Lewandowski raises question of Obama's birthplace
Source: The Hill
Donald Trump's former campaign manager on Tuesday suggested President Obama concealed his birthplace by not releasing his college transcripts.
* * *
"The question was, did he get in as a U.S. citizen or was he brought into Harvard University as a citizen who wasn't from this country? I don't know the answer," he said.
Lewandowski said earlier that Obama was "fair game" for attacks if he continued to rip Trump.
Political commentator Angela Rye interjected that Trump "has been attacking the president long before he began campaigning."

(4,140 posts)but I thought Trump was running against Hillary Clinton, not Barack Obama. The Republicans should sue Trump for destroying their party.

reminds me of that scene in the hudsucker proxy, where tim robbins repeats the joke "well frankly, i don't think anybody expected this much hoopla". it worked the first time. the second time, after all kinds of bad news,... not so much.

(260 posts)Lewandowdski is still on Trump's payroll.
He was 'fired' so that he could be quickly hired to become a commentator on CNN, thereby giving Trump a mouthpiece within the MSM and not just a 'surrogate'. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if CNN and Trump negotiated the entire ruse before Cory was let go.

I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. Its very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesnt know which hospital he was born in? How come forget about birth certificates. Lets say theres no birth certificate. How come in the hospital itself, okay? This is one of the in the hospital itself, theres no records of his birth. In other words, it doesnt say how much they paid, where is the doctor, heres your room bill. You know, all the
MEREDITH VIEIRA:

DONALD TRUMP:

MEREDITH VIEIRA:

DONALD TRUMP:
Absolutely. And they cannot believe what theyre finding. And Im serious

That interview was in April 2011. It's been over five years and Trump never released anything about what his so called investigators found. If he sent any one, they found nothing news worthy:

When you go to Hawaii to investigate Obama's birth, what you're looking to examine are public records. They're easy to find. Fly into the Honolulu airport, rent a car, and drive downtown to the state library. You can't miss it: it's practically in the shadow of the gold-leaf King Kamehameha statue in front of the Aliiolani Hale, the former palace. Once inside the library, head downstairs where they keep the microfilm. Obama was born (they tell us) on August 4, 1961, but you'll want the August 13, 1961 edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, because that's when the birth announcement appeared. When you've loaded up the film, flip to the back pages, to the section of the paper called "Vital Statistic." This is the record of births, marriages, and deaths provided by the Hawaii Department of Health's Bureau of Vital Statistics. When you get to Page B-6, scan down the lefthand column--there it is, toward the bottom:
" target="_blank">Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4
Congratulations! You've located the birth announcement. Nothing indicates obvious Kenyan-Communist plotting or the nefarious handiwork of Bill Ayers. And the competing paper, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, also published an announcement. But you'll want to be diligent and investigate that address. So you'll head back upstairs and hunt down a copy of the Honolulu City Directory. Actually, because these documents are snapshots in time, you'll want the city directories from 1960 through 1962, to see if you can establish any pattern of movement.
After you've lugged them to a table, you'll find the address: it turns out to belong to the Dunhams, who are the parents of Ann Dunham, Obama's mother. If you keep looking, you'll also discover that Barack Obama Sr. is listed at a separate address, 625 11th Ave. in Kaimuki, close to the University of Hawaii. So you can surmise that Obama's parents may not have lived together. You can also find a newspaper article in which Barack Obama Sr. talks about how he is going to Harvard. A short while later, Obama's mother, Ann, returns to using her maiden name, Dunham, and several years after that, the parents divorce. And that's all you're going to find.
