John Legend isn't happy with Donald Trump. But it's not so much The Donald's supposed ambitions to run for president in 2012 that have upset the Grammy-winning pianist; it's Trump's insistence on questioning Barack Obama's nationality."He needs to stop saying that racist bulls**t birther s**t," Legend told told Vulture last night in New York City. "Quote me please. He should be ashamed of himself. It's awful, really."
Trump recently said on 'Good Morning America' that Obama's purportedly cloudy childhood fills him with doubt. "You may go back and interview people from my kindergarten," Trump said. "They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward [for Obama]. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange. The whole thing is very strange."

President Obama had to show his Birth Cert to more important people than you and I, to be President you have to be confirmed to have been born in this country.
What is the deal with Trump? If he wants to run for Pres. RUN
but why dis President Obama. If he can do better than try it!
I think as President Obama said on day one, this countrys problems will be no quick fix. Maybe the republicans should get out their magic wand.
Everyone born in the usa has a State issued with the certificate number birth certificate. What I am understanding is that bo showed a hospital certificate which could be forged quite easily.
The state registry has a page number & a certified seal on it. I have both but only had what the hospital issued for many years until I realized it was NOT an official BC, then I paid to have my home state look it up and issue a certified copy to me with the state seal. Obama could ask Hawaii to issue his if he was truly born there then just show the dam thing but I feel he thinks he is too good and above it all to do just that. I do remember his tribal grandma in Kenya stating he was born there and she witnessed it, that was in the newspapers 2 yrs ago.
Why do you think the State of Hawaii is lying about having a valid birth certificate on file?
Obama's b.c. is, and has been, available for all to see; so shut up about it.
Racism is alive and well no matter what lengths any individual takes to deny it.
Hey Legend, whether he is black or white he still don't have a birth certificate so shut up racist pig!

Said Perfectly!!!
You really need to stop, looks like you are the racist one, for god sakes...go take a long walk on a short pier. John Legend is 100% correct.
I agree! Asking for someone to present a valid birth certificate does not make you a racist. Sounds like Mr. Legend should be branded the racist!
I'm white, likely old enough to be your grandmother and I know Mr. Trump. I know him because I live in New York and I know him because I have been at dinner parties seated near him and forced to listen politely to his "often wrong, never in doubt" blather. Thirty years ago, at one such event, I recall Mr. Trump announcing that he should be President becauase he was smarter than anyone else. I remained focused on not snorted the food I have just eaten or laughing out loud -and keeping a pleasant smile on my face.
Of course Mr. Trump's most recent "statements" are mainly about Trump and his overblown ego (everything in his life is!) but it is also about the race and background of the President-who is American born, professes the Christian faith and on the personal side seems to have managed two things that have eluded Mr. Trump: multiple (and ugly) divorces and personal bankruptcies.
As an American I take this incessant smear campaign (and its particularly ugly overtones) against the President of the United States very seriously. This is destructive to our country and debases our finest American values.
I have always considered Mr. Trump to be a rather foolish man with too many personal issues to count or care about but with his most recent statements he has crossed the line into something ugly and I'll say it-racist.
If you and other readers of these posts are new to the real Donald Trump, you might want to learn something more about him before deciding that he has anything important to say about anything other than being a professional celebrity and real estate man who inheriterd the business from his mother and father, the late Fred and Mary Trump.

Patriotism used to be the last refuge of scoundrals..now its race...
If Obama has nothing to hide why has he hid everything?

Dammit, slavery was over more than 150 years ago! Get over it! It's not anyone's fault who is alive today, and it's NOT a "racist" issue; it's a "where was he born?" issue. Shut up! Enough with it! He's half-black, half-white, anyway! Just shut UP about all this!

Show me the birth certificate, Barry!
Show me the money!
Why were you known as Barry Sotero all your life until your college years when you changed your name to BO after all your college roommates were ultra-rich Arab Muslims!!!!!?
I am disgusted with Trump. Out of all the people to pull something like this. African Americans use your services! Wake up and smell the coffee...this is just a strategy for presidency. We already know he's running. This is a distasteful way to get people to side with you. He's been president for a while now why bring it up. Knowing full well he is an African American. Listen Ku Klux Klan step off! UIts called UNITED States not Divided. Lets work together. Its so petty and immature
This is ridiculous. Trump is just questioning where Obama was born, and whether or not he was born in the US. Kinda important when you are the president of the USA. Hey John....did you vote for Obama? If so why? Would you have voted for a WHITE guy with almost NO political experience? Sick of black people screaming racism when it isn't the issue at all.

Listen...Trump, has no reason to question the president, it is all there and legit. Trump or actually Stump is the most ignorant stupid person everyone wants to hate. I would not believe one word that man says, he has screwed over so many people and think he is the kings S**T.
lost all respect for j. legend when he used the race card.
