Hopefully, this will put an end to the chorus of skepticism over whether the 44th president is truly an American.

The White House released President Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate today, hoping to draw an end to three years of ill-informed speculation over whether he was truly born in the U.S.A. The so-called “birther” movement, apparently unsatisfied with his standard short-form certificate released during the 2008 campaign, as well as a birth announcement from a Hawaiian newspaper announcing little Barry's birth in 1961, has been stoked to a frenzy once again in recent weeks, prodded by Donald Trump's pronouncements on the subject. Obama, in a news conference, said that the country doesn't “have time for such silliness” as determining the president's (already confirmed, at least twice) birthplace.
