President Obama has posted a copy of his birth certificate "long-form" in the State of Hawaii, hoping to finally put an end to a theory of historical conspiracy among some conservatives who stated that he was not born in the United States and that it was not a President legitimate.
The birth certificate, which is available on the website of the White House, shows that Mr. Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii) and it is signed by the representatives of the State and his mother.
"President believed that distraction over his birth certificate is not good for the country", the White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer wrote on the Web site Wednesday morning. On the site, Mr. Pfeiffer said that Mr. Obama had authorized officials in Hawaii to release the document widely.
In a statement to the press on Wednesday morning, Mr. Obama said that he decided to publish the document to put an end to the "déconne" on his birth that threatened to divert the serious problems facing the country.
"During the last years of two and a half years, I watched with bewilderment," he said in brief remarks. "I was intrigued by the degree to which this thing just kept continuous.".
Mr. Obama said there would be a "segment of the people for whom, any that we have, this issue will not have to rest." But he said that he was "speaking to the vast majority of the American people and to the press." We have time for this kind of déconne. ?
President said he decided to release "long-form" birth certificate two weeks ago, after reporting on the controversy dominate a week in which the Republicans come out their budget for 2012 and Mr. Obama delivered a speech on the debt of the country.
"This will generate discussions huge and serious, important debates," Mr. Obama said these issues. "This is how democracy is supposed to work."
But he added that "we will not be able to do so, if we are distracted." We will not be able to do so if spend us time to disparage each other. We will not be able to do so if we just make up stuff and argue that the facts are not facts. ?
It also requested, without using names, Republicans such as Donald Trump, who have repeatedly raised the issue of the certificate of birth, saying that the political process must ignore the "Carnival and the Carnival Barkers."
The contention that Mr. Obama was not born to the United States and therefore did not meet the constitutional requirement for election to the Presidency, since years and has long been rebutted. But it has recently gained the attention of the public after Mr. Trump, real estate magnate, raised questions that it explores or not to run for President.
In a Wednesday morning press conference, Mr. Trump claimed to force the hand of Mr. Obama, saying that "I believe that I have accomplished something of really, really important." But he said the document published Wednesday should be examined for authenticity.
"I hope that this is the case," he said. "We have to look at." Many people have to look at. I hope that this is true, and the reason for which I hope its true is because we have real problems in this country. ?
Appearance by Mr. Obama television - even if Mr. Trump was set out in New Hampshire - offers a contrast to the White House, which is eager to portray the President as that which focused on the serious problems facing the country.
As he began his comments, the Chairman joked on the willingness of the networks to break into their normal programming to carry the press conference of Mr. Trump. But Mr. Obama was eager to make clear that Republicans that persist in the review of his birth certificate does not face more serious problems of the nation.
White House officials had years wanted ignore questions on the birth of Mr. Obama, pointing to a shorter form regularly presented by the representatives of the Hawaiian as sufficient to put an end to these questions.
In July 2009, Robert Gibbs, the White House at the time press officer, rejected the "made-up nonsense fictional whether if the President was born in this country."
But the so-called birther controversy continued as evidenced by polls which offers a large number of people stated that they were not convinced that Mr. Obama is in fact born in the country.
Many skeptics suggested that Mr. Obama could not produce the "long-form" birth certificate because they assumed that there was not. The decision of the White House to produce the document is an effort to refute these accusations.
