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....

Yup, his life will be ruined. This is a very high stakes game for Trump and he has to finish it. He cannot go Emily Latella and expect to then just get on with his life...LOL!
Yep, but he knew that going in. He must think his goal, whatever it is, is worth it, and it is going to be very interesting watching this play out.
POTUS is Trump’s if he chooses to run.
The GOP will have no choice but to nominate him, because IF he is serious about running as an IND, then Hussein wins by default.
Because Trump can’t be bought off or threatened with death(successfully).
I really thought He was kind of funny, but it is getting real serious now. What exactly does he have to hide?
Trump should release his academic records next week and ask why Obama hasn't released his. I am confident that Trump was a good student. I highly doubt Obama made the deans list anywhere.
“-—Authentic Frontier Gibberish”
Classic! I gotta steal that!
“Why do they want to keep the usurper in power...”
They certified his election.
They’d be thrown out/imprisoned, etc., too.
Money.
Threats to self/family.
Power.
Chits against the Dems/0bama.
Trump Will Probably Run as Independent If He Doesnt Win GOP Nomination
-- snip --
I think the Republicans are very concerned that I [may] run as an independent, Mr. Trump said. His support is highest among the conservative wing of the party, not least because he is among the so-called birthers who doubt that President Obama in fact was born in the U.S. Its a very important issue, Mr. Trump said of demanding that President Obama show his birth certificate, which has separately been reviewed by the media and deemed legitimate. Im not ashamed of having raised that issue.
I am very conservative, said Mr. Trump. The concern is if I dont win [the GOP primary] will I run as an independent, and I think the answer is probably yes. Mr. Trump said he thought he could possibly win as an independent, adding, Im not doing it for any other reason. I like winning.

If he is not nominated by the GOP and he decides then to run as an Independent, he could very well be a spoiler like Ross Perot was
Hugh Hewit went batshi+ over a caller that brought up Trump. Calling him a birther nutter. Why? All he said was there must be something Obama wants to hide, why else would he hide it. Dipshi+ is also calling for a sales tax, if taxes need to be increased.
Great link at 15! The plot thickens again!
His ego is bigger than Perot’s, amazingly.
I can see him reelecting Obama with a vanity 3rd party run. See it easily. Damn.
Hew Hewitt was an open borders pro-amnety RINO until his callers nearly phone-lynched and pistol-whipped him on it for months. Gradually he saw the light.
He’ll join the winning side when the BC issue goes even more mainstream, and his callers continue to remind him he’s wrong.
A good friend of mine owns a mid-sized security & bodyguard company in Texas. His main account is a guy worth about $200 million. Mr. Trump is probably worth 10 to 40 times that much, so imagine the security he has.
Tnx. Hope all is well.
What did Trump do or say to Rosie O’doughnut? I keep hearing about it, but would like to know more.
The information in a COLB is, as a practical matter, meaningless.
The reason is that there are three (3) levels of information at least in the HI birth records, including original registraation info, the INDEX of data extracted, and the info requested and issued in a COLB.
There are multiple and myriad ways that the original registration information may have been filed. From a standard hospital birth affirmation, to legally allowed late registrations registrations of foreign born children of Hawaii citizens amendments and alterations of existing birth records, including to modify the existing record for ADOPTION which may include changing the fathers name on the original record. In consequence of many of these variations, the original records may be SEALED and not thereafter subject to review at all. Information on the COLB from the INDEX may not match in many instances the original registration information. Some original registrations do not require any third party verification but may be made on statement by a parent or other applying person, and if at all may be based on nothing other than a family bible entry.
But the most intriquing example of how a birth registration may have been made in Hawaii prior to 1972, is via a late birth registration (subject to later change or amendment) which at that time could be made solely at the discretion of the director of health on affidavit of a parent, possible without any other confirming information. See: Hawaii code of regulations Public Health Regulations Chapter 8 former section 14. Delayed Birth Registration (..additional evidence MAY be required).
Whatever statutory legal presumptions may apply to a COLB under Hawaii law the simple truth is that due to the wide variety of manner and circumstances of registration, past lax evidentiary standards, potential for amendment and alteration such as by adoption, potential sealing of original records..and a COLB based only on Indexed data reflecting the revisions and nothing else.
A significant factor in continuing doubt as to Obamas progeny is the unusual circumstance of no physician or hospital taking credit or being unequivocally named by Obama as his birthplace.
It’s the pedants among them, the grammar police. Whose name starts with an article?
Bump.
