Obama on his citizenship: ’The facts are the facts, right?’

(CNN) – President Obama dismissed on Sunday the results of recent polls that show a significant portion of the population have doubts about his citizenship and believe he is a Muslim.

In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams on Sunday, Obama said ”the facts are the facts, right?” But said ”there is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly.”

”I can’t spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead,” the president added

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released August 4th showed more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama’s citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States and another 16 percent saying the president was probably not born in the country.

In a poll conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released this month, nearly one in five Americans believe Obama is a Muslim, up from around one in 10 Americans who said he was Muslim last year
