its pennies really and believe me he gets more for the effort than he is hurt by this.

the right some really normal not so radical right want to know the truth. He gets to paint them as wackjobs and racists.

those who have willingness to vote for him see this as a stupid attack on him.

"birthers are crazy" and all that.

this guy is really smart at the politics of division. It is the soul of what makes him who he is. It is where he came from.

Not that I necessarily agree, but I can understand your explanation and admit that it is possible.

Re: Donald Trump Calls for Obama Birth Certificate

Ferd, what do you think of my argument that even without a long form BC that he would still be able to run for president?

He has also stated people are contacting him to stay on this and not to let up. Now, if that was the case, then he would have to have something really concrete to stay the course. Or have confidence in who is telling him to stay the course. Otherwise, everything is just circumstantial evidence.

I think Donald is usually full of himself, but I think he's too intelligent to be a fool in that way.

If Obama produced the evidence, he would just sit back and say - "Well, I did what I set out to do, force his hand", and then he would move on to some other venture.

However, if this is true - I want to know who set him up. Obama is the puppet of some scheme or it wouldn't have happened at all. It would have to be mighty powerful people to engineer such a thing.

I would have agreed with you last year, but this issue seems to be gaining some traction.

One thing that struck me as strange is when the Director of Health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, said that she had "personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

She didn't ever say that she had seen the actual certificate, but that she has seen it was on record.

It being on record is as good as having the real thing... well almost... it's absence certainly isn't enough to say he wasn't born in Hawaii or to not allow him to run for president. (Which kind of makes me wonder what the birthers think they will gain by showing his long form isn't there)?
