Does anyone think this is related to 2012 apocalypse? (As in there isn't going to be a next presidential election, so they are f***ed if they don't kick him out now?) [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 17:23, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Who started the rumor

According to snopes.com's investigation, the Obama citizenship denial started on right-wing blogs before it showed up in Clinton supporters' emails. Source: http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-started-birther-movement/

Politico mentions an Andy Martin, frequent loser perennial candidate, as the "founder" of the conspiracy theory. The New York Times and Washington Post have stated this as well. Brainiac3397 (talk) 21:59, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Update on this Article

So will this article be updated at all with the recent Sheriff Joe Arpaio findings? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/12/15/sheriff-joe-arpaio-probe-proves-obama-birth-certificate-fake/95500958/ ^{— Unsigned, by: 206.45.198.211 / talk / contribs}

Question

Why didn't the birthers try and push through some legislation to clarify the birth status of 'the President' in general?

And what would happen in the theoretical situation of 'adopted child X becomes President who then finds they were not born in the US'? Anna Livia (talk) 21:19, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Obama states "the first sitting American president to come from Kenya"

how can this statement be denied when it came from Obama himself, I don't get it, this is crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m26vHUl2HeQ ^{— Unsigned, by: Dewbiegood‎ / talk / contribs}

Come from ≠ born in. 86.130.218.163 (talk) 01:17, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

How come

… 'but nobody' mentions Trump's non-American born wives? Hypocrisy at the very least. Anna Livia (talk) 11:06, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Obama's dad

Did the misconception come from the fact that Obama's father, who shares the same name, is born in Kenya? 🇷🇸 Serbiter (Wort wort wort) 16:36, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
