The Donald is the only one that can stay in the ring and dominate these media turkeys, and that’s what’s needed

Ring is an interesting choice of words. Trump would fit nicely in a circus ring but not The Oval Office.

he is doing this just to keep his mug on TV..

That could be. We will have to wait and see.

The one thing Trump is doing is blistering Obama anytime the subject gets to economics. That's been happening for a year.

He is saying that OPEC and the ChiComs think Obama's a joke. Since Trump has probably sat in the room with those guys no interviewer is going to challenge that. That's why I think they force the birther issue.

Also, Rahm Emanuel's brother is Trump's agent. Trump and Rahm Emanuel are friends, or at least know each other. It's hard for me to imagine there's no communication there.

I don't know if that's good or bad, or what it portends. If Rahm Emanuel is still inside Obama's team, that's bad news for our side. If he's been pushed out by Jarrett as the rumors say, then all bets are off.

When I watched Stephanopoulos's reaction when he was trying to find out what Trump had, I got the idea that whatever cards Trump is holding dictates what Team Obama does. They can't get out front on it because they could do something to make themselves look even worse.

As I said yesterday, Trump could be inside their OODA loop.

Who knows. At least it's fun to speculate.

I don't know about that. It sounds like Trump's money is behind Jerome Corsi's book to be released next month. Besides, Trump has "something". He has the fact that the President of the United States will not release his long-form BC. That is a fact.

I dont buy this theory that he is just waiting to show his birth certificate after enough rope has been given to the Republicans to hang themselves with.

This has been dragging on so long that it has just been permanently put in the minds of people, and even if he were to show his BC and it was 100% legit and didnt contain any embarrasing info, alot of people would still just pass it off as being a forgery or whatever, or some people would think of him as using it to just have played a game.

The only people that it would really boost him with are the people that were going to vote for him anyways (blacks, commies, homos).

It’s just not a net gain for him by letting this drag on and on. The logical conclusion is either he does not have it or it contains something that he really does not want people to see.

I agree 100%.

His family didnt lie when they made the birth announcement because they thought at the time he would one day be president. That is the kinda logic that the left uses against birthers to try to make them sound crazy.

His family lied about the birth annoucement at the time for the same reason that all these mexicans try to sneak into America before they give birth. His family just wanted to make it easier for him to receive all the everyday perks and benefits of someone who was born on American soil.

I believe he was born in Kenya. At that point shortly after his birth that his mother returned to America with him, and in the meantime his grandparents in Hawaii made a couple phone calls to the newspaper etc. announcing that Obama was born in Hawaii. The mother returned so quickly to Hawaii with Obama after the Kenyan birth that nobody was the wiser, ecspecially back than when things were not nearly as sophisticated as they are now.

I think the left picked him as the annoited one to replace Bush. But that the left discovered this whole eligibility mess after it was too late to dump him and pick another mesiah, so they just covered it up.

I think Obama was born in Hawaii, and that there is a long-form BC. I think there is something on that long-form BC, though, that would destroy the narrative that he invented for his life. I simply can’t believe that his family knew at his young age that he would run for President. Instead, I believe that the COLB that we see was invented when Barry started running for the Senate.

You can’t blame a child for where he was born, but you can blame a man for lying about who he was and is. I also think he converted to Islam while in Pakistan in 1981, and that he never legally changed his name from Barry Soetero (or Steve Dunham?) to Barack Hussein Obama. I simply do not believe that was his birth name.

If he was born “Steve Dunham” it would be awfully hard to explain the “Barack Obama” birth announcements.

Maybe there was a Barack Obama born in Hawaii who is ...ahem... no longer with us.

Heck, they stole someone elses Social Security number... why not name and birthday too.

Article and Section, please.

Exactly. The constitution cites no method of determining eligibility.

The voters should consider this of President and leader of the democrat party, he is SO WEAK AND USELESS that any TV celebrity can slap him around for mere ratings or with out fear of hurting a political campaign.

Bachman is an idiot.

Until George releases for all to see the paper he claims is in his possession, there’s no telling what he has.

And, as a Clinton crony, the honesty fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Has anybody actually seen the newspaper in which the birth announcement was made?

I think it would be on Microfische by now- anyone should be able to get it

so... was the microfiche ‘altered’ some people seem to think so

I happen to have my birth announcement from the newpaper my parents saved in a scrapbook 53 years ago... its a long shot but I wonder if anyone in HI does too?

Less than 8 years after 9/11, the American Idol watching Jim Jones’ America voted for a guy named “Barack Hussein Osama” [Obama is Swhili for Osama].

This unkown has no legal documentation at all. NONE. The State Run Media doesn’t give a crap. Never reported anything about his past.

To illustrate how absurd this situation is......Hussein could be Al Queda. How would we know?

His status right now is illegal alien. Usurping the President of the United States. Who handed the nuclear football to this marxist muslim America-hating faggot illegal alien?

Yeah, this issue is so unimportant. Let’s move on, shall we /s.....Just the fact that this POS, all the while destroying America, is still in the White House after 2 years tells us one thing. The grand experiment is dead.

Most people vote on the character of the candidate....issues are normally secondary. The birth certificate issue has the potential of demonstrating that he is a fraud and a liar.

The way Obama and the Democrats have handled every issue and emergency since taking power is proof that they are all frauds and liars. The birth certificate issue has the potential of being the poison pill that destroys any chance of not just winning the presidential election, but also losing any gains we made in 2010. This could be our last meaningful election and you want to piss it all away on a birth certificate that could exist and is just being used to lure you in for the kill.

No, you said the constitution “leaves it up to the party doing the nominating to make that determination”. Which Article and Section does that?

Disagree.....this has the potential of totally discrediting Obama, the MSM and the Democrats for decades.
