It's official: Donald Trump is a "birther." But he'd prefer you don't use that term.
Speaking to MSNBC Thursday, the business mogul and improbable presidential candidate reiterated much of what he has said in the last several days when it comes to doubting President Obama's birthplace, declaring, "I am embracing the issue, and I'm proud of the issue. I think somebody has to embrace it."

No doubt Trump has a pack of experts on retainer for just such an event.
Bill O’Reilly, on the other hand, howled like a hound when Bubba’s IRS went after him year after year.
But Trump won’t be fazed.
Requirement 4: That they be 14 years a resident of the United States.
Or maybe they can pin down that Pakistani dude who bikes around the Columbia area and is reportedly a homo and was very, very close to Zer0 back When.
Words can’t describe how great this is. It’s like the story of the emperor and his invisible new suit where everybody was afraid to say anything until finally some little kid shouts out “GEEZ, would you look at that, the emperor’s walking down the street butt naked with his *** and his **** showing!!!”
There you go...the Punk has Soros; we have Trump and the Koch Brothers.
Hey, whatever it takes Donald! I love this guy more and more everyday.
You are right.
How do people like Gergen and Dick Morris look in the mirror after having worked for both sides? No loyalties.
PS: I’m starting starting to like the idea of a Palin/Trump ticket. Social issues at the top and fiscal matters with the veep.
You betcha ;-)
Trump for President.
He is the ONLY Republican who might run for President with stones located where they are supposed to be in a man’s body.
In the immortal words of one Billy Martin, “Don’t try to con a conman.”
It is indeed the greatest scam ever, with the FBI, CIA, NSA, SCOTHUS assisting, if responsible people would do ther job insteading of ducking, this this matter would have been settled a long time ago.
Very true, and in my my humble opinion, he makes an alpha male like Dick Cheney look like a piker.
If he’s audited and I’ll bet he has been in the past, he’ll again be on every talk show screaming about it. He won’t take it lying down, that’s for sure.
I understand the issue. I also understand why it has been done this way - and that it has worked for over 200 hundred years. I have always felt a little cheated, though. I had an interest in politics from a young age and have considered running for lesser offices with far less strict requirements. Finally, I realized I wouldn’t last long in the political world as I have tolerance for BS and don’t play games well at all.
My understanding of John McCain’s situation was the laws at the time recognized his birth as “natural born”. It surprised me as I thought his situation was similar to mine. Isn’t it interesting that there were two candidates of questionable eligibility running for POTUS at the same time? And they say there are NO conspiracies? Ya, right.
Don’t worry about Rove.
In this next cycle he is going to get whooped like a red-haired stepchild...and the rest of his RINO buddies with him.
I don’t see it that way. Sorry.
Trump could win.
He has a TV show.
Idiots know him.
Trump has gotten where he is by being a streetfighter. Republicans are not streetfighters. That is why they get cowed and why Trump gets the attention.
One wants them to watch and learn.
If Trump can bring down Obama, he'll not only get my vote, he'll get my enthusiastic support for his campaign.
Frankly, if he keeps this up much longer, I am going to print my own sign saying...
"TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT"and stick it in the front yard for passing motorists to see.
“think Obama may have thought that America would rally to the president if we were engaged in a war”
Scott Rasmusseb exploded that notion this morning, when everyone included in his daily poll was contacted after the Libya speech: NO MOVEMENT. In fact, a very small dropoff.
