Turns out Donald Trump can’t use his infamous “You’re fired” tagline on President Obama.
“Obama’s long form birth certificate released so that America can move on to real issues that matter to our future,” tweeted @whitehouse on Tuesday morning with a link.
But the twitterverse wasn’t ready to move on, even after the “Apprentice” host and potential Republican presidential candidate got the document that he had been asking for proof of Obama’s citizenship. “This is the worst episode of Celebrity Apprentice ever,” one twitterer complained. Another lamented, “If only baby Obama had had an iPhone 4; with its location tracking, we could easily put all this birther debate to rest.” Tweeted N.Y. Congressman @RepWeiner, “Trump now demands proof Hawaii is part of USA.”
Politics can be a hairy issue, and today’s news was no exception. “At this point I think it’s only fair that Trump give us some proof that his hair is real,” proposed ESPN host Trey Wingo. Tweeted others, “Now that the ‘Birthers’ have been silenced, the ‘Combers’ are out to get the truth about Donald Trump’s hair,” and, “I need to see the birth certificate for that hair of yours ‘cause you can’t tell me that thing was born in this country!’”
Obama got his share of teasing, too. One Republican blogger pointed out, “President Obama this morning: We’ve got better stuff to do.’ Then he boarded a plane for Chicago and Oprah taping. No joke.’” “So stoked,” tweeted someone else. “Just got the new Obama Birth Certificate 7’’ White House GOP tour edition.” Added another, “Turns out he actually was born. Who’da thunk it.”
One commenter on msnbc.com’s Tumblr blog summarized the release of Obama’s birth certificate with a Seinfeld reference: “It’s real and it’s spectacular.”

I will not watch another prentice show, I will not support any sponsors who endorse donald trump.
I will not attend any casinos and encourage everyone I know who frequent his casinos or hotels to use other facilities. As a retired person I have plenty of time to devote to this cause.
too bad.......I rather enjoyed the shallow entertainment of celebrity apprentice but I just can no longer give Trump
The time of day.....with his political silliness, he's begun to remind me of my crazy uncle Leroy......so long Meatloaf and NeeNee.
Really a informative post, the post is good in all regards,I am glad to read this post.

The President could have been born in Kenya, or any other place outside of the U.S.A. and he would still be an American citizen. His mother was American. He(the President) could hold citizenship papers from every other country in the world and it will not affect his American citizenship. The President's scholastic record speaks for it's self.
Senator McCain was born in Panama
Obama had the opportunity over three years ago to come up with his birth certificate and he didn't. Who's to say that this copy is genuine? I've seen one from Mombassa, Kenya, that looks even more real than Obama'a Hawaiian one.
Why has Obama spent over $900,000 of campaign money to keep this situation on his birth quiet? Did it take this long to forge his birth certificate? And, as we all know, when born, you have no idea where you're actually born, your parents have to tell you where and prove it through the birth certificate.
I'm still not sure this man is really an American citizen; and, if he is, then he defrauded our government into giving him scholarship money for his education by claiming he was a foreign born student. If he was a citizen, then he should be required to pay back every last cent that he received for his fraudulent education. If any of us were to defraud our government of the amount of money Obama did, we'd be in prison on felony charges or the government would take our homes or garnish our wages until the debt was paid.
What a country we're living in; if you have a title, then you can get away with virtual murder with no consequences.
And, how can Obama go from an average student at Occidental College to Harvard? Anyone heard of "Affirmative Action" and meeting quotas for a more diversified student body? How do y0ou think Michelle Obama got a scholarship to Princeton? Anyone ever read her thesis? I have and it isn't well written for a supposed Ivy League educated woman.
BillNJ- So you still think everyone who grew up with him, all the doctors, The Hawaiian newspaper who posted his date and time of birth, his family and friends and the president himself have all got together and lied about his US citizenship. Really..Really..you still have doubts? You ask what country we'er living in? I ask how stupid can someone be. Absolutely out off your mind stupid. Period.
totally agree!
