Donald Trump Strikes Back (He's making the right enemies, just like Sarah)
The New York Times ^ | April 8, 2011 | Gail Collins

Posted on 04/08/2011 10:34:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump has written a letter complaining about me.

“Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level,” he penned.

Although Trump and I have had our differences in the past, I never felt it was personal. In fact, until now, I have refrained from noting that I once got an aggrieved message from him in which he misspelled the word “too.”

But about the letter. Mainly, it’s a list of alleged evidence that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Trump has made this the centerpiece of his faux presidential campaign, falling further and further into the land of the lunatic fringe. I find this a disturbing spectacle — a little like seeing a guy you know from the neighborhood suddenly turn up in the middle of Times Square with his face painted blue and yelling about space aliens.

“Bill Ayers wrote ‘Dreams From My Father,’ I have no doubt about it,” Trump told Joe Scarborough, who reported on Politico.com.

Ayers is the former ’60s radical who became a huge Republican talking point in 2008 because he had once given a house party for Obama when he was running for state senate. It’s a pretty big jump from coffee and cookies to writing an entire book, but I guess that’s what neighbors are for....

Where has Obama been this whole time that Trump’s been talking about this? There’s been a battle over the budget and military action in Libya, and where has Obama been?

******

Obama has been conspicuously silent concerning Trump's open challenge to Obama that Obama produce his long form birth certificate for this reason:

Obama knows all too well that he dare not respond or attack Trump, or all hell will break loose, because once Obama or his staff starts attacking Trump by calling Trump names---like saying Trump is crazy to bring up this Obama birth certificate controversy---Obama will have to defend himself over and over again when the media asks Obama why he doesn't just release his long form birth certificate and be done with it, and, in the process, Obama could chase Trump back into the rotten hole that he came from.

1. Yes, Obama has to bite his lip and stay quiet as long as he can, because once he opens his mouth and starts criticizing and challenging Trump on the birth certificate issue, he knows that he will be in big trouble, trouble that will only grow worse as the 2012 presidential campaign goes deeper and deeper into 2012.

2. Again, Obama and his immediate staff dare not attack Trump any time soon, because if they do, they will give even more and greater publicity and legitimacy to Trump's almost religious search for Obama's long form birth certificate, a certificate that may not even exist.

3. All that Obama and his staff can do now is hope that the public will soon tire of seeing Trump all over the tv and that Trump will soon fade away and crawl back into the hole that he crawled out of.

4. Of course most of us here know that this Trump phenomenon will not go away anytime soon and that Trump will be demanding to see Obama's long form birth certificate for many more months to come, and Trump will no doubt constantly badger Obama to produce his long form birth certificate well into the 2012 presidential campaign season.

Go Donald!

Ms. Collins should do some checking of her sources. But that seems to be an outdated practice of current ‘journalists’.

We know that the Factcheck photos are frauds and fakes. And those frauds and fakes originated in Obama’s Chicago HQ. But she cites them as fact. Dr. Ron Poland has filed an affidavit to this effect. As has Ms. Sandra Lines, an registered forensic document analyst, backing up Poland’s analysis. So she cites that a source where the are sworn affidavits challenging them as fact. Hence the source is doubt - serious doubt.

Then she echoes the claim that the Grandmother corrected herself during the interview. Another lie, flat out lie by by the MSM and Cable Talking Heads. The translator for that interview has filed a legal, sworn affidavit that indicates - Grandma never changed her story! It was her sons that were trying to change it for her. Again, there is a sworn affidavit by the translator to that effect:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/18010847/Berg-v-Obama-Kweli-Shuhubia-Affidavit

From the affidavit:

“But during the conversation, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama never changed her reply that she was in deed present when Senator Barack Obama was born IN KENYA.”

So Ms. Collins is citing sources and claims that have unchallenged legal affidavits challenging them.

The NY Times standard are pitiful. NY Times does not even rise to the level of tabloid with this sort of ‘reporting’.

Since I was born, my family doctor kept a record of tests, visits, illness, etc. When he retired, the new young Doctor bought the practice and all of the medical files, for my parents and myself. The history has always been available for review.

Except for the stint overseas, where are 0bama’s medical records from birth to age 6, then from age 13 forward????

I believe that is Mr. Trump’s position-where are all the Doctors appointments, receipts for tests, shots and x-rays.
Before I left the public school system, I was given a record of all my vaccinations and reminded that I was on my own, going forward.

Yes.

It seems to me that he’s been absent from everything else as well.

Most enjoyably Nancy Pelosi and I believe Ried signed the document authenticating his eligability to run for the democratic nomination. Orange jumpsuits for all I say! For those who call this a racist witch hunt I say no Just fraud on a scale never seen before.

*****

Could someone please explain to me how Pelosi could authenticate Obama's eligibility to run for President without examining Obama's long form birth certificate?

Did she use Obama's passport to prove that Obama was eligible to run for president, or did she use some other legal document?

Butter, I am shocked, shocked I tell you about your professed cynicism in regard to that fine judicial body, the 9th Circuit. It being the only game scheduled for that week, I'll watch it for you. Of course, they can be counted on to do _________(fill in the blank). BTW, don't miss reading Orly's thrilling brief. It is an absolute milestone in American legal writing ... probably worthless in a court of law .... but dammit, 100% true!

lol.

I think I’ve aged 20 years in the past 2. My husband and I have traded places; I was the young, naive one who always thought there would be a happy ending and he was the realist who had suffered under enough bullies that he knew the system rarely works like it’s supposed to.

Now I’m the realist. In my heart, though, I still want to believe there can be happy endings. I wouldn’t keep fighting if I didn’t think there was at least a chance.

I still believe in a God of miracles. If He could make a donkey speak in olden days, then maybe pigs will fly today and the Ninth Circuit will actually do something right tomorrow. lol. Or maybe somebody like Trump will show up out of the woodwork. The odds are against us, but nothing is ever impossible.
