Rove complains that Trump has been saying inaccurate things about Obama such as no one remembers Obama as a kid or at college.

Then at about 3:00 Rove says:

"It's one thing to say the president should put forth his birth certificate, and I don't understand why he isn't, and it is another thing to go out there and do what Trump has done and feed this paranoia that Obama is somehow not born in the United States of America"

This looks to me like a green light to Rove-blessed GOP establishment candidates to say that you don't know why Obama hasn't "put forth" his BC!

[SquarePants]

I’d say that statement is definitely a change of position... maybe Mr. Rove’s employer Ms. Bachmann wasn’t too happy with the feedback she almost certainly received today.

[taxesareforever]

If Rove wants to be considered a voice to listen to he better start targeting obama instead of other conservatives.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Good point.

Either Rove screwed up....or too many fraud Cons are taking his talking points

Calling Birthers crazy and attacking them is no way to beat Barack Hussein Obama.

And, you can bet radio stations carrying Rush Limbaugh and Mark Lah-vin shows are feeling the heat now. Calling the base kooks and karazees does not help your ratings.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Obama is always credited (falsely imo) with being such a smooth talker yet there is something on his real bc he can't smooth over.

[Seizethecarp]

I think Bachmann was saying well “if” Obama were to submit a BC _and_ it were authenticated that would be OK.

While she sounded like she was saying the COLB would be OK, she clearly was making the point that Obama hasn't actually submitted it to any court or authorities who could verify it.

I suspect that Romney is Rove’s favored candidate, not Bachmann, and it will be interesting to see if Romney picks up on this line of “Why hasn't he put forth the BC?”

[opentalk]

Interesting, because it seems that Rove wants Romney, and Romney has said it is a non issue. Maybe the Corsi book jumping to number 1 at Amazon has him reevaluating his position.

[woofie]

In politics its important to hammer home certain things and say one thing over and over....

I think “Why doesnt Obama release his BC ? “ is a non complicated thing to ask

After seeing and reading Bachmann’s recent comments....she did not seem so sure in saying all is OK in the Stephy interview. The Liberal Media is quite anti-Birther and will spin any comment favoring Obama

And, inconsistency is not Bachmann’s thing.

Also, note, she has never attacked Birthers

[opentalk]

Bachmann is a lawyer, I don't think Obama has official provided the COLB, if so he may be legally on the hook for fraud if it is not legit

the MSM covers for him insinuating it is an official document.

[muddler]

So trump has forced rove’s hand, that is pretty impresive.

[Seizethecarp]

It seems like a green light to challenge the MSM defense posture that Obama HAS released his BC (COLB) and here it is (waive the green thing around).

Just last week Gretta re-played the tape on this video of Rove saying Trump was “off in the nutty right”!

Now, with Trump's poll numbers rising Rove is trying to make his way back to the front of the parade, only he wants to school Trump on how to be more moderately credible as a “birther” by avoiding false statements.

[Deagle]

I really do turn the channel when Rove come on... With FOX, that does seem to require a liberal use of the remote...

[Seizethecarp]

Of course, the implication of Rove saying that Obama has NOT "put forth" his BC is that Obama is NOT born in America.

According to Rove you just aren't supposed to say it like that crass Donald Trump!

[Sprite518]

Too Late Rove.. Too late... We know you are a rat and it’s why we now have Obama. Thanks for nothing!

[cruise_missile]

The bottom line:

Obama has not released his LONG FORM birth certificate.
For whatever reason.

Also, Obama has a Connecticut SS#.

Strange stuff by anyone’s standards.

[Iron Munro]

If Rove takes a position, run the other way.

Rove’s policy advice and influence on George Bush during his presidency are a major reason why Barack Obama sits in the White House today.

[rhinohunter]

put forth his birth certificate, and I don't understand why he isn't

B...Bu...But Ted Baxter says he has actually seen the BC... so how is it that Tokyo Rove doesn't understand why obamao hasn't put forth the BC?

How could Ted Baxter have seen it if it hasn't been put forth?

I'm so confused... /sarc

[TShaunK]

Corsi you magnificent bastard!

[Sprite518]

Rove must have got a word that it maybe revealed that Obama is not a U.S. citizen, and it’s why all of sudden he has changed his tune? Just don’t forget where he was 24 hours ago.

Keep in mind folks Trump is not going to say something unless he already knows that he has won. Trump is not stupid enough to say what he did without already knowing all the cards on the table. That’s why he is a billionaire.

Even if you do not plan to vote for Trump... You should be cheering him on against Obama with this birth issue. We have to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You can continue to cheer on all candidates that go against Obama, but then vote for who you like when the time comes.
