Unlike Romney, I don't believe Obama was born in the U.S.

I know it. For a fact.

And so does anyone else who isn't brain dead.

I wish Blitzer had pointed out to Trump that parents don't place those birth notices in newspapers -- those notices are from the lists hospitals send to the bureau of Vital Statistics. But I guess it doesn't matter. Trump just isn't going to let this go.

1. Even if Obama wasn't born in America, his mother was an American

ergo, her offspring by definition are American by birth.
But to believe that 50 years ago a few clandestine people performed some conspiracy because they were positioning their son (a black kid) to be president some day is even too ludicrous for sci-fi writers.
But not for Donald Trump or Mitt Romney.

2. They have an answer for that, not that it matters, since he WAS born in Hawaii.

She was only 19, and the parent-citizen is supposed to have been in residence for some number of years after some age -- I don't remember the details, but she didn't quite make it.

Wolf needed to press TRUMP about the names...Trump kept saying "I know a lot of people"...wolf asked for names...Trump replied "You don't need names"...
he should have pressed him...he was ready to crack...just when he had to make that Tough decision on firing Lil John instead of Meatloaf...

5. I'm a "future birther." I believe Obama's a time traveler come from the future to take control. . .

it's the only thing that can explain how "conveniently" everything he needs materializes when he needs it.

People question his birth, suddenly an announcement appears in a newspaper 50 years ago.

His opponent in 2008 looks "plausible," suddenly a cuckoo born 47 years ago is picked to be his running mate.

Romney becomes "presumptive" in 2012, suddenly teens from 50 years ago are beset with strange memories of Willard being a total jerk to those weaker and less connected than he.

I tell you, there's no other explanation. I'm a "future birther." Obama must time travel to be as nefarious as his opponents claim.

7. For a minute I kinda misread you there, TBH.

But I agree with you, though.

There is no proof at all, indeed to suggest that he WASN'T born in Hawa'ii. =)
