Tommy Tuberville Raises Doubts On Obama's Birth Certificate (VIDEO)

Texas Tech football coach Tommy Tuberville weighed in on the issue of President Obama's birth certificate on Tuesday night during his guest appearance on Sean Hannity's "Great American Panel" on FOX News.

Tuberville initially criticized the Easter services Obama attended last weekend. Then Hannity brought up the birth certificate issue.

"Well, we've got enough controversy going on in this country," he said. "I don't know why he wouldn't just step up and say, you know, 'Here it is.' Obviously there's gotta be something on there that he doesn't want anybody to see. I don't understand it. You know, as a common American, I just don't understand why we just go through this and I think it's continued to divide the country."

Tuberville went on to say that "there's got to be something on there that he doesn't want anybody to see."

The White House released Obama's birth certificate on Wednesday morning.

Obama also made a five-minute statement, addressing the issue and explaining that the American people "do not have time for this kind of silliness."

The blatant racism towards Obama is disgusting, and these coaches as well as others should be fired.
If it wasn't Obama's birth certificate these racists would thinly veil their hate towards him in another way!

Your "reasoning" and that of the rest of the left is extremely faulty. What you are basically saying is that anyone who disagrees with Obama, anyone who questions anything that he's done or said is racist. Please tell me when it isn't racist for a white person to disagree with a black person?? You've pretty much implied that that isn't possible. Your reasoning implies that no one would disagree with Obama if he was white. Clinton was white and he had many detractors and "haters". Please people on the left ... please stop YOUR ignorance!

Tuberville should never have been on Hannity's show and make comments like he did. He is a football coach and he lost respect from a lot of folks for his stupidity. Too bad Leach isn't still the coach.

Office of the President
150 Administration Building

Do you seriously think they care? unless they lose recruits that spell it out for them simply the athletic department won't even make a comment because they are birthers themselves.

If I were a Black football player at Texas Tech, I would be fishing around to go somewhere else. Texas Tech should fire Tuberville as he's nothing but a racist, and he has many Black football players who will not be pleased to see that he's anti-Obama and mouthing off about it on the infamous anti-Obama Fox channel and an equally anti-Obama racist show, Hannity.

Maybe Tommy T should be more concerned about answering the allegations of monies paid to Auburn football players during his spell as head coach of Auburn instead of mouthing tea bag BS on TV? Look for the NCAA to start tracking his butt after they get done with Coach Sweater Vest at THE Ohio State University.

Why is he considered a "Great American" when he's obviously a racist?

The coach is a real brain. BS in Physical Education (jock) from some hick college. With his background and insight he could be a Republican Candidate.

And exactly what is this rabid racist going to teach the young black men entrusted to his care? Do they really have to address Tuberville as "Master" or "Massa"? How long has he been allowed to play out his racist dreams as he lords it over these young men?

What kind of name is Tuberville? Sounds like the name of a baby's toy. Is it American and is Tuberville actually a racist toy town for kids? Tommy is a racist and lets not let college football forget it.
