People disagree.

In fact, I think we all just know different things.

No one is REALLY smarter than someone eles.

Of course, what some know has more value.

Why call names???

Do you feel better about yourself??
Psychologists postulate that people who belittle others are in fact doing it to build up their own damaged egos so as to reinforce their false feeling(s) of superiority to overcompensate for their own feelings low self esteem. Such is life..

Why does everyone credit Trump for this?

If anything, this makes Trump (and the Birthers) look like idiots for questioning Obama's birth in the first place.

This makes Obama look better, even though those of us who are sane realized he was American to begin with.

Remember, everything a politician does is about political strategy. If you really believe that his release was done due to media pressure, Trump, or anything else, that is quite naive. Additionally, if you believe that the concerns of Republicans about Obama's policies are no longer valid due to this release, you are equally naive.

This is about politics and deflection and nothing more. Try to get above the sensationalism and actually remember that we have very real concerns in this country right now and make a determination of if Obama is actually doing anything to help or hurt us during this time.

True enough.

While we are watching the shiny penny, the other hand (Bernake) is giving the Fed's first press conference with the bond market closing ahead of the scheduled meeting. Let's see what else is in the hat today.

Hence Obama's timing.

This is a kick in the nuts to World Nut Daily.

I said two years ago that he should hang onto it until it was to his advantage to release it.

How was Donald wrong? He simply wanted Obama to show his birth certificate. That is what Obama did. Makes Donald look strong and makes Obama look like a puppet on a string. LMAO!
