I guess Obama milked this non-story long enough, so here it is.The White House released President Obama's original birth certificate Wednesday.We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday, Trump repeated his doubts and said he had been told the certificate was "missing."
A new CNN investigation revealed earlier this week what most analysts have been saying since the "birther" controversy erupted during the 2008 presidential campaign: Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.
So, about those college transcripts...
Update: The White House manages to incorporate the release of this, which could have simply been done years ago, into a campaign pitch.
At a time of great consequence for this country – when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East, Washington, DC, was once again distracted by a fake issue. The President’s hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country.

And he let a career military man go to jail and lose his pension and still didn't release it. He is a selfish, conniving prick. And who's to say it isn't a forgery? Who validated it?
Come on, folks! The BC shows the father as Barack Hussein Obama, born in Kenya, and so a British subject. If BHO senior never took American citizenship, then Obambi is NOT a natural born citizen, and therefore not eligible to be POTUS.
