Race card? You sir are almost as bad as Hellblazer. :rainfro:
ALL political Strategists, certainly republicans maybe even moreso, would have advised O not to stoop down to the level of drooling conspiracy retards and I am sure that is exactly the advice that got acted on back in 2008 until today.
Imagine if JFK had felt the need to prove the moon landing wasn't faked and released further proof that it was real just to shut up some retarded kooks back in the day. He'd look worse from the association, no doubt.
Obama looks a little worse today for the association, but not at all when you put things in perspective! Today it's a totally different country with a freaking 25% of the nation listening to conspiracy fruitcake propoganda from the likes of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh on Fox news.
Basically, any president today has to address these drooling zombies or their immense rumor mill will keep building the rumors like this birther crap.
O had to do it sooner or later; I don't blame him one bit.
Trump certainly looks worse today though to anyone with 1/2 an IQ point. He has just:
1. Associated with the lowest-IQ'd americans very publically
2. Proudly taken credit for something that smart people all feel is slimey and dishonest.
3. Spent money and resources on the failed investment of using a detective team to snoop around in Honolulu for the birth certificate... All to come up empty handed. What a failure.
If it wasn't obvious, I formally take back any good words I said about trump before. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see his style of presidency in a movie, but I wouldn't want my country to lose that much respect in the eyes of the rest of humanity.
Actually, him finally releasing his birth-certificate is a huge victory for Trump, and all Republicans for that matter.
Obama releases long-form birth certificate - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
Because it shows that he was using it this whole time as a political pawn. He could have easily released it at any time, but chose to hold it back. It was his way of playing the race card, without exposing his hand.
Exposing your critics as racists is not the same as playing the race card.
Regardless, all politicians are scum.
Most of those that wanted to see his birth-certificate could care less about his race.
The government is not a business and should not be run like one.
Trump is a joke. He's not a serious candidate.
LOL...
Are you serious w/ that? lol - No wonder we're in so much trouble.
I think it's safe to say Ron Paul and Don Trump would have told the banks where they can shove their held-out hats.Having a capitalist society and not letting capitalist rules/natural selection happen, i.e. bank bailouts, will devastate the system. If we would have let the banks/wall street fail on that one, we could have recovered in a few years. Now we're going to let the recovery limp along for 15 years.
Normally throughout American history you'd have a point... But look at the price of gold, and how the IMF said this week that China WILL be #1 within 5 years... America is finally going to be united on one issue in 2012: The Economy; everything else will be minor in comparison at the polls.Wait, so you vote for people based on whether they are going to make the country money? I doubt it. We consume 20 times what we produce, and until that changes, it won't matter who is in office.
Hopefully you meant Oprah... Peeps going to the Opera aren't really your average voter.We're always going to vote for the charismatic person who shows up on Opera.
And trump is at least as qualified as Obama was 4 years ago I figure making billions in decades of business is more qualified than 2 years as a senator most of which was spent campaigning for president.
However, someone who is as experienced with bankruptcy as Trump might be a good choice when we tell everyone to screw off instead of paying the national debt.
