People don’t believe that Donald Trump’s hair is real, much less that his presidential candidacy is real. But Trump today scored a victory in his bid for credibility when President Barack Obama released his long form birth certificate in an attempt to reaffirm that he was born in the USA.
Trump had brought this issue back into the media, embarrassing the Republican establishment. A Gallup poll showed about a quarter of Americans believed that the President was “definitely” or “probably” born in another country. Obama did not mention Trump by name, but he did say, "We do not have time for this kind of silliness." Silliness - that’s The Donald in one word, but far from unique.
Obama tried again. He went on to say that Americans would not be able to solve pressing problems "if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.”.
Carnival barker! That’s The Donald in two words. Brilliantly succinct.
In a New Hampshire press conference, Trump rushed to take credit for the release of the birth certificate, as he should. He told the press, “I’m very proud of myself because I've accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish."
Obama has in one fell swoop elevated a buffoon to the status of a real contender, complicating the Republicans' attempt to take the Presidency next year. If Trump were to compete with Obama next year, Obama would easily win.
The birth certificate release won’t stop Trump from pursuing his complaints about Obama’s education. I'll post on that once I have the guts for explaining Trump's darker side. The mainstream media tends to avoid this bitching about Barry's education as it is downright unpleasant.
Back to something lighter. Trump had semi-promised George Stephanopoulos (ABC, Good Morning America) that he would now release his tax returns once Obama had released his birth certificate.

Sure, sure – there’s a better chance of Al Gore being elected President.
Now, can we have proof that The Donald’s hair was born in this country?
