Why Are They So Bothered By The Donald?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | April 12, 2011 | Douglas MacKinnon

Suddenly, White House aides and liberal columnists like Stuart Rothenberg and Eugene Robinson are attacking Donald Trump with a vengeance. Why?

When I asked a high-level Democrat in Washington why the full-court press was being directed at Trump, this person said, "Simple. He's touched the third rail of Obama's mysterious birth certificate and the White House and those who advocate for the president in the media are petrified that Trump's very name, stature and ability to generate headlines is going to give the subject a whole new life.

"Hence, they have to try to belittle him and marginalize him as quickly as possible before more voters start to pay attention and ask questions."

Was President Obama born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961? He says he was and that seems good enough for most people including all of the mainstream media. Does his birth, homes, youthful travel and family and oral history leave more unanswered questions than a week's worth of "Jeopardy" shows? Donald Trump and a growing list of people seem to think they do.

As Trump elevates the platform holding these questions, it's fairly obvious why at least politically, the White House and its unethical defenders in the mainstream media would try to eviscerate him. Of course, by doing so, they themselves are now bringing renewed attention to the subject of Barack Obama's birthplace, his missing-in-action original birth certificate and the qualifications to be president as spelled out in our Constitution.

Just this past weekend, senior White House adviser David Plouffe said that Trump was displaying "sideshow behavior" for daring to ask questions about the president's place and country of birth. He then went on in a predictable and hackneyed way, to state that "there's zero chance" Trump would be "hired" by the American people....

It should be interesting....there is definitely something on the birth certificate that Obama does not want us to see.

ultra-liberal columnist Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post followed that up with, "anyone could seriously imagine Trump as president of the United States — the actual president, living in the real White House, making fateful decisions about war and peace — must reflect something deeper and more significant than the weakness of the Republican field.

That's funny, that's exactly what I thought when Obozo was nominated except I related to the Democrat field.

From the Article: Two days later, ultra-liberal columnist Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post followed that up with, "anyone could seriously imagine Trump as president of the United States — the actual president, living in the real White House, making fateful decisions about war and peace — must reflect something deeper and more significant than the weakness of the Republican field.

Oh, yes, I feel much more confident having a Muslim socialist who never had a job or made a decision living in the real White House, making fateful decisions about war and peace. What a joke these people are.

The Donald is onto something, even though a lot of Republican insiders wish he would drop it. As for the seething left and their irrational fits of slinging spit, they are doing what they do to conservatives who start gaining a little popularity. It doesn’t matter who that is. Palin gives them fits and Trump is gives them fits. They will have fits because of Herman Cain, and should Christy run, he’ll give them fits.

Careful analysis of this statement is an admission. Glossing analysis of this statement is an admission. Head up the azz while whistling analysis of this statement is an admission.

Suddenly, White House aides and liberal columnists like Stuart Rothenberg and Eugene Robinson are attacking Donald Trump with a vengeance. Why?

1. Because they cannot filter Trump out of the media spotlight.

2. They saw the way he single handedly ruined their fellow traveler Rosie O'Donnell.

3. Young people like him, he's not boring like their tired, stuffy liberal asses.

What is it about 0bama's lack of eligibility that scares these RINOs? Why do they want to keep the usurper in power as he is driving the Country into the ground?

Do you really expect him to back off at this stage of the game? He’s now polling as the #1 pick for Republicans for president!

Anytime anyone displays such a high level of hysteria over a simple question that can be settled for $12 you know something is not right. The question now goes farther than whether he is a natural born citizen and has morphed into what is he hiding that requires such a dramatic response. It would take less than a minute for him to call the hospital in Hawaii and say release my long form BC to the public and all the drama would end (or escalate guessing by what must be on that certificate).

Instead hours upon hours and millions of dollars later the question remains. There is obviously something wrong or Obama is intentionally stringing it along for political gain (which says volumes about the kind of person he is).

Trump is going to find some of his major deals falling apart.

Paperwork will be lost, funds will dry up, partners will pull out.

He will soon start having problems with the EPA, OSHA, EEO and affirmative action complaints, union slowdowns and walkouts, accusations of racism, investigations of his finances and income, IRS audits and everything else Obama, Holder and the filthy democrats can throw at him.

Hmmmmm.
