Donald Trump presents his birth certificate within an hour, so why can’t President Obama?

Donald Trump says he was able to get his hands on his birth certificate within an hour, so why can’t President Obama?

“Somebody asked me today, ‘Can I see your birth certificate?’ I had it in my hands in less than an hour,” Trump told Fox’s Greta Van Susteren tonight on On The Record.

During a phone interview, Van Susteren asked Trump why he doesn’t believe President Obama was born in the United States.

“I want to see his birth certificate,” Trump said, “He doesn’t have it. He spent millions of dollars on lawyers trying to get out of the issue. They give what’s called a certificate of live birth which doesn’t even have a signature on it, and anybody can get a certificate of live birth. It’s nothing to do with a birth certificate.”

Trump also says he is surprised no one has come forward to say they witnessed President Obama’s birth.

“Here is the President of the United States and no doctor, no nurse, nobody’s come forward and said ‘I delivered that beautiful baby.’”

Trump reiterated his accusation that Hawaii’s Democratic Governor Neil Abercrombie is lying when he says he remembers when Obama was born.

“I’ll bet he didn’t even know the parents 50 years ago,” Trump said, “What he’s doing is taking a bullet for the party.”

Trump’s demand to see President Obama’s birth certificate has been garnering a lot of attention. But he doesn’t want to be called a “birther”. He says he just wants to know the truth, one way or the other.

“Our current President came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. In fact, I’ll go a step further. The people that went to school with him never saw him; they don’t know who he is.”

“To be honest with you, I want him to have a birth certificate because that would mean that his presidency was, I guess you’d have to say, illegal. You have to be born in the United States. I hope he was born in the United States. But I want to get rid of the word ‘hope’. I want to know for sure.”

Donald Trump’s Speech at CPAC (TRANSCRIPT)

“Let me begin by thanking CPEC for the opportunity to address so many of you today. It’s a wonderful forum, and an honor to be here. While I’m not at this time a candidate for the Presidency, I will decide by June, whether or not I will become one. And, I will tell you the reason that I am thinking about it is that the The United States has become a whipping post for the rest of the world. The world is treating us without respect. They are not treating us properly America today is missing quality leadership and foreign countries have quickly realized this. It’s for this reason that the United States is becoming the laughing stock of the world. Now, whether or not we like it, or don’t like it that’s what’s happening. I deal with people from China. I deal with people from Mexico. They can not believe what they’re getting away with.

I’ve said on numerous occasions that countries like China, like India, South Korea, Mexico, and the OPEC nations view our country as weak and ineffective, and have repeatedly taken advantage of them to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. When they talking about raising your taxes…they talk about…I think raise the taxes on some of these countries that are taking advantage of the United States.

Over the years I’ve participated in many battles and have really almost come out very very victorious every single time. I’ve beaten many people and companies, and I’ve won many wars. I have fairly, but intelligently won many billions of dollars…which in a sense…was both a scorecard and acknowledgement of my abilities. During my lifetime…I’ve always…little different right? A little different than what you’ve been hearing?

During my lifetime, I’ve always been told that a person of great accomplishment and achievement can not become a politician or run for political office, because there are too many enemies, both very smart, and not so smart…strewn along this highway to success. People who have been in wars…and this is war. Life is pleasant, but it can be war. People who have been in wars, even the most successful of them, leave themselves open to great criticism from the many that they have beaten and those that have watched the battles.

The fact is, this theory of a very successful person running for office is rarely tested because most successful people don’t wanna be scrutinized or abused. And that’s what happens. If you see it, that’s what happens. And this is why we don’t have the kind of people that we should have running for office. Unfortunately however this is the kind of person that the country needs and they need it now. We don’t have time to wait 25 years and get the right…this country is in serious trouble, we need it now.

Our current President came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. In fact, I’ll go a step further. The people that went to school with him never saw him; they don’t know who he is. Crazy. With no track record, and I will tell you, he’s got nothing to criticize. You have no record, you can’t be criticized. Wonderful guy, he’s a nice man, but there was no record, nothing to criticize. He didn’t go in wars. He didn’t go in battles. He didn’t beat this one, that one, have enemies all over the place. Nobody knew who the hell he was. He’s not our President? He’s our President! Ha, but he is…our President.
