Well, the diplomatic way didn't work. Repeating examples of other people saying the same things about Italy, Ireland, etc. didn't work. The birthers would post one youtube video, and when everyone didn't agree with them that that was the definitive word that Obama was born in Kenya, they'd post another one. So maybe telling birthers they are being deliberately dense will work (although it doesn't seem to have, since there are a ton more responses since the above post).

Concern yourself with what I say when responding to my comments, not what "my side" says or has said.

The "fat cats" gave loans to people who couldn't afford them so the bankers could make more easy money. Importantly, if you read the quote, those women paid back their loans. There is nothing wrong with proper loans to help hard working people start businesses, and work to get ahead, that is a postive purpose that banks fill. We all know that is not what the "fat cats" were doing with sub prime mortgages, mortgage backed securties and bailouts etc...

passport records of the deceased are available thru the FOIA. they are not available for those still alive.

Umm.. none of that makes sense in the context that was our elections for 2008.

At least the Donald generates his own income, Obama steals the income from hard working Americans and hands it over to the whores in wall street!

Well that's not very nice but at least answers questions about the passport.

Obtain Copies of Passport Records

To some extent, yes...but since Trump is willing to say what he thinks (because he's not a politician) he has brought the eligibility issue to millions more people, which I think is a good thing.

Obama has lied many times, broken promises, and continues to make poor decisions and use poor judgement. Such a person cannot be trusted. Throw in an enormous amount of highly questionable things in Obama's past and it's understandable why tens of millions of Americans doubt or question him concerning his birth place...and eligibilty.

Anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature would question someone like Obama. The man obviously has something he does not want revealed. Americans deserve better.

You are the one who posted a link where every site was from December 2009, not the elections. You called Obama's mother a "fat Cat" banker, people rightly disagreed with that description, please get over it and get back on the topic of birthers, or start a new thread.
