Obama: 'I'm Pretty Confident About Where I Was Born'

09-16-2016

Even as his two-term presidency winds down, President Barack Obama can't seem to shake suspicion& by some that he wasn't born in the United States. It's a flame Donald Trump, champion of the so-called "birther movement," continues to stoke.

Friday during a meeting with allies on his Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal (aka TPP) in the Oval Office, the president was asked to react to Trump's decision to breath new life into the issue.

"I have no reaction and I'm shocked that a question like that would come up when we have so much to do," the president told reporters.

"I was pretty confident about where I was born, I think most people were too," he continued.
