Obama's "Birth Video" Segment

Obama: "My fellow Americans. Mahalo!"

(Laughter and applause)

Obama: "It is wonderful to be here at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. What a week. As some of you heard, the state of Hawaii released my official long-form birth certificate."
-
(Applause)
-
Obama: "Hopefully this puts all doubts to rest. But just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight I’m prepared to go a step further. Tonight, for the first time, I am releasing my official birth video."
-
(Laughter)
-
Obama: "Now, I warn you—no one has seen this footage in 50 years, not even me. But let's take a look."

Obama: "Oh, well. Back to square one. I want to make clear to the Fox News table: That was a joke. That was not my real birth video. That was a children’s cartoon. Call Disney if you don’t believe me. They have the original long-form version."
