Sarah Palin may have her own 2012 agenda, but the potential presidential candidate for the GOP is agreeing with Donald Trump on at least one thing: the birther campaign. Trump has been pretty adamant about finding out where Barack Obama was born, believing that he could have been born in Kenya, not Hawaii. If this is the case, Obama could be impeached on grounds that he isn't a U.S. Citizen.
While there 
are plenty of loopholes here, for instance, Obama's mother was a U.S. citizen, automatically making him one, Trump marches forward with his questions. Alaska's very own Sarah Palin is in full support of these claims.
"I appreciate that 'The Donald' wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans – you know, more power to him. He's not just throwing stones from the sidelines, he's digging in there, he's paying for researchers to find out why President Obama would have spent $2 million to not show his birth certificate," Palin said during her interview with FOX News on Saturday.
Some people agree with Trump's birther campaign, and others think he's being racist. It's something very interesting to be looked into because Obama has been secretive when it comes to this issue. No one can blame Trump for wanting to get to the bottom of this controversy. However, is spending too much effort on this going to dampen Trump's chances at running for president (if and when he so decides)? Is Sarah Palin speaking out on the matter getting her more publicity going into her potential candidacy announcement? Is Obama hiding something? Sound off.

Why doesn't he produce it? Who cares? It's irrelevant... unless you're so discombobulated by having a black president you'll grasp at ANY straw in your desperate hope that he's not REALLY your president.
Then, of course, there's the "Sarah Palin is about as sharp as a bag of wet mice." part of the equation.
The black guy has posted his birth certificate on several sites and this still goes on, while the white presidents havent.
(and that sounds racist)
Plus and I made this comment on another thread, if Obama is ineligible one of the other contenders including Hillary would have outed him.
so either he is so smart he can fool all of them, they are so stupid as to not be able to find proof positive or this is a non issue that has been beat to a dead horse.

here is an interesting story about it.
Who is "they"?
Please provide proof with something other than a blog on this.
Just because YOU cant see it doesnt mean it isnt there.
Again Certificate of Live Birth is a birth certificate. Seriously are you that dillusional?
Get your own "birth certificate" and I would bet it says Certificate of Live Birth.
My husbands from PA says it, mine from Iowa says it and so does my daughters from Florida.
Yep that is exactly what I expected you to say.
Sarah lookin' fine.
In pencil skirt or flannel shirt,
She our Valentine.
You had me rolling with this one, lol. And, yes, smearing people is not allowed.
She can't 'go there' on the birther story, because she needs to bulk up on 'gravitas'. He can do it, tho ... and he's doing it for her.
She just acknowledged that. We've been waiting for her recognition of his contribution, and his tacit acceptance of her primacy, and we knew it wouldn't be a long wait.
Now that Trump has been unofficially but publicly accepted as Palin's 'Apprentice', we should expect him to now come out with a new outrageous line of talk, another thread up Sarah's alley, but something that again shouldn't be associated too intimately with her ... for campaign purposes.
Again, we won't have long to wait. This is a fast-paced game, and Donald will be out on the court showing off his new moves, at the earliest 'seemly' moment.
Really, he'll make an ideal VP, won't he?
Except, Leigh, that Ms. Palin has already accepted an offer of VP.
Indeed, Effie: I see no one else drawing the inferences I'm making. However, I'm excited by what I think I see. We'll see in the coming weeks & months, how good I actually am at this sort of crystal ball gazing. :-)
Certainly, excellent times for those of us with low boredom thresholds!
And I bet McCain is still kicking himself in the ass over that one.
You jest, of course.
McCain's selection & invitation of Palin was plainly instrumental in a politically mind-blowing motivation & mobilization of new Conservative bases, and led directly to a resurgent GOP and up-ending of the Democrat's brand new throne in D.C..
McCain is basking in the accolades to his genius.
Somehow I doubt this considering when McCain was up for re-election Palin supported a TP candidate over him. That probably didnt give Johnny the warm fuzzies.
Did you take that as a slap at Johnny? He didn't.
It salves his not-so broken heart, to watch his political adversary come unraveled ... with a major 'assist' from Her.
We can tell. You're either confused, or hoping to confuse us.
The Left should be riding high in the saddle right now, but instead they're dragging underneath the horse & in danger of getting stomped to a pulp.
Sen. John McCain obviously read the political landscape better than others, and picked Sarah Palin to match 'reality on the ground'. He & She have been wildly, sensationally successful.
Love him, hate him, or just acknowledge him - McCain has shown himself to be one of the sharpest, most influential politicians of our time.
The payoff for the Right, from picking Palin for his VP, puts him the Legend class.

Off to work. See ya at lunch.
I cant figure out why someone still doesnt realize that you cant get a copy of your long form birthcertificate.
"Won't", I'll buy.
not everyone has a birth certificate or can get one.
I dont know if the POTUS of can..since no other POTUS or presidential hopeful has ever had this nonsense thrown at them. Maybe he could or maybe he couldnt...he has to obey the laws the same as you or I and I could only imagine if he were to use his position to get the long form BC...the birthers would then start screaming about his abuse of his power and getting the long form BC isnt one of his constitutionally granted powers.
There are no fewer than 4 sites that have his birth certificate but its funny I couldnt find McCains listed or Bushs or Clintons or Reagans...
Obama first served in the Il senate starting in 97. He ran against a Republican. Then served in the US house in 2005.
Then ran for POTUS and won.
Do you think in the last 14 years had he been ineligible and not a natural born citizen than one of those republican or ever democratic contenders would have found the "smoking gun" and exposed him?
Now I realize that only the POTUS and VP are subject to some of those rules but remember he ran against a Clinton and a McCain both of which have so many more political and every other kind of connection than Obama probably will ever have.
Now dont you think with all that something would have been found?
Anything?
But it wasnt.
Presidential candidates cant fart without AP covering it.
I even called the courthouse in the county in Iowa that I was born and asked them how to get a copy of my long form birth certificate. after they stopped laughing they told me there isnt one. There is a registration with my birth information in a book of vital records that is kept at the state house that lists the date time doctor hospital and everything from my birth but it isnt a long form birth certificate. It is a vital statistics record and doesnt leave the state office where it is kept.
Lori, our President isn't claiming he was born in Iowa
I believe I pointed that out in my comment.
Your arguments are compelling in a way that can't be challenged.
I've been arguing the same points for months.
Additionally, President Obama has had the ambition to become President, I believe, even before he became the editor of the Harvard Law Review.
Does anyone actually believe that Obama's Presidential ambition wouldn't have been squelched, right then and there, within his own mind, when he actually decided AT THE VERY MOMENT THAT HE WANTED TO BECOME PRESIDENT THAT HE COULDN'T AND HE WOULD, RIGHT THEN AND THERE, REALIZE IT .....BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER, IF HE WERE LITERALLY INELIGIBLE, HE WOULD KNOW THAT SOMEONE WOULD EVENTUALLY FIND OUT.
Are we led to believe that Obama staged a cover-up campaign, eons ago--years before he actually ran for public office?
Pleeeeeaaassseee......such cynicism, if you embrace it, is irrational to the point of psychosis.
Hundreds of journalists, seeking Pulitzers, would be pouncing everywhere, with magnifying glasses, pulling out pieces of lost paper-trail scraps, from the early shredders at the Illinois legislature.
Fer sure.
Yes please elaborate. Links to reliable sources
If you look on the top of your birth certificate it will say Certificate of Live Birth aka a Birth Certificate.
There is no document that states Birth Certificate.
Your vital information is kept at the state where you were born it contains the vital information that you speak of.
When you are issued a "birth certificate" you will receive a Certificate of Live Birth. The long form that everyone keeps talking about is what is kept on file with the vital records department in your state and in many states you CANNNOT get a copy.
The Certification of Live Birth is generally reserved for military children born overseas or adoptions.
The Certificate of Live Birth that Obama has posted has been certified by the vital records department of the state of Hawaiil
Any more questions?
According to the Department of Hawaiian Homelands:
Birth certificates (Certificates of Live Birth and Certifications of Live Birth) and Certificates of Hawaiian Birth are the primary documents used to determine native Hawaiian qualification.
The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands accepts both Certificates of Live Birth (original birth certificate) and Certifications of Live Birth because they are official government records documenting an individuals birth. The Certificate of Live Birth generally has more information which is useful for genealogical purposes as compared to the Certification of Live Birth which is a computer-generated printout that provides specific details of a person's birth. Although original birth certificates (Certificates of Live Birth) are preferred for their greater detail, the State Department of Health (DOH) no longer issues Certificates of Live Birth. When a request is made for a copy of a birth certificate, the DOH issues a Certification of Live Birth.
So, a long-form Certificate has additional information on it that that is useful for genealogical purposes. However, both the certificate and the certification are certified government records providing prima facia proof of the information they contain.
Just in case anyone missed this.
you can find this in about 10 seconds by going to the State of hawaii vital records.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth is a long form birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is the short form birth certificate. The long form contains more information than the short form. The Certification is computer generated utilizing the information from the long form birth certificate. It shows the date the long form was filed. If a Certificate of Live Birth (long form) does not exist, the state of Hawaii will issue a No Record Certification.
