Obama Exclusive: I Was Born in Hawaii and I Don’t 'Have Horns'
April 14, 2011 6:31 PM


I thought the president would take a pass when I asked him about Donald Trump’s rise to the top of the Republican field in my exclusive interview today.

................

He grabbed at the chance with a big smile – saying he thinks the whole issue will be a problem for Republicans.

“I think that over the last two and a half years there's been an effort to go at me in a way that is politically expedient in the short-term for Republicans. But creates, I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He-- he doesn't have horns…we're not really worrying about conspiracy theories or-- or birth certificates,” President Obama told me.

And in all my talks with Obama I think it was the first time he was one the same page as Karl Rove who thinks the “birther” controversy is hurting the GOP.

1. But have you noticed the tail?

It definitely has a devilish look!

[Kerrytravelers]

3. And that pitchfork he carries is a dead give away!

:rofl: I think these teabagger folks really picture him like Jon Lovitz' SNL devil character.

9. Actually, I think he was alluding to the tail. The kind of tail that bigots used to say that Black

people have.

This was as close as he could get without coming right out and calling them bigots.

13. I agree, but he's using 'horns' because that is a classic from the

hater lexicon. Jews have been accused of having horns for centuries, and were at times depicted with horns in Christian art. He did come out and call them bigots, if you ask me. He just used a reference that not every redneck would understand.

14. I missed that also. Good observation.

2. I figured as much.

Look at him, he is doing this to expose the crazies. Three dimensional chess indeed.

4. FauxNews spin: "Obama says, 'I'm not horny.'"

More on this breaking news ahead.

5. "I did not have horns with that demon, Mr. Satan (R)" - The Obamster

Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that kinky extramarital diaper sex with luggage handling faux lesbian rentboys in public bathroom stalls remains exclusively the province of Republicon Family Values claimants.

6. OK, but if you play the tape backward

what does it say?

7. he's lying again

I heard he has an invisibility cloak (actually 2 invisibility socks) that he wears to hide the horns. And even worse, the magic socks were made by Muslims in Kenya. He doesn't support the US invisibility cloak manufacturing union members so he has to go.

8. I can't believe that the MSM still keeps this stupid thing going and indulges

every kook who spouts this stuff. I can't believe the President even has to address this - but at least he did it in an amusing way.

[valerief]

10. Then you can't believe America is hurtling to the Middle Ages either. nt

[myrna minx]

12. ?

[AlbertCat]

11. Donald Trump is creating jobs! Send investigators to Hawaii!

Oh... and "you wouldn't believe what they are finding!"

I'll bet I wouldn't!

[Tx4obama]

16. Remember the other day when republicans said that photo of Obama's head had scars?

Next they will be saying that the scars are from where 'the horns' were removed ;)

[AsahinaKimi]

17. Ya know, some people do look better with horns..for example..

Ron Perlman!
