Always strive to learn something useful. --Sophocles

I just can't believe people are still pursuing this. But the worst part is the paragraph talking about RNC candidates courting his support. Then again, that could be an excellent barometer: if Arpaio supports someone, good reason to vote against them.

"Our current president came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. In fact, I'll go a step further. The people that went to school with him, they never saw him; they don't know who he is. It's crazy."
— Donald Trump

"Look, I didn't say that...If he was three years old or two years old or one year old and people remember him, that's irrelevant."
— Donald Trump, after CNN played him documentary clips of Hawaiians reminiscing about the schoolchild Obama

ROFLMAO! He really needs to give up this line. And will politicians, in general, ever learn that if they knowingly lie or speak falsely that it can be discovered almost instantly and rebroadcast all over the blogsphere for which we shall ridicule them?

"I appreciate that the Donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans... He's not just throwing stones from the sidelines, he's digging in. He's paying for researchers to find out why President Obama would have spent $2 million not to show his birth certificate, so more power to him."
— Sarah Palin, furthering the discredited "birther" controversy

LOL! My problem against Trump being prez is that he is demonstrated a failed businessman (who can drive a casino in to bankruptcy?), but so was Dubya.

"I'm just asking President Obama to show the public his birth certificate. Why's he making an issue out of this?"
— Donald Trump

I guess he's had his head in the sand for the last 3 or so years? It's nice to see that the Birthers have a new rallying point.

For The Donald's edification (would that be his Secret Service code name if he were elected?), here's a Snopes link for him to peruse.

The last paragraph of one such link had some very interesting content:

"In August 2008, Philadelphia attorney Philip Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court challenging Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency on the grounds that Obama was actually born in Kenya (not Hawaii) and/or subsequently gave up his U.S. citizenship and thus does not qualify as a native-born citizen of the U.S. Lawsuits over candidates' eligibility are not uncommon: similar lawsuits (none of them successful), for example, have been filed challenging the citizenship status of John McCain (who was born in the Panama Canal Zone), challenging the Wyoming residency status of Dick Cheney (who was born in Wyoming but moved to Texas), and challenging the citizenship status of 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater (who was born in Arizona before that territory was admitted as a state)."
