finally prove (get some DNA) that Jesus was really black….since they always wanting is to prove some chit….lets see how fast they loose their religion then….
Im with the President we got bigger issues to address….has anybody seen Bin Laden????? Nope didnt think so…..ENOUGH! SMH
“We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do,” Obama said.

How come you didn’t say anything about Man’s pic of you and him
Aqtpie I love your gravi they both look so handsome wise and strong
Case closed! By the way, why doesn’t Trump build another hotel and generate some jobs????

“We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do,” Obama said.

Could you imagine someone dwelling on the birth place of JFK or Bill Clinton??? This issue has never been raised with a current, sitting President. Its time for someone of integrity to stand up in the media and announce that these inquisitions are completely race-based, therein… RACIST!

@ Sandra, I think you place those Trump ad banners on purpose.
And of course we know this won’t completely shut down the birthers…what a bunch of f’n fools.
All Obama had to do was release this form when the speculation first arose. But no, he had to be stubborn. It’s human nature to assume he was hiding something.
and then there’s the truth. says:

Is inviting beyonce, jayz, willow smith and nem to the white house considered …”better things to do” ?? I hope not

Id rather be doing that than arguing with a bunch of rednecked white folk about whether or not I was born in America….
I see why other countries laugh at us….cause we are a joke…we compalin about the issues, yet we make a big deal over a fukiing birth certificate…hell Mexicans sneak over all the time….
I wonder if Trump is asking for Visas and green card for all them illegal Mexicans that clean his hotels….or the ones that landscape his yard…or the ones that are nannies to his ugly ass children…
I do agree that he should have just played the game and released his birth certificate. We have the right to know where our President was born… Isnt all President’s birth records published?
@ Sandra I guess this clears up he’s a muslim…Oh wait..You’re never getting off the bandwagon!
And no, I am not a kool-aide drinker. I warned people in 2008 that they are going to be disappointed if they think BHO is the 2nd coming of the messiah. After all, he’s still an imperfect human being. Let’s get back to business in this country and stop the foolery!
@Sandra
You don’t think his backround wasn’t thoroughly vetted before he even thought about running…………
Thanks Choco!
Donald Trump needs to git somewhere and sat down! Still watching NeNe and Star on Celebrity Apprentice this Sunday though!!
Its ashame that he has to go through all of this just because a stupid balding man is an idiot…..smh
West Coast Chick says:
“Is inviting beyonce, jayz, willow smith and nem to the white house considered …”better things to do” ?? I hope not”
Umm, didn’t the President invte Willow Smith (which is a kid) to the White House for the Annual Easter egg roll?? Didn’t she perform for all the kids that were there?
I think all this is going on b/c we have a BLACK FAMILY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BLACK MAN as President…..When BUSH had Tim Mc Graw, Clint Black, Faith Hill, Dolly Parton and their families in White House, we didn’t hear about that, did we??? This whole thing is a bunch of racist BS!
And for everyone who thinks what he released in 2008 wasn’t a birth certificate…HELLO! The state laws in Hawaii forbids release of it. So BHO got denied in 2008 b.c the short form (as it clearly states at the bottom) is legally evidence in court. Hawaii uses the short form to protect the privacy of it’s citizens. Everyone who is born in Hawaii would be given the short form. …new story please! f’n idiots!

Didnt he have to show his proof citizenship when he first applied to become preident…NO OTHER president has had to go through this bull chit…..This is plain racist and the media and white folks know it…
_____________________________________
The fact that his daddy was African and Muslim is the issue…they are scared that he is secretly working with the Arabs and chit…white folks are so scared of losing everything they have stole throughout their history….they better know they cant control what God has in store for them….
What people fail to realize is he cannot change the problems of America in one term he stated he would need at least 2 terms to get things back in order. People want instant results and thats just not the case with our economy, employment rates, etc. it takes time for those things to turn around.
@SANDRA
No other president has ever been forced to show his birth certificate and maybe Obama was didn’t feel he should have to prove himself to a few crackpots.
Now is that your way of saying you were wrong for believing that Obama isn’t a natural born US citizen?
KDILLION
why do i read your comments in stewie’s voice
@Sandra
He wasn’t being stubborn he didn’t have to even release it now- I’m sure his supporters even political were aware of his birth – Y spend so much campaign money for something like lying on where you were born from EFF it UP!
I mean damn John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone..does that mean he’s a US citizen??? But no one made a big stink about it…give me a break.
I mean let’s hold EVERYONE’S feet to the fire on an equal opportunity basis.

He played the game just right….its almost time to start his re-election campaign…this couldnt have come at a better time…now he can shut those folks up who keep doubting he is a citizen…now they need to find another reason NOT to vote for him….
The fact that he even had to Re-show is birht certificate is ludacris to me…its pure racism…..
@Dillon
He shouldn’t have to play that game if that’s the case they will start making a lot of us prove we are born in America!

This issue has been discussed on The View several times. They have people who verify this information before he was elected President. He gave the short form, why does he have to give the long form? No other President had to do this….now Sandra, we all have asked Bush to step down with his dumb ass and he didnt. Just because you ask doesnt mean you have to receive plus he gave the short form that gave the important info we needed, which was he was born in the US. Enuff said….I still dont get why is this an issue? The man has been an elected official for several years, I’m sure if he was not a US citizen, wouldnt this have came out when he was in Chicago? I mean really, the country has bigger issues…like the unemployment rate, gas prices, etc…
Obama has to shuck and jive enough as it is.
Expecting him to immediately and happily cave in to ignorance is just beyond my comprehension.
That idiot Trump better find a birds nest to put on his head and leave my President alone!!!
At this point, it doesn’t matter. Releasing the truth will not change people’s mind and they will come up with another excuse as to why he should have never been president.
The next issue will be his father’s race and how it pertains to obama’s citizenship. They will say because his father is African, that makes in ineligible to be President.
I’ve always believed that he was able to produce his birth certificate, I was a little bothered that he gave in and did it though.

White folks need to give me a damn certificate…I want a tribal certificate…tell me what area of Africa did you snatch my family from….give me a certificate on that so I can see where Im really from…
Hell at least Obama knows his roots…
They are making a big deal about it b/c a BLACK MAN is President. I heard that now Trump believes that our President did not get into Harvard Law School on his own, or write his book on his own, and wants Obama to display his educational records, starting from High School.
Did President Bush (pick one) have to disclose his educational records, AFTER he was elected to office? Did Reagan? Kennedy? Mikki Fikkin Teddy Roosevelt?
Wake up family…..Racism concealed
The man has been an elected official for several years, I’m sure if he was not a US citizen, wouldnt this have came out when he was in Chicago? I mean really, the country has bigger issues…like the unemployment rate, gas prices, etc…

This story is a mess and so is the one about the “afterbirthers.” They want to test his DNA with the placenta from his birth. WTH?!?!?!?!
Why do I get the feeling that his momma was one of them down azz yt women who stood up for her kids and would be cussing Donald Trump the heyl OUT via press conferences right about now if she was alive…???
Her: Barry IS America (digs in her purse and pulls out her mother’s copy of his birth certificate). THERE. HE IS..what is the problem? Where is YOUR birth certificate Donnie? Hmmm? Where is it?
When I say play the game I am meaning that if there was not issue with his birth certificate then he should have showed others and his supporters. Being that it is just a little birth certificate then why it take so long to present? Obama is the spokesperson for our country, it doesnt look good if we Americans dont even know where our leader is from.
not entertaining the foolishness today
what y’all up to? we just had lunch and i’ve come down with a case of ethnic fatigue (itis)
This is ridiculous…just thinly veiled racisim and pure ingnorance. If you dislike the man because of his policies then say so! Presidents have been called out on their policies throughout history yet NO OTHER sitting (or otherwise) President has had to continually answer questions about where he was born and what his TRUE religion may be! It should have never come to this but now that he has PROVEN where the hell he was born…maybe we can move on. Somehow I doubt it though. Next, there will be someone out there asking to carbon date the damned birth certificate!

You know most of us don’t even post anymore on Obama here on SR. But this is just absoltuely ridiculous. If Americans think Rascism is dead you are completely crazy. At what point has another American President (even though we all know that even white folks are not descended directly from North Americans are are mixed and mixed and mixed)has ever had to produce his birth certificate.
Trump can go suck a fat one. I want to see everyone’s birth certificate and educational records revealed from now on.
Candi I’m strugglin hard to stay up

Yeah Trump can really go just suck a fat one.
sorry racist rant. I hate ingnorance.
He might not be able to call a dog a dog now but when he is out of office, I really hope that Obama will be able to address the racism that plagued his presidency freely and honestly!!

Good Gawd ya mean my mom isn’t the only one that does that
You mean it was finally released to the public. You better believe his citizenship was already verified by the Rep (who were in control then) before he even became a Senator yet along the President. You never heard them asking to see it, because it was already confirmed that he was eligible for Presidency.

If I was at in interview and allowed to ask questions, here are a few that I’d ask donald:
1.How come your columns of your brand new building in Chicago are deteriorated? (oops, all your residents don’t know this)
#feelfreetodriveandlook:)
2.Why’d they have to remove the column covers? #attnbuildingcodesinvestigators
3.Why you sooo cheap that you didn’t purchase the proper steel to go at the bottom of your tower?
4.Why did you not have the proper metals that are needed when near a body of water?
#cheap
#shady
5. And last but not least, what’s up with the hair?
