As a long time birther, I have to agree with Mark. Trump is using the issue to his advantage and to the advantage of the left, which Trump is clearly part of.
This is a scam, don’t fall for it.
The left is going to use this issue to smack us right in the face, we need to be smarter than this.
Mark is right when he says no court is gonna remove Obama.
I often tune into Leftist radio to see what the other side is saying - and you hit it dead on. They are excited about taking on Trump if he is nominated, and they are holding back all of what they have on him until after the nomination. And then look out. The bashing of Palin and Bush is nothing compared to what they plan for Trump. He won't stand a chance.
This will be a short lived relationship with Trump. His smash mouth to Obama has given us all a moral lift and we have rediscovered our adrenalin. There is some value in that. But long term...not so much. Trump is just too obvious. He’s in alright, only for The Donald—the contacts, the cameras and the financial gain. People are just polling away from Obama toward ANYBODY who can beat him. Trump might beat Obama but where would that leave us really?
While that may be the goal the some birthers, it is far from the standard by which to judge the political meaning of the birther issue.
One might say "no court is going to overturn Obamacare" and be 100% correct in that assessment. But that reality has NOTHING to do with the political meaning of mass opposition to Obamacare.
