Why else did he not just trust the process that in order to even become a candidate for presidency, you need proof to be born in the U.S.? I could never become a U.S. presidential candidate even if I had a Ph.D. issued by God himself because my birth certificate shows I was born in Russia. Don't you think they notice that kind of thing before putting all that money into a campaign? I'm even willing to say that it wasn't all about race but I certainly think the fact he is not white and the fact he has a Muslim name and a last name that resembles Osama played into it somewhat. That stuff eats at people subconsciously and makes them second-guess and question things they would normally just trust.

Somebody needs to let Trump know that the United States of America isn't "The Apprentice". Obama's BC doesn't need his official approval and neither does Obama. This idea that he's going to tell us if Obama's BC is legit is absurd.

Looks like Trump is the new Palin. A popular topic of discussion. He annoys the left and the right blindly defends him. What a joke.

Your screename is an anomaly. I don't know anybody on the right who "blindly defends" Trump. We know he's a joke candidate .....unlike MSNBC who take him so seriously that half their programming is dedicated to birtherism.

That is irrelevant to these people, and by you pointing that out, you have officially played the "race card". What these idiots don't understand is that ambiguity doesn't last forever, and that people's true colors and hidden agendas will seep through eventually.

When Pat Buchanan decries those who play the "race card" while insisting that Judge Sotomayor was appointed to her position because of her race, insists that minorities have had no role in building America, and questions the audacity of Mr. Obama aspiring to office ("how dare this boy..."), the intentions are clear. When those who decry big government are also living off of government checks, subsidies, etc, the intentions are clear. When those who say that they don't care about race are the same who go on to spew neo-fascist rhetoric, then intentions are clear. If calling out fringe elements of the conservative movement is considered playing the "race card", then by all means I am playing the race card. What a world we would be li

I call BS on that. Why was there such an outcry for this guy's birth certificate in the first place, and none of the other 100 or so white guys (major candidates) who ran for President before him?

Yep. There's lots of harm in showing it.

And you didn't vote against Kerry. You voted FOR Bush. Twice. So in the end, you're no different than i am.
