Tech’s Tuberville Asks, Obama Obliges

61 Comments

When Tommy Tuberville speaks, the president acts. Or so it seems.

Tuberville, the head football coach at Texas Tech, appeared in an interview Monday night on FOX News with Sean Hannity, to whom he questioned why Barack Obama had yet to release his birth certificate.

On Tuesday morning, Obama made available the long-form version of his birth certificate to quiet those who believe he was born outside the United State and, therefore, is ineligible to serve as president.

In the interview, Tuberville said that, if Obama came forth with the certificate, it would go a long way toward unifying the nation by ending the unneeded controversy.

“Obviously there’s got to be something on there that he doesn’t want anyone to see,” Tuberville said to Hannity. “I don’t understand it. I’m an American. I don’t understand why we just go through this. I think it just continues to divide the country.”

It’s unlikely Obama even knew about Tuberville’s appearance on Fox News – obviously – but it’s funny that the decision came in the wake of comments by a college football coach. Hey, FOX News had tried everyone else.

    Ok let me just say this…W and H both were possibly the dumbest Presidents we have ever had. Now we have a man ran and won but most Americans ans even other world leaders don’t have the Respect to call him President Obama. Why is that? Makes you wonder if Racism is a part of of the whole conspiracy to discredit the President. Just a thought.

    Why is he the only President that has had to release his Birth Record? No other President in the History of our country has ever been asked to so. Kinda makes you wonder why now? Hell Some of our past Presidents (H & W) come from Planet Moron and we let them run the country.

    If your a liberal then you are what’s wrong with this country. What’s so hard about waking up each day, working hard and paying for your own stuff. Not asking for handouts like every democrat loves to campaign off of like Obama. “hope and change” ….that’s the biggest line of crap ever. He hoped to get your vote, then changed/screwed up the country even more. Tubs is just speaking his mind and of course liberals can’t be okay with that cause EVERYTHING is offensive to them. If you can turn his comments into racism then youre a moron and can’t think outside of the box. That’s why there’s a million govt programs out there for you cause you can’t take care of yourself and blame everyone else for what may be going wrong.

    Obama is the biggest racist in the country today,. Poor little me, everybody is against me b/c I’m black. What a coward. Too bad Bush couldn’t run for a third term, what a guy!!!!

    I think all the black players should leave Texas tech.

    Those of you that think race is not an issue are in denial. I may not agree with you but you still have the right to your own opinions. Which is great because it gives me insight on how certain people see the world. Thanks and keep it up so i will understand how you think and why you feel that way.

    Since a birth certificate was released two years ago, why were the birthers asking for another one?

    @Lane Haley: How about the fact that John McCain was born in Panama? That is and never was US soil! There are a multitude of ways to qualify as a ‘natural born’ citizen, not just having two US citizen parents and being born on US soil. If you are going to try to impress with your (very limited) knowledge of immigration law, you should learn it first. But, that would mean going to a real school that still teaches science based facts, not mythological fairy tales.
