Ex 50's heartthrob Pat Boone said Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not the U.S., it emerged on Saturday.
Announcing his 'birther' opinions, the ageing former crooner was filmed saying the President's long-form birth certificate, which was sensationally released in June, was a 'photo-shopped fraud'.
Mr Boone, 77, also said he believed Obama was born in Kenya, and that he was 'spending millions of dollars' of tax payer's money to cover up 'the truth'.

Speaking on video to the San Francisco Chronicle, Mr Boone - who is a member of the Beverly Hills Tea Party - said he did not believe Obama was born in the U.S.
He said: 'I was in Kenya about a year and a half ago and everybody said, 'you know he was born here.'70;Why else would he be hiding all his records.
'He is spending millions of dollars so we do not have his records..And experts have already looked at and been able to verify that this long form document is a fraud.
'But the media ignores it70;.a total fraud. A photo-shopped fraud.'
According to a recent CNN poll, one in six Americans still believe the President was definitely or probably not born in the U.S.
However this figure of 17 per cent after the birth certificate's release in May was a fall from the 25 per cent who gave the same response in March.

The embarrassing comments come after a book published on the topic reached number six on a New York Times best seller list.
56;Where's the Birth Certificate?57; by Jerome Corsi, which argues he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, stormed the charts after it was released in June.
The book's blurb says it shows 56;conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified Obama's legal eligibility to be President57;.
It has a 56;compelling body of evidence57; to show that Mr Obama 56;is not a natural-born citizen as is required of all presidents (by) the Constitution57;.
Dr Corsi says his work shows Mr Obama was a dual citizen of the UK and U.S. - and shows he was registered in school as a Muslim and Indonesian citizen.
