Donald Trump was on The View yesterday answering questions about a possible run for the presidency. When he mentioned that he thought Obama should show his birth certificate it was hard to hear anything with the shrieking of 4 liberal women at the same time, but Whoopi yelled that no white president has ever had to show a birth certificate. Really, that's all she has? She didn't even defend the "Certificate of Live Birth" we've all seen on the internet, maybe because she knows Obama couldn't even get a driver's license with it. Barbara Walters brought up the newspaper birth announcement. Try enrolling in school or getting a passport with that.
As far as Whoopi's claim goes, there has always been documentation and a verifiable history. Congress held a hearing when John McCain ran because he was born in Panama. When it was proven that he was born to 2 American citizens in military service he was cleared as being eligible.
Obama has spent well over a million dollars in legal fees protecting his birth certificate, school and college records, college papers, and even Harvard Law Review articles. No other president in history has been able to keep this much of his past private.
When people were trying to prove Bush was a draft dodger they were even demanding payroll records from the National Guard. If he had worked so hard at keeping school and work records private there would have been calls for impeachment.
To quote Barack Obama himself; "The only people who don't want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide."
By the way, he may be a "natural born citizen" as the Constitution demands. But I think the American public has a right to know what is worth so much money to keep secret.
