I have spent the past few years predicting economic Armageddon on TV and radio shows across America. I have predicted the collapse of the dollar, the decline of the economy, the dangers of the debt and the Fed, and the incredible rise of gold and silver.
All these predictions have been on the money while the liberal media have scoffed. Monday's downgrade of the U.S. economy by Standard & Poors should be a wake-up call to everyone, even the media. America is in deep trouble. Economic Armageddon is fast approaching.
This brings up two important questions. Why are the media blind to the economic disaster befalling America? And, what does this have to do with Donald Trump and the place of Obamas birth?
The answer to the first question is the national media are populated by Ivy League elites extremely biased leftists who drink the socialist-flavored Kool-Aid. Few have ever started a business, made a payroll, or created a job. They know nothing about economics, or what is happening to small business owners on Main Street.
The answer to the second question has everything to do with the media's dislike, denigration, and lack of understanding about the meteoric rise of Donald Trumps presidential prospects. They look down upon businessmen such as Trump. The reality is they are jealous of his success and chutzpah.
Obama the community organizer is more their kind of guy. The liberal media elites who idolize Obama are angry when Trump questions where Obama was born. They consider this kind of question a joke.
But the Donald is a businessman. He knows what his customer wants, and he is giving it to them. Donald Trump is interested in being hired....

In the immortal words of Spock They are unable to respond, or they are unwilling to respond...
We are actually close to the delicious moment where the coverup is worse than the actual crime. Indeed, it no longer even mtters what is on the birth certificate, the question i why the president would not order everything relesed.
This country is being run by people who know nothing about actually running anything. To top it off, they’ve all been told, and believe, that they are more qualified than anyone to make the decisions to run everyone’s lives.
If people actually figured out this b.s. then the value of an Ivy League education would deflate like a popped balloon.
Or it is a good political move...
“Indeed. My take is that he cannot.”
It’s only recently that the administration and the place-holder have been really addressing the issue, albeit obliquely and dismissively. This would indicate that the brushing it under the rug tactic and stigmatizing the questioner tactic are no longer working. In short, I tend to agree with your take on it.
It was a problem easily solved for the administration, and though I don’t know what’s on the actual certificate better than anyone here, I think allegations it’s a ‘rope a dope’ might be filed with belief that glasnost and perestroika were just tricks to get our guard down. They would have used it by now, played their winning hand, if it were that, I think.
Why do I think that? Because Obama behaves suspiciously. Because he hires armies of lawyers to keep his records sealed. I also believe all Americans have a right to ask the question of the man who commands our army and our economy.
Ironically, the more Obama refuses to produce the proof, and the more millions of dollars he spends on legal maneuvering to hide that proof, the more concerned Americans become. Obama is the one stoking the fire, not Trump.
These guys are funny. First they say "I'm not a birther" then they make several statements that only a birther would ask. LMAO
Wayne Allen Root, you are a birther now.
He can’t.
Ah sir, you have finally figured out politicians and their ivy league cohorts! Yes, these politicians are nothing if not nefarious and lairs at heart - that is why they are politicians.
If the United States ever has a chance of becoming great again, it will have to digress itself of the politicians of today. We need statesmen, not politicians. The two are NOT interchangeable.
Unfortunately, I have seen few if any statesmen willing to put up with the antics of today’s political grind.
So... are we doomed to selfish and worldly politicians to lead us... unfortunately that is the case... Either get use to it or run yourself.
I’d say today that we are doomed to political failure.
The “rope-a-dope” theory is preposterous.
Obama was sealing up all his documents long before there were any birthers. He didn’t seal them up in preparation for springing them on the birthers and “making them look foolish.”
That theory was concocted by those who will believe anything in order to avoid believing something the MSM tell them is not respectable.
a corollary to this is that if he shows a BC with all the same data that is running around on the photo-shopped colb floating around on the net, then that BC is a forgery, because there is absolutely no reason on this planet it would not have been shown from the beginning.
Ahh, I am a she... :-)

I agree. I’ve seen it a bit on here though, for a while in most threads dealing with issues around his birth. It was usually put forth when voicing agreement with Fox and Republican or RINO distance from those asking the question, and usually associated with calling the questioner a time-waster or fringe-dweller and implying that they’re the dope. I’ve heard it less since Trump began bringing it up, but it’s still put around.
I used to buy what some Freepers have been saying about the ‘rope a dope’ theory. Then again, how can anyone explain executive order 13489 on the day he was sworn into office?
So sorry... I do tend to use the generic he when I shouldn’t. Maybe too old to change...

That’s an important corollary.
If they finally show the actual certificate, and it is the same information, then the question to them is, why did we have to go through all this for you to finally do this simple thing? And there will be some on their side who were such true-believers in defending their choice as one of principle to that point who will think they’ve caved in the end, again wondering for what purpose.
If they are compelled finally to show the actual certificate, and again, it’s the same information of the COLB, the question is, for what reason then was all of this necessary; why was at least one man in military prison all this time when this was all that had to be done?
If they are compelled finally and it’s different information, they are potentially the most fraudulent people in recent American history. And it gets interesting from there, depending what on it was to remain hidden. No one could ever take anyone associated with them seriously again, after all they did to portray questioners the way they have.
Google “Obama executive orders”, and number 1, on the day after he was sworn in, was the sealing of all his records. That was before Gitmo closing or anything else. Hillary is probably one of the few that knows everything and she is Sec of State. If Biden retires and Hilary takes his place, you will know. Then Arkancide is close by. Who’s gonna know?
I agree. If he pulls out a legit LFBC now it makes it look like he has been playing adolescent head games on the whole country. The question "why didn't you do this long ago?" will loom bigger than the question "why not show it?" does now.
If what Obama says is untrue why does Obama spend so much money to hide it? Why do his surrogates get so defnsive?
