Obama Pre-empts Trump: 'I Was Pretty Confident About Where I Was Born'

[Cigar]

President Obama on Friday briefly addressed Donald Trump's recent refusal to say that Obama was born in the United States, saying he wishes the presidential election would reflect "more serious issues."

"I was pretty confident about where I was born," the president observed.

When asked for his reaction to Trump's latest comments about his birth, Obama told ABC's Jonathan Karl that he had "no reaction" before briefly weighing in. "I'm shocked that a question like that would come up at a time when we've got so many other things to do," he said. "I'm not that shocked, actually. It's fairly typical."

"We got other business to attend to," he continued. "I was pretty confident about where I was born. I think most people were as well. And my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that. All right?"

The Kenyan B. Hussein Obama, our low IQ, incompetent president, is only believed by the majority who want to be or have to be PC, or biased libtards. That's OK and understandable.

Some of us would prefer to see his original hospital generated BC, and have it validated by a panel of objective experts.

I'm not a lying lapdog that libtards like you enjoy! I try to be honest, open, and enlightened. Try it some time!

Then you will be the first to confirm that Trump is a consistent liar, won't you?

I'm waiting but won't be holding my breath.

Being a brash New Yorker who often speaks with passion, it's easy to take him out of context and accuse him of lying when he is not. I'm sure he has lied on purpose or inadvertly at times, but he is no way close to being the serial, pathological liar Hillary is.

To be a liberal makes anyone a true consistent liar.

Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/09/16/hillary-clinton-campaign-manager-admits-birtherism-started/)
At this point what difference does it make? Hillary lies habitually and it does not phase her Fans.


Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2008 until the Iowa caucuses, admitted on Friday that a Clinton campaign staffer had, in fact, circulated the Birther conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S. and therefore potentially ineligible to serve in the presidency.
Doyle made the admission on Twitter, as she responded to former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. Fleischer said that Clinton’s staff had spread the rumor. Doyle said that was a “lie” — but admitted, in the same tweet, that she had fired the “rogue” staffer who had used email to spread the Birther conspiracy theory.
