Obama campaign selling 'birther' T-shirts

By Jordan Fabian - 05/18/11 11:53 AM ET

President Obama's campaign team is trying to capitalize on claims that he was not born in the United States.

His campaign is now selling T-shirts emblazoned with his face above the slogan "Made in the U.S.A." On the back is an image of his birth certificate. The fundraising pitch says the shirt is a "limited-edition" item.

Obama released his long-form birth certificate last month to prove he was born in Hawaii after billionaire businessman Donald Trump cast doubt on the authenticity of the his birth certificate.

2. I'd say that he's capitalizing on the FACT that he WAS born in the USA.
After all the BS he had to put up with I think it's great that his campaign is sending out the T-shirt as a fundraising gift.
Look at all the money the 'birthers' made on this issue,
it's only fair that Obama make his share ;)

5. I like this idea, but I can't stand white T-shirts...
They should offer some colors also.

I just left a rambling one (it's early). Mine is the one that uses the word "idiots" a lot.

14. Obama birth certificate T-shirts for sale
Obama birth certificate T-shirts for sale
By ERICA WERNER, Associated Press Erica Werner, Associated Press – Wed May 18, 3:19 pm ET

WASHINGTON – You've seen President Barack Obama's birth certificate. Now you can wear it.

The Obama campaign is selling T-shirts on its website that show Obama's face on the front along with the words "Made in the USA."

On the back is an image of the president's long-form birth certificate from Hawaii — the one the White House finally produced in April in an attempt to squelch the "birthers" who claim Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, and therefore ineligible to be president.

The campaign advertised the T-shirts Wednesday, along with birth certificate mugs, in an email to supporters describing a new book by birther Jerome Corsi, a longtime Obama attacker. Corsi has a new publication out titled "Where's the Birth Certificate?" in which he makes false claims about Obama's purported ineligibility for the presidency.

Checked "google images," found one birth certificate t-shirt in colors, with a message:
