Obama tells Oprah remembers being born in Hawaii

In an interview with Oprah for a show airing Monday, May 2, President Obama joked Wednesday he remembered being born in Hawaii. Earlier at the White House, the president released his official birth certificate for the first time.

"President Obama released a long form birth certificate. He lectured Americans & said "We've got better stuff to do. I've got better stuff to do. We've got big problems to solve, and I'm confident we can solve them, but we're going to have to focus on them, not on this". He then promptly boarded Air Force One to solve one of those vital problems -- by flying to Chicago for another appearance on Oprah's show."

my birth certificate says i was born in michigan but i dont remember being born

Being born in Hawaii doesn't count as being "born here" or "born in America"

@fenway2k .. GREAT POSTED! Nice to see someone like you here. I'm very tired of seeing people that are so hateful, it doesn't matter what President Obama does, they would twisted to make him looks bad. We admired this President, especially to see all the haters comment that make us respect him more!

Yesterday, I watched Oprah show, it was about " FREEDOM RIDER "! That show just brought me to tears, I was a baby, we're white family, amazing that how far we came but racists will never end.

I can't believe the haters that just keep on saying mean things toward President Obama. Each of us can look in the mirror and see our trueself in there, if we have kind heart, if we're racist or if we're just full of hate in our hearts or not? I think we all own ourselves some lesson to learn about how we should treated other with kindness and be respectful to one another.

God Bless everyone, the kind hearts and the one that are full of hates.

We're so proud of President Obama. So tired of the haters and people that can't accept him as their President all because he is a black man. He is not just a great President, he is a very smart man and so is his wife. Trump was trying to change the story, now he wants to know about how did Obama got into the Harward University, my goodness, Mr.Trump because the President earned his grade and because he is a very smart man. I can't believe how anyone can look up to Donald Trump, very sad.

@bitchiwill .... There're millions of us that admired President Obama of his courage, we're very proud of him, our military, THE NAVY SEALS and the CIA, job well done and justice been served! Very sad that the people don't don't like him or the right wing they will never see good thing in him. Obma won the presidency by the PEOPLE! He is doing his job that the people sent him there and he is trying very hard. God Bless him, his family, our military and America.

Why does he have to report this to Queen Oprah? Stand on your own two feet, Mr. President, and be a man.

[FieldMarshalB]

@Balian49 I know, you'd think he would just be held to the standard of other presidents and do it two years ago, rather than waste 2 million in tax dollars to prevent it from being released.

[upabittoolate]

No 1 remembers being born. But this is a non-issue. It's time to let it go.

@999Thip .... just to let you know, we're a an Air Force family, we served our country proudly! I also use part of my time as a volunteer worker for the military hospital and so proud to be an American! We have full respect for President Obama, he truly cares for the U.S. soliders and their families.

The celebrity in chief yakking it up on Oprah.

Does this man take anything seriously?

[pacostacos]

@benkenser IKR people like "IT" need to sit down & chill

[LynnkellyH]

For God's sake, Oprah? Americans, can we get serious for once?

[MMAfighter]

@kimmyq83 Yes he did inherit alot of the problems.But a lot of the debt we are facing is because of Obama and the stimulus he passed 2 years ago that bailed out Wall Street and not Main street. Unemployment has remained over 8% since he took office, and high gas prices aren't helping.

[ForbiddenMarketingSecrets]

lol, anybody with photoshop or illustrator can see that the doc released was obviously not a scan but, rather, a multilayer concoction. It's almost as if they wanted to get caught releasing a fake.
