New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he wont run for president in 2012 and declined to endorse the potential candidacy of Donald Trump, one of his constituents.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Mr. Bloomberg called Mr. Trump a friend and New York icon. But he criticized the idea of questioning whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S., an issue that Mr. Trump has pressed.
The president was born here, Mr. Bloomberg said. I think the Republicans are making a terrible mistake in making this a big issue. Mr. Bloomberg said that if Republicans dont address larger issues such as the economy and immigration, they will lose and they deserve to lose.
Mr. Bloomberg noted that Mr. Trump isnt the only Republican challenging Mr. Obamas citizenship. This birther issue is more than one person, he said. There are a lot of roots that have glommed onto this.
Mr. Bloomberg also said, I am not running for president.
Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), the Republican standard-bearer in 2008, also declined to endorse Mr. Trump....

The Obama Birth issue is a very complicated one with elements that can confuse the ordinary person who only sees the surface information. This is why something that happened 50 years ago becomes like a cold case with many pieces that are difficult to put together. It is far too much for the ordinary politician like Bloomberg.
This is my theory:
I believe that Stanley Ann and Barack Sr were in Kenya to get the paternal blessing from Hussein Yangon Obama. This was at a time when he was still married to Kezia Obama. I think there was a cultural demand that Hussein Yangon Obama give his blessing on his son’s second wife. And because that woman was American, there may have been a racial component to his reaction to the situation.
It is my theory that Barack Sr did not get his father’s blessing. Instead, the father would send Barack Jr back to Hawaii and Stanley Ann was to go back to Seattle. That way she would be out of Barack Sr’s life. I think Obama Sr got considerable financing from his father, Hussein Yangon Obama. This is why my theory that Stanley Ann and Baby Barry went to Seattle, Washington. It was a return trip from Kenya with a demand that she did not go to the University of Hawaii with the son, Obama Sr. Obama Sr’s father, the financier of his son’s education, called the shots. Naturally, Seattle, Washington was the logical choice because Stanley Ann had connections there because of her exploits in the U-District as a high school student. When Stanley Ann went to the airport to get a flight to Seattle on British Airways, she was turned back. Her pregnancy was too far along for British Airways policy to let her on a long flight. She would have to have the child in Kenya.
While in Seattle, Stanley Ann needs a birth certificate for Baby Barry. She needs financial assistance from the State of Washington. The birth certificate must have been a requirement. She wires her mom to get one from Hawaii’s Department of Health. What the Hawaii Department of Health has on file would be the same as what someone would get if they were born at home with a midwife as the attendant.
Can we afford another term from this clown?
Trump shouldn’t have said “could not possibly have been born in Hawaii.” But I don’t have a problem raising the issue as he was also done with “have my doubts”
Anyone who says they know for sure is just blowing smoke.
No, it means he lives in New York City, where Mr. Bloomberg is mayor.
I think the Republicans are making a terrible mistake in making this a big issue.
Just what Republicans is he talking about?
More proof that the vast majority of Repubs are just as disgusting and eveil as Dems.

What? Mayor Bloomberg knows for a fact that Obama was born in Hawaii?
If the good mayor Bloomberg knows that Obama was born in the United States, specifically in Hawaii, I wish that he would share his information with the American public, because, as we all know, many of us have been desperately looking for at least the past two years for concrete proof that Obama was born in Hawaii as Obama claims.
NOTE: I hope that Mayor Bloomberg does not point to the Obama short form birth certificate that we see on Obama's Fight the Smears site as proof---a certificate where the number is blacked out and the Hawaii state seal is not visible to the naked eye---for these reasons: It automatically eliminated itself from any consideration as to its authenticity when (1) someone blacked out the number, and (2)because the Hawaii seal is not visible to the naked eye.
So, again, I challenge Mayor Bloomberg to put up or shut up and show us his beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt proof that Obama was born in the United States, specifically, that Obama was born in Hawaii.
A lot of people are bashing Trump, but I’ll tell you: At least the dude is going full tackle unlike these other wuss bags who tag themselves as Repubs or Conservatives. As I see it now, Obamination could win a 2nd term. I mean come on, Palin gives a great speech but she sounds like Judy Tenuta. The woman has absolutely no concept about voice. She comes across as a screeching fool. And WTF is Romney doing? Absolutely nothing. Maybe I’m being too harsh, maybe it’s too early, maybe I’, not paying attention as much, but as I see it now, Trump would absolutely destroy Obamination in a debate and ANYTHING is better than Obamination! If I had to choose right now, I’d go with Trump 1000%. Rememeber, we DO NOT want Obamination doing a 2nd term! And for me Trump so far seems the best option to prevent that and I’m getting a vibe that he isn’t going to drop it. He is serious.
Unlike a lot of folks here, probably, I actually know who Judy Tenuta is. And no.
Bloomberg is a democRAT and only became a Republican because he couldn’t get the democRAT nomination against the marxists who are the Borough Presidents.
Bloomberg is an epic failure as mayor like Obunghole is as president.
Trump needs to produce “something” tangible on this issue soon. It's got to be something real something that can't be ignored and something that the Obamnoids can't readily explain without twisting themselves into logical knots. My current sense is things are starting to adjust to a new “norm” he needs to drop a “tangible” bomb to shake things up again.
If we get another term from that clown, there won’t be a country left when he is finished. You might as well pound in the tombstone “USA 1776 - 2012” If he gets re-elected, liberals and Islamic terrorists will be mocking Bush saying “Mission accomplished”. I truly believe that. THAT is their only agenda and you can expect to live from then on in a 3rd world enviornment. We will be under the bootheel of China and most of the people you know will be homeless which seems to be happening already. I know 3 people already who are. My parents are 71 and are paying already $12,000 a year in property taxes. Imagine if they raise that to $120,000 which Obamination wants to do! Palin, Romney, they have no chance against this idiot. Trump is the only one who has the balls to confront this foreign prick.
Bloomberg is an insufferable liberal. He ran as an independent. And he is very unpopular in NYC these days.

And yet another RINO dimwit side-stepping the NBC issue. Barry could have be born ANYWHERE, but if he was born to Stanley and BHO1, Barry is NOT and NBC, period. Trump may be the only American with the stones, money, and investigative curiosity to become truly someone "with standing" to get to the bottom of this.
We are in a situation now so bad where only a guy who plays outside the accepted norms of debate will save this country. We need a guy like Trump who will get right in Obaminations face. Now is not the time for gutless game playing, politeness from the likes of Palin and Romney.
Thanks to Ted Kennedy and his Immigration act, this country now is almost completely over-run by foreigners, and nobody says ANYTHING....Except Trump! Foreigners dictating policy is UNACCEPTABLE! China dictating policy and trade is UNACCEPTABLE! The USA spending billions and losing lives to protect OPEC from psycho Muslims while OPEC fks us in the ass is UNACCEPTABLE! Trump is a wild card, but once in a while you need one when the going gets wild and that is exactly where we are now. This is a guy who is not going to accept failure which is why I am going 1000% for Trump.
Palin can’t speak. Yes she gives good speeches, but she sounds like a psychopath, like Judy Tenuta when she speaks. The woman has no concept at all of voice. Romney comes across like John Kerry, all arrogance. TRUMP has a genius for plain talk, just like Reagan, and that is EXACTLY what we need right now. I do NOT CARE whether he is a lib or a Rino or whatever. ANYTHING to get this dkhead Obama OUT and STOP the major fking by these countries and foreigners is fine by me!
The thing is though is he is NOT going to do it if he keeps hearing shiet, if he gets no support and we will be stuck with Palin, Romney and all the rest who have maybe a marginal chance again Obamination.
Trump on the other hand would absolutely destroy Obamination. ONE debate and Obamination is finished. Don’t forget: Before 1980 people saw Reagan the same way people see Trump now. I remember that clear as day “Oh he is just a B movie actor! What does he know! He’s an idiot! A fraud!” But the guy talked plain, spoke the truth, and he absolutely destoyed Carter.
