Obama Pre-empts Trump: 'I Was Pretty Confident About Where I Was Born'
Source: Talking Points Memo
President Obama on Friday briefly addressed Donald Trump's recent refusal to say that Obama was born in the United States, saying he wishes the presidential election would reflect "more serious issues."
"I was pretty confident about where I was born," the president observed.
When asked for his reaction to Trump's latest comments about his birth, Obama told ABC's Jonathan Karl that he had "no reaction" before briefly weighing in. "I'm shocked that a question like that would come up at a time when we've got so many other things to do," he said. "I'm not that shocked, actually. It's fairly typical."
"We got other business to attend to," he continued. "I was pretty confident about where I was born. I think most people were as well. And my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that. All right?"

the Dept. of Health all the correct births and deaths for the hospital on the day of his
"birth" along with his false birth announcement too so the Dept. of Health would then
report this data to local newspapers.
