Dave Ross Commentary – Listen: Finally! The White House releases the birth certificate

The White House today finally released Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate, and we have Donald Trump to thank:

“Today I am very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish,” said Trump.

But now that we know he was born here, we need to know is he smart enough to be President to Now Trump wants the college transcripts:

“Because the word is he wasn’t a good student and he ended up getting into Columbia and Harvard,” said Trump.

Show us your grades Mr. President:

“CNN did a poll where Obama and I are statistically tied. If you’d like I could send it to you, just call up CNN.”

I was gonna call up CNN, but they saved me the trouble:

“Something else that I just want to correct, CNN has never done a poll showing anything like that,” said a CNN anchor.

In … other news today, the SETI project, which has been searching for signs of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, announced that it would be shutting down. And I credit Trump for that too, because today he pretty much answered the question about whether there are civilizations more advanced than ours:

“Are you an intelligent man? Are you intelligent? Have you been listening,” said Trump.

So there it is, breaking news, Barack Obama was born in the US, a story which as far as I can tell actually broke on August 4 1961, but hey … the birthers finally get it. And that’s good! I mean it’s not world peace, but it’s good — it’s like — it’s like the day the dog finally learns to pee outside.

“Today I’m very proud of myself,” says Trump.

Good job.
