Bingo - The media’s curiosity about the background of those running for national office seemed to know no bounds when it came to George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard or the sexual behavior of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter. But during and since the 2008 campaign a virtual wall of silence has been constructed around Obama.

Someone posted on an earlier thread that this may all be The Donald’s egotistical attempt of making a permanenet name for himself in American history by being the person who brought down a fraudulent and illegal administration.

I can see some sense in that given The Donald’s ego. But I suspect that somewhere in the past The One did something to personally injure or offend The Donald’s interests because this seems personal (remember Ross Perot had a massive axe to grind with Bush 41 because he wouldn;t allow him to travel overseas to negotiate for POWs/MIAs which really hirt Ross’s tender ego).

Excellent comments at source. This one for example...

"is a testament not to the insanity of the "birthers," but to Obama's penchant for secrecy"

Ridiculous. It is a "testament" to Obama's "penchant" for not wanting to be exposed. Virtually no one wants secrecy just for the sake of secrecy. Secrecy is almost never an end in itself. At this point only a complete fool would accept as a given that Obama was even born in the U.S.

A line from the article:

( * Gail Collins, the New York Times's most reliably uninteresting liberal attack dog, questioned Trump's sanity just for raising the birth certificate issue. * )

[faucetman]

“Even Trump admits that the evidence strongly suggests Obama was born in Hawaii and is an American citizen”

Get up to speed buddy. He said that for the first week, it's not his belief anymore.

"I think that by not releasing it [the full birth certificate], it makes people much more passionately opposed to the president. Moreover, for a president who was elected on the basis of his personal background, it is troubling that Obama himself would want to withhold such basic information."

"what do you think Holmes?"

"elementary my dear Watson....he's hiding something"

[Portcall24]

So what purpose does it serve to spend the first paragraph attacking Trump? Spending lots of time looking for the perfect candidate is insane. Trump appears to know how to manage people and projects. He appears to know how to cut through the BS and get to the issue. He’s lived close to the edge in the past with respect to over-extending himself but has come back and his personal life isn’t something to point to with pride. But he does get things done.

Isn't this a oxymoron ?

( * We face a conundrum: If the Republicans who took the House Majority and strengthened their position greatly in the Senate don't make the economy better, it will turn off millions of Independent voters who were desperate to stop the headlong dash to disaster. But if the economy does pick up, millions of Independents may conclude that Obama is not so bad after all. * )

So the independents will be " turned off " if the Republicans don't improve the economy ( even though ? it was many of those very same Independents who voted for Obama ) and who were desperate to stop the headlong dash disaster ( once again, it was many of these very same " Independents " who voted for Obama ) and if the economy does pick up ? yeah, that's the ticket, these " Independents " will vote for Obama again anyway....
but, of course ?
They will be turned off by the likes of Sarah Palin and Donald Trump.... yeah, the Independents are the virtuous ones.

Trump's agent is Rahm Emmanuel's brother and apparently the marginalizing of Rahm by Jarrett/Obama was quite irritating, don't think Rahm left the WH very happy.

That quote was from the first comment on the article at the American Thinker site.

Doe anyone know if this is correct?

Is it necessary to bash Trump to demonstrate MSM bias in favor of Obama?
