Obama Denounces ‘Sideshow and Carnival Barkers’

By Jonathan Weisman

President Barack Obama took to the White House press podium moments ago to denounce “sideshow and carnival barkers“ who claim he wasn’t born in the U.S.

Earlier this morning, the White House released his long-form birth certificate showing he was born in the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.

“I have watched with bemusement. I have been puzzled at the degree to which thing just kept on going,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday morning, showing frustration at the amount of attention the long-settled issue of his birth place continues to attract. He said the nation would not solve the serious issue is faces if if continues to be “distracted by side show and carnival barkers.”

“We do not have time for this silliness. We have better stuff to do,” he said in a brief meeting with reporters at the White House.

2. It's a smart move, I think. Obama can sit back and watch the continued
slimy racist/ignorant people who will say they are not convinced. For some voters it may finally end the alleged mystery.


Trump, the opportunist, has already claimed victory for why Obama released it, but the beauty of that is Trump has
stated we have to be sure it is authentic etc. This will only solidify for most Americans the birthers are really
about something else all together.

It still ticks me off how Trump gets a pass on his racist tactics through the MSM; he is a deplorable boob and should
be called out each time he opens his mouth.

8. Well obviously it's a forgery--Trump said "his men" couldn't find evidence that Obama exists at all.
:sarcasm: in case it wasn't clear.
