Trump knows how to work the liberal media. I do not favor trump for Pres. I do understand he has skills that can take Obama down 10 notches.

What if the Big O doesn't have the original document? His mother moved him literally around the globe when he was young. It is reasonable that the original document may have been lost. In that case, the document that he has provided is issued by the state or county where he was born as proof of his citizenship and such.

This document is accepted by the United States State Department for the issuance of passports to American citizens. I used my own "Document of Live Birth" to get a passport because frankly, it would have been silly to send them my original birth certificate.

I don't favor him either, but dear Lord in heaven....I'll vote for him before I will Obama! I did hear him say he was pro-life, whether he was just being politically expedient or not, I can't say.

I think at least, he won't be beholding to any special interests, he has enough of his own money to campaign on. But, who knows at this point.

Those are valid points. Do you know why he's spent 2 million dollars to keep this at bay?
I really am vasilating at this point on what to believe. But, I'm going to keep researching and keep an open mind.

I think Trump's use of this "issue" is cynical and I hope he wises up. I wish those who are still enraptured by the "Birther" debate would wise up.

We need all of you with clear heads and thinking clearly. There is a tough fight ahead. It is a battle of ideas. Get an education and think more practically and logically. The "Birther" thing was a nice sideshow 3 years ago. Today, you're an embarrassment.

Why do you think he's "spent $2 million dollars to keep this at bay?"

His campaign released this document one year before the election. It's available to anyone who cared to look.

Well, calling people names who have a sincere belief (or questions) probably isn't going to make it any better.

I think we can have clear heads and still wonder about a few other things at the same time. However, I've always thought his associations were far more telling and important. Yet that didn't/doesn't seem to matter either.

So, you don't know why he spent the 2 mil? There must be some reason. I haven't looked into too much until the last few days.
