President Obama Tells Oprah Why He Released His Birth Certificate NOW

President Obama
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey set to air Monday, May 2nd, the daytime host asked President Obama why he released his birth certificate now. The president explained that in these serious times, "we can't be distracted by sideshows".

The President told the TV host that while he was dealing with the budget debate, "the biggest news was this birth certificate thing."

And so he was prompted to release the long form of his birth certificate, to put the "silliness" to rest. President Obama released a "certificate of live birth" during his 2008 race for presidency. But the so-called "birther" movement developed when critics of the now-president questioned his citizenship.
