Mr. Trump was referencing a memorandum written by Mark Penn, her chief strategist at the time.

Quote:That memo, which was part of campaign documents featured in a September 2008 article in The Atlantic, cited Obama’s “boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii” as life experiences that made his “basic American values … at best limited.” But Penn’s memo did not question Obama’s birthplace or his birth certificate.

Keep it up, fanboy!
No evidence Reahe he he he llly?

How about 2007 Clinton campaign memo?
How about a hillary 60 minutes televised interview, where she call obama's citizenship into question?
How about a clinton appology to obama for starting this whole movement???

Are the about news sources too right wing for your sensibilities??? The following is from the huffie post:

Back in March of 2007, Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist Mark Penn wrote a campaign memo that proposed painting Barack Obama as un-American or “other”:
“His roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values ... Every speech should contain the line you were born in the middle of America to the middle class in the middle of the last century ... Let’s explicitly own ‘American’ in our programs, the speeches and the values. He doesn’t.
In December of 2007, Billy Shaheen, the co-chair of Clinton’s New Hampshire campaign, raised the issue of Obama’s drug use as a young man, and the possibility that Obama could be attacked as a drug dealer. He said he was talking about how Republicans would attack Obama, but his statements had the effect of injecting racist stereotypes into the campaign: “It’ll be, ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?’ There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks.” It is a tried and true tactic: floating an idea to which you claim to not personally ascribe, with the effect of getting the idea to circulate.
The next day, Clinton privately apologized to Obama for Shaheen’s comments and claimed she had nothing to do with them. Obama didn’t accept the apology because he believed Clinton’s campaign was circulating emails claiming he was a Muslim. According to Reggie Love, Obama’s personal assistant at the time: “The candidate [Obama] very respectfully told her the apology was kind, but largely meaningless, given the emails it was rumored her camp had been sending out labeling him as a Muslim.”
In February 2008, the Drudge Report posted a picture of Obama in traditional Kenyan/Somali clothes (including a turban, which helped reinforce the “secret Muslim” smear). Drudge said the picture was circulated by the Clinton campaign....

Like it or not your golden girl is beyond a hypocrite, and a liar. These 'attributes' maybe what you look for in a leader, but for me this makes her the worst of the worst kind of person. Just an elitist who will literally say or do anything to get what they want. This is the LAST person on the planet who should be considered for this office not one of the top two. The fact that she is in the top two speaks volumes to the decay of our collective values.

When is it ok for our leaders to be liars and hypocrites? when we as a people want to be liars and hypocrites.
