Rick Perry Isn’t Sure If Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Real
Rick Perry Isn’t Sure If Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Real



Today's edition of Parade magazine features an interview with Republican presidential candidate/sultan of Texas Rick Perry, who says he went out to dinner with bloviating birther Donald Trump and now isn't totally sure if President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii or Kenya or on Mercury or what. Donald Trump is that persuasive.

The relevant excerpt from the interview, plz:

Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States?
I have no reason to think otherwise.

That's not a definitive, "Yes, I believe he"-
Well, I don't have a definitive answer, because he's never seen my birth certificate.

But you've seen his.
I don't know. Have I?

You don't believe what's been released?
I don't know. I had dinner with Donald Trump the other night.

And?
That came up.

And he said?
He doesn't think it's real.

And you said?
I don't have any idea. It doesn't matter. He's the President of the United States. He's elected. It's a distractive issue.

<SNIP>

17. I think you are on to something
He looks like Hymie the Robot from 'Get Smart', but like his programming came out of 'Green Acres'.

12. But that bigass Knicker-head sign in front of his CAMP is real, now, ain't it?
That dumb fuck needs to git gone, just as soon as the comedians wring all the comedic amusement out of him...and we're reaching that point, I think.

15. Also, how can one be that dumb yet still be able to manage feeding themself?
Manipulating food implements must be a chore for someone who appears to be even less intelligent than George Bush.

20. I would think The Donald and Birtherism is the LAST place Rick would want to be spending time now.
After running his candidacy straight into the ditch by going full redneck instead of being the "business friendly multiple term governor of a gigantic GOP stronghold state" and practically letting Romney claim the nomination by simply not wetting his pants in public, he's going to talk about Obama's birth certificate?

There really is no curing stupid.

21. Does anybody else think the RNC must be in a PANIC with Perry being so dumb?
IMO they were counting on Perry & Cain splitting the Freeper vote to get Romney in. But Perry is SO STUPID that he's dropping like a rock every time he opens his mouth - they must be sweating bullets they will end up with Mr. 999!! :rofl:

23. The United States Presidency is a Head of State position of a major Nuclear Weapons country.
After all the vetting that had to be done before Obama was sworn in, something solid, or even reliably questionable, would have showed up long before now, if Obama had been born anywhere other than in a Honolulu Hospital, as the two local papers had in their birth announcements at the time.
