Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate Released

Finland calling to confirm this.

Pretty sure everyone else is laughing, too.

Well you know. we gotta have those college records to make sure his kenyan muslim nazi communist father didnt bribe Obama's teachers into giving him a degree.

• cough*

I don't see why Obama would have any rational reason to provide anything else, as they've made it obvious that if he does provide the transcripts, they will just ask for something more ridiculous afterwards.

I think thats what he planned on doing, actually. Trump demanding his college records now looks for all intents and purposes like a complete idiot. As does anyone who agrees with him.

^ That's about 25 people total who support him or think he's something else than an act. Most of whom are news pundits who believe he's an actual serious candidate.

^ ...and? How many people who were considered a serious candidate 2 years before the election ever win the nomination?

Hell. 2 years before the last election I'm pretty sure both Mccain and Obama werent even near the top of the list at this point.

^ Obama was the first official candidate. The first serious contender on the Democrat side. (At the time not many thought he would win, but they considered him a serious candidate.) Others like Hillary quickly followed suit.

Trump however is different. Outside the media, he lacks the seriousness Obama had then.

Still trending well in the UK on twitter is #donaldtrumpisabellend through no small effort of Charlie Brooker (media commentator/funny guy) so yes we are laughing as well.

Surely there have been some presidents who did not attend university?

I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I SEE OBAMA'S UMBILICAL CORD!

Yes, we've had some presidents who never went to college. Heck, I think we had a President who never even went to a formal school of any kind, though I can't remember which one that was right now. You'd be surprised at what are some of the requirements (or lack there of) to be President, and a college degree is unnecessary.

^ I want to say it was Andrew Jackson but don't quote me on that.

Grover Cleveland was the last one of the current list not to graduate from a college. Lincoln was the one who received less than a month of formal schooling. Andrew Jackson did receive a formal education but not a college degree.

Enjoy.

And yes, arguably the best Republican president ever received almost no formal education. Irony tastes like metal.

This all lends more plausibility to the idea that Obama is purposely trying to keep Trump in the news.

I guess you could say Obama is playing his Trump Card ?

*Groan*

That was simply beautiful.

What was?

The Incredibly Lame Pun.

And yes, kudos.

Didn't one of the articles linked in this thread already make it?

You should know by now that if someone is posting in a topic with a link to an article that 80% won't read it and later ask for details from the others.

Relevant joke.

It's the Onion. Run it through tinyurl before linking to it.

I'm certainly considering it a possibility that Obama's deliberately teasing the birther crowd to keep Republicans and the media distracted. There are plenty of substantive, serious issues to attack Obama on; the more the opposition and the media ignore those to focus on irrelevant nuttery, the better it is for him.

It's rather telling that the Tea Party would rather spend time on the birther issue than on any legitimate criticism. The fact that the Republicans can get so distracted by this issue is what worries me the most.
