As you can see from the amusingly edited birther video above, birthers are definitely not happy with Michele Bachmann, who was presented with President Obama’s birth certificate by George Stephanopoulos and was forced to admit people should probably just “move on.” Did she just sink her campaign before it even really began?
“Well, then that should settle it,” said Bachmann. She added: “That’s what should settle it. I take the president at his word and I think — again I would have no problem and apparently the president wouldn’t, either. Introduce that, we’re done. Move on, end of story.”
Uh oh! Looks like she doesn’t have a base any more. Obviously she will need to do damage control: claim the mainstream media held a knife to Sarah Palin’s throat if she wouldn’t disavow the birthers and tearfully tell them she still loves them all.
And then she can introduce a bill ordering Obama to bomb Hawaii unless they release another birth certificate. [TPM]

No doubt.
TAKE THE PREZ AT HIS WORD?!??!?!?! HIS WORD?!?!?!?! HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN RIGHT IN YOUR FACE STUPID BITCH!!!! THERE'S NO "WORD" THERE IT'S A LEGAL DOCUMENT!!!!!!!!
But the doctor didn't sign that. It's really Obama's word that he was ever born. Who can trust that?
Whoa, hey, easy there. This isn't clearly marked that it's a Republican-approved document — therefore it remains highly suspicious until it bears the stamp of either the NRC, NRA, Rentboys.com or NAMBLA.
Well that is certainly a narrow view of things, one that would only be held by someone who looked at the issue rationally which is beyond the ability of many people, most Republicans and all teabaggers.
Just more GOTCHA JERNALIZM!!!1!!!!
She was crossing her fingers behind her back.
Um, those weren't fingers…
Not fair! There were shiny things and stuff and she could not focus.

Bachmann also voted for the resolution commemorating Hawai'i's fifty years of statehood, into which was included the statement "as Hawai'i is the birthplace of the 44th president, Barack Obama". She's been moved on for some time.
This is good news for Donald Trump. No, seriously, it is.
How do you figure?
When I suggested "Ambush Bachmann" was thinking of Second Amendment remedies. Not this pussy Gotcha Journalism interview crap.
"Ambush" with votes, right?
She's in my crosshairs. Not literally, of course.
*wink* *wink*
It don't get much more "pussyfied" than Tiny George.
The only real 'news' in this entire birther saga is how sadly xenophobic and jingoistic many Americans are. The idea that someone must be furrin if he doesn't pick a banjo like the kid from Deliverance is really sad.
C'mon. The President had a multi-state, multi-national childhood, like many military brats, Foreign Service brats, major multinational corporation kids, etc. I would guess that many of them would have their legitimacy questioned if they ran, too. Probably not as ferociously, though, unless they happened to be dark-skinned or 'ethnically' named.
doez wee needz teh litter-racy tests again?
Yep. Except it should be on world geography and politics. That'll narrow the voting pool down some.
Did Bachmann just endorse Moveon.org?
Sounds like it to me.
And with that, I'm going to have to stop donating. (Her plan the whole time?)
Gawd, she's become such a stoner. Just look at her eyes. You can tell…
I can't wait for her to try and walk this back.
Sorry Hussein, not gud enuff! I want to see the won with your signature on it!
yes, but what about a certificate refuting his blackness?
Would a photo of his mother and sister do?
Why do the left-wing racists keep bringing up the fact that he's half-black? You know, he's half-white too!
He just claims to be half white. Which part of him is white? I haven't seen it. If that's the case, why doesn't he just release pictures of his bare behind and put an end to the rumors? What's he hiding?
dances, why is your pee score so low? do you feed trolls? cause i just snarfed my coffee reading this. SLOW CLAP.
"dances, why is your pee score so low?"
It is? It is! I want my "pee" score to be like everyone else's! I want to be normal. Is there a cure? Thanks.
Would that be known as a Carte Blanche?

T-BINO
Wonder when Michele will issue a statement that the Tea Bagger Caucus and Movement have never questioned President Obama's birth status?
It's not over until the comb-over swings.
Or something like that…
Tricksy Snuffleupagus is tricksy.
That's her excuse, and every bagger will buy it. They always do.
~
Michele will simply claim later that what she said was not a factual statement. She will then ask for the birth certificate of the clerk who notarized the document and claim conspiracy.
Booster Seat 1, Hot Seat 0.
Mr Extemporanus' elegant wit at work. Great comment, and even better when I looked again and saw that his seat really is boosted!
Merci beaucoup for the compliment M. Clinch, though I would humbly submit that the wit of said comment was not so much elegant as it was élèvent:
At 6'6", I'm endowed with an altitudinally advantageous perspective on ABC-employed, Edith Ann-esque ankle-biters perched precariously upon pillow-piled, leg-lengthened high chairs shoved under apple-laden, left-leaning tabletops that lower center of gravity-havers largely lack.
These GOP toughies are something aren't they? They'll make any accusation against their opponents, but the minute they're challenged face to face, their spines turn to guacamole. Next up, damage control with Klannity, where she'll say she was speaking in Pee Party code.
That's our George. He's small, but he's quick.
No, George is actually a moron who doesn't know the difference between Nepal or Tibet, or maybe it was Bhutan and Nepal, anyway, two of those countries over there in foreigner land, but he is, indeed, smarter than Michele Bachmann.
Oh, Georgey…are you actually asking these people to be rational? Now that's cute…
I guess the one sane voice in her head won that round.
If we had video of BO being actual-live-birthed coming out of his mama's vajaja on the fucking Washington Mall by the reflecting pool…..these fucking idiots would not believe it.
That's a bold statement.
I know. I am ranting like my 90 year old gramps. I see my future, and it is now.
Next step is ALL CAPS, you know.
I guess she figures her base would rather belt sand their nipples off than watch the Stephanopoulos show
Wouldn't that make all of us Bachmann's base?
Nothing like a fleeting moment of clarity to fuck you up with the Republican base.
"There you go." Haha.
That's all I got.
The baggers would re-crucify Jesus if he came back and said, "No, really, he was born in Hawaii and is an American citizen." Just imagine what they'll do to that socialist Michele.
Esp. when the baggers saw that Jesus did not have brown hair & blue eyes ala every cheesy, incorrect white dude interpretation. Ha ha, oh the hilarity that would ensue.
Well, there was some strange circumstances surrounding his birth and his father so I'd think there'd probably be some sort of birth certificate issue there.
She's too busy looking for Gore Vidal's birth certificate.
"would rather belt sand their nipples off than watch the Stephanopoulos show"
Maybe THAT should be the subject of the next Breitbart blog…wait for it…
"Conservative self torture in the face of no longer deniable reality, aka Never Give Up…it's only a flesh wound."
Whose nipples first? Bachmann? Breitbart? Glenn Beck with a picture of a bus glued to the belt sander? Sarah Palin with a snowmobile driven by Trig?
You once wrote, "There comes a time when all the cosmic tumblers have clicked into place and the universe opens itself up for a few seconds to show you what's possible."
Did she call George Snuffalupugus "John" at ~41 seconds?
Whatever,even if she did, that'd probably be the least stupid thing she does this year.
That or she said she was pwned. Either way no surprise.
Sorry, I couldn't get past Bachmann's line about the tax cut extension being Obama's idea. WTF planet is this cunt living on?
“As long as someone introduces it (the certificate) I guess it’s over.”
Michele, meet reality. Yes, I know it has been a long time.
What's up with all the zeros? Are we being watched by the New McCarthyites?
is "birtherreport.com" a parody site? can't tell…
Anything that ends with "Report" normally is (Drudge Report, for example).
Tomorrow morning she will awake sober and full of remorse.
Just like her last three pregnancies.
Followed by a "Walk of Shame" down the aisle on the House floor.
Not that I care much for celebrity worship, but how the fuck did Charlie Sheen become a darling of the Right Wing?
Is it kinda like Palin showing up with a pregos 17 year old daughter at the convention? Or Innanity's theme song on the radio being about domestic violence?
Or what?
Obnoxious? Check.
Arrogant? Check.
Denies reality? Check.
Vastly overcompensated? Check.
Never hesitates to step on others to further agenda? Check.
Parades personal failings as badges of honor? Check.
Delusional? Double check.
How could the Right not love Charlie?
Misogynist? Check.
Inflated sense of entitlement due to high income level? Check.
The Right's love affair with Charlie was overdetermined…
Or my town electing a black, convicted felon as mayor? (You can google that one and start pinning down my location, wonkette stalkers). One who is ineligible? Because the Baptist church openly back him?
A drive-shooting and 20 lbs of marijuana later, and this guy is going to cost the strapped government budget the cost of a special election. (And even the supporters of the incumbent are blaming Pres. Obama for this. Don't even get me started. But I already have, so tough shit.)
All you have to do in the Bible Belt is have Jesus (who is white and gay–read my Hosni Mubarek book report) on your side to be the new shiny thing or, for all the rest of them, say shit about the public official they most love to hate.
The amazing workings of the semi-literate mind.
I'm guessing you live in Detroit, Oklahoma.
Either that or Washington, District of Oklahoma.
I'll take Pawnee, Oklahoma for $1000 Alex.
To clarify, I don't live in town, just in case a troll is stalking me. In fact, at the recent city council meeting where our ineligible mayor was discussed, there were complaints about people like the Old Man and me, living outside the city and taking money out of it. (Actually, we put a lot of money into it–support local business and all that).
Which means we're Connecticut to Pawnee's Manhattan. Only different.
News flash: Rural America is full of morans. And decaying.
Charlie Sheen's being kept down by THE MAN!
OT, but watching Breitbart on Bashir on MSNBC, I really think we need a pool on when this guy will stroke out.
And then George showed her Obama's circumcision….
Methinks the Minnesotan lady doth too easily tricked. …
but if i were to trick her i would trick her to "move on" to some naughty places
How do you keep an idiot in suspense Jan…….
Maybe the Incans were right after all. 1) Jan Brewer vetoes bat shit birther & gun bills 2) Bachmann believes Barry has a birth certificate. Here we come 2012 apocalypse!
I hope so. I'd hate to think that our beloved Crazy Eyes isn't actually crazy, it would ruin everything we love in her.
That'd be like this depressing story about the Three Cups of Tea guy.
"is "birtherreport.com" a parody site? can't tell… "
Apparently not.
This just captured:

It's a problem with fanatical groupthink like the wingnuts'; stray just once and you're forever an apostate.
"You're all individuals!"
"Yes, we're all individuals!"
"You're all different!"
"Yes, we are all different!"
"You've all got to work it out for yourselves!"
"Yes! We've got to work it out for ourselves!"
Suck one little c*ck and they call you a c*cksucker forever.
If the birther thing has run its course, what's next? Perhaps Obama's marriage certificate. And paternity tests, of course, to ensure that those kids are really his. How could Obama possibly object to that unless that nice "family" is just some sort of Acorn ruse?
Here's the website:
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/
when you type in birtherreport.com, it takes you to this site…
Sorry I don't know how to make it a hyperlink.
I have no snark. I am just amazed as to the level of supposed conspiracy these folks dream up.
I hope your blubonnets are blooming. Its so darn hot and dry here in Austin our flowers are having a tough time.
Of course, then there the bluebonnets THAT ARE ON FUCKING FIRE! Good thing Perry is on his way to go kiss Obama's ass for money considering hairspray is flammable as hell.
Ours were pretty much a miss, this year.
The thing about this special brand of retards that frequent this blog, they are under the impression that not only has Obama's real birth certificate is hidden, but they also think that all his documentation of his education has also been locked away so no one can see it.
Yes, I have seen that too. I mean Harvard and Columbia University are part of this grand conspiracy?
Ohmagawd! Michelle Bachmann's been co-opted by George Stefanopoulos and his minions!
I see. And I think he'll run.
a) he's enough of an egomaniac;
b) he's got the ability to gather money (he won't bet much of his own) and
c) there is just a certain 'rightness' to it. He seems like Ross Perot 2012. Goes along with the Mayan apocalypse.
BONUS: It gives Sarah somebody to run as VP with. Sarah as VP, not the Combover.
I think he was just trying to get attention with the talk about running, but now that the teabaggers actually like him and he's winning the polls he's probably seriously thinking about doing so.
Want more feel-good stuff? Newt's PAC has raised. . .best be seated for this. . .$53,000 (that's thousands with a 'T') in the last 3 months.
What could stop him now?
A mild breeze? A kitten? A 98 pound weakling?
Oh, a rhetorical question. Never mind, then.
I was thinking mild infarction, but yeah, they'd all stop him.
Best news I've heard in quite a while. Thank you. He'll have to change his site from NewtExplore to NewtExpired.
I guess it was just newt in the cards for him.
However Bachman raised 2.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. I know , I'm a downer.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/weigel/archive/2...
Yeah, but she's also minced Kenyan Minion Meat now.
Are you kidding? She raised 2.2 mill? That's great news. They might actually run the bitch and while this isn't exactly saying a lot, there is nobody in that GOP field–NOBODY–who will be easier for Mr. Obama to beat than she. By the way, do you see what I did there? I referred to "Mr. Obama". I did that out of respect on account of his being the President of the United States of America. Once upon a time in this country that was SOP.
$2.2M plus whatever ColbertPac is going to spend on a series of commercials for her.
The good thing about Trump's current antics is that he must be annoying the heck out of Newtie.
Yeah, but that's still about $52,963 more than I would have expected he'd be able to raise.
Gout.
Jedi Journalism.
Bachmann: "The liberal media tricked me" in 3…2…1…
She must really hate having to appear not insane. I bet she goes home and beats all 28 kids at the end of the day just to let off steam.
No, the 28 kids run wild until Mr Bible-Cures-The-Gheys comes home, while she sits in front of the tv drinking and watching tapes of her own speeches.
Give Bachmanniac a break. She's been shaking this hokey nonsense all about cuz her birfer base is a little pokey on the uptake. Now she's turned herself around, and that's what it's all about.
She's trying to untard herself for the campaign. She still has the crazy to deal with, however.
She actually still manages to deploy one of the right's most insidious rhetorical ploys: tying the veracity of the evidence, no matter how obvious, to the trustworthiness of the person presenting said evidence. By repeating the mantra "I take the President at his word" Bachman and others maintain a plausible distance from any personal appraisal of the evidence and yet it's a ridiculous stance since given the evidence at hand it isn't necessary to "take the President at his word".
Hawaii? I thought those were Keynan documents.
It appears George wins this debate, but his booster seat seems unfairly high compared to Krazy Eyes.
When the Michele Marie Bachmann was still the Michele Marie Amble and was able to fit into a fancy basket, she was left on the doorstep of a republitard. Her birth parents recognized Immediately, she was a Burrito short of a Combination Plate. They couldn't just kill her, it would impolite. It was too late to say it was a partial birth abortion. So those poor parents did the best they could, they dropped her off. She lived next door to Timmeh until HS graduation. This should give you just a tiny little bit of insight into the life she led.
Did I forget to mention that it was the home of republitard wildabeasts?
But tomorrow will prove to the Back of Man that what George was really waving around was a forged entrance voucher for Disney World….look for it in 3..2..1…
Yes, but wouldn't the genealogy parts of the Gospel count as a long form birth certificate?
Oh wait, it's not a certified copy.
OT and a reason to hit the streets:
http://brightgreenscotland.org/index.php/2011/04/...
Present that dumb twat with reality and she will explode with the force of a black hole (Not Clarrence Thomas) hitting Rush Limbaugh
Be like her meltdown on Hardball when she claimed that Congress should be investigated for un-American activities, it was plastered all over the internet, so she goes on Faux Noise and claims that she was taken out of context.
Beware of Greeks baring gaffes.
Jan Brewer and Michele Bachmann better be aware of one thing: the gutless rhinoceros is an endangered species.
Done? Done? Their not done. Why even now as we type, in the deepest darkest dungeons of Birtherdumb a potion is being brewed ( by Christine O'Donnell
, cause she's a witch don't yah know) to wipe clean the memories of all those that wittnessed this event ( she still can't figure out how to use that Men in Black flashy thingy)
Very soon this wi….Ahhh, what are we talking about?
I'd applaud little Georgie for this. But we are talking about Michelle Bachmann here…
I never knew it was this easy to run for president. Never discuss any issues. Don't spend endless hours trying to figure out how to bring jobs to people. Just talk about some inane random thing on television show after television show and there you have it, you are president. Becoming president of America is easier than pretend laughing at your boss's ridiculous attempts at humor. Ugh.
First she says the budget battle was not the right fight. Now she says the Prezdent is an American. Librul bitch.
She's blown it! Now who can run with The Donald?
She prolly didn't know the interview was being recorded.
Michele has a birf certificate?, from planet……….. (fill in the blank)
Bachmann was too good here, what with her lightning quick riposte that Trump has room to grow, not to mention following that up with several clearly articulated and factual statements!
I'm hot for Crazy Eyes again!!1!!
(Also, Woot woot!)
And it's never been proven he was born on Dec. 25. By most accounts, they just glommed his "brithday" onto a pagan holiday
And …Push to right and push to right, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay right wing! Wo wing nuts!
Now, lets get to the thing about why the Republicans didn't believe he had a US birth certificate to begin with. Why the doubt? Instead of trying to prove that he is a US citizen, lets see the proof that he isn't!!!
What would Bachmann care if the media held a knife to Palin's throat? Hell, she'd like that shit. She'd friend that shit on Facebook.
Nice try, but it won't work. At this point I don't even think the Birthers would move on if Sarah Palin came on national TV and said "ok, enough already, he's a citizen, he's president, and he'll stay that way until 2012 at least. STFU already." The delusion is THAT ingrained now.
Would that America had investigated 9/11 with this much tenacity!
