Forward. President barack obama was born in the United States period. Now, we all want to get back to making america strong and great again. For several years, trump has been the most prominent birther, which was the name given to those who insisted that president barack obama was born outside of the u. S. Just yesterday, trump tolded Washington Post that he remained quote unwilling to say that president obama was born in the u. S. But after quite a bit of backlash this morning he made what he said was going to be a major statement. Now, Hillary Clinton for her part, she had some comments about all this today, and shes not letting trump off the hook. For five years he has led the Birther Movement to delegitimize our first black president. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. There is no erasing it in his history. Hillary clinton also called on donald trump to apologize to the president and to the american people. In his speech today, trump did not say he was sorry for pushing the birther theory, and by the way, president obama weighed in on the birther issue, joking that he was quote pretty confident about where he was born and that he thinks most other people are as well. Donald trump clearly trying to put this issue to bed, but it is an issue that could come back once again once the debates get going in just a few weeks. Alex, thank you. A new news poll suggested with less than two months before the general election, it has Hillary Clinton and donald trump separated by 1 percentage point among likely voters nationally. In a twoway race, those polls give trump the edge over clinton. In a four way match up its the other way around. Clinton receives 4 1 to trumps 40 percent.
