Republican strategist Karl Rove says President Barack Obama is taking delight in the fact that Donald Trump is pressing so hard for him to produce his birth certificate, “because that’s exactly what Obama wants conservatives to do.” Speaking to Sean Hannity Thursday on his radio show, Rove also questioned Trump’s conservative credentials.
Hannity started the interview by asking Rove why he was going after Trump.
“Well, I think Trump’s got a thin skin — I don’t think I’m going after Trump,” Rove said. “A guy who says that he doesn’t know what Ronald Reagan is hiding behind his smile, and calls George W. Bush an evil president, comes out for Canadian-style universal healthcare in his book, he calls for raising taxes on millionaires and the wealthy — I mean, not exactly a strong conservative.
“Well, look, I thought he had a shot if he came out as a successful businessman, and said I am worried about jobs, the economy, the deficit, debt, spending,” Rove continued. “But he came out and said: I think Obama was born in the United States [but] began review of his birth certificate — and then he became more paranoid and obsessive since then.
“Now he has sent his private investigators to Honolulu, and says he doesn’t think Obama was born in the United States of America — that’s exactly what Obama wants conservatives to do,” he added. “The constitutional requirement is that you have to be a United States citizen, and by implying, saying, suggesting Obama is not a United States citizen, he is suggesting he was born somewhere else.”

OMG the stupidity does not end.
Karl is simple proof the the RNC and te DNC are just two sides of the same coin. Trying to generate the same outcome that the corporate oligarchs have already preordained.

Now I know you're full of it Rove.

WTF does Rove know about “conservative credentials”?
Whistling past the cemetery.
When a man wins a POTUS election, some hack hired by him is declared a genius. Recall how barely Bush Jr won his two elections. But the hack is still considered a genius and made a zillionaire by the MSM. Go figure.
Rove needs to study up a little more.
Rove just insists on getting in a spittin contest with Donald. I guess he missed the Rosie O’Donnle ghetto beatdwon. Keep it up Karl you RINO loser.
Rove is playing dumb there.
He's not playing!
I fully expect that Trump has been the recipient of an Obama background file dump by the Clinton/Emanuel wing of the Democrat Party.
And I’m quite sure that Barry would rather Trump not publicize the contents of those files.
And if things go well, there will also be the check of a Republican majority in the Senate and on the Senate Judiciary Committee, plus strong recommendations and pressure from the Tea Party activists and other conservatives.
Rove has good reason to question Trump's conservative credentials, but the SAME can be said of himself.
Get lost Rove.
Touché.
F U Rove
“If it ends up Obama Vs. Trump, I would prefer justices Trump would appoint over Obama.”
Job#1 is to get rid of Obama. I fear that this country will not survive another 4 years of him. Whoever, and whatever that takes has to be done. We can figure out the rest later. You need someone strong who will fight back against him and get in his face. I don’t know what to think about Trump yet, but he is not afraid to break Barry’s nuts and that is what has to be done. I am going to cautiously give Trump a chance and see where it goes. I do not believe that the Romneys and Huckleberrys have a shot. They are too weak and will be eaten alive by the SRM and Barry’s minions. In a perfect world Sarah or Ms. Bachman would have a shot, but I fear they will have too much to overcome this time around. Again, obviously, it is imperative that no matter what Obama has to go. If he wins again we are really screwed!
Good point
