no it isn't. the facts of obama's birth were confirmed by the HI department of health in october 2008. all valid questions to obama's birth ended there. since then birtherism has been fueled by falsehoods, internet myths and the incompetent comedy of sheriff joe arpaio's "cold case posse".

Regardless of whether you believe he was born here, regular people can produce their birth certificate in less than one business day and wouldn't need months on end to do so.
he released his certificate of live birth in june 2008. that's exactly what you'd receive "in less than one business day" if you were born in HI.

So it was a poorly handled situation and rightly spawned a group of people who didn't trust the doublespeak.
exactly what doublespeak?

I just wonder if any one had the same experience...I have a very heightened sense of premonition, and I am not sure if it was one of those times. Here's hoping!

I actually do consider the Marchioness Trump to be a 'politician'. He is, after all, running for political office.

Now, he is not a 'career' politician.

Anyway, should the Marchioness win the presidency (and I still plan on voting for him), I suspect he will have some difficulties in dealing with Congress and the state governors. However, he will surely have more of a 'political honeymoon' than President Obama had (who had, well, none).

I also still think that, if elected, the Marchioness will resign after two years. Hence my speculation in early October that he will chose Rafael Edward Cruz (born in Canada) to be his Vice President. Of course, if Rafael Edward Cruz is selected by the Marchioness, I may have to vote Hillary Rodham Clinton, much as I do not trust her. However, I actually trust her a little more than Rafael Edward Cruz, whom I believe to be a demagogue in the worse sense of the word.

I can't vote Trump nor Hillary. If the two I have to vote Hillary it'll hurt for a few year's.

So how much experience talking should be required to be POTUS ? I think it was 35 years as required in the Constitution.

So if someone is about 70 y/o they are more than qualified with twice the experience required.
Maybe they are over qualified and I'm sure they would be told that if they were seeking private employment.

Remember the Supreme Court also legislates these days.
