With polls showing significant interest in Donald Trump as a Presidential candidate I find myself asking why? Name recognition is obvious. He is host to the most popular show on NBC. He is a remarkable businessman who has made millions of dollars through his own intellect and business acumen. Perhaps, most importantly are his balls. Whose size can only be compared to those of Ann Barnhardt, the cultural icon willing to give Lindsay Graham and General Petraeus one each, which would of course still leave her with two.
The "birther" issue is fascinating. Why would Trump continue to push the issue. Sure he is looking for publicity and much like the President, he is amazingly egocentric, and this gives him a ton of publicity. Really, who else could do interviews with NBC, CBS, and ABC, raise this issue and not be laughed off the set. Whether he really questions Obama's citizenship known only to Trump, but getting some sort of closure on this issue is a must for any republican candidate in the coming election. Now it hangs like an albatross around the necks of conservatives in general and Tea partier's specifically.
Either the President doesn't have a birth certificate and can't produce one or is intentionally hiding it because it reveals something politically damaging or he is playing the republican party like a violin, intentionally withholding this document to allow the media to castigate their political opponents as conspiracy theorists. I always thought, in spite of political differences, that the President is very smart and as such expected that this was a charade to be used for electoral advantage. After two years though I not nearly so sure of that of his great intellect. I actually suspect he is rather dense, which in turn makes me rethink this whole issue.
