President Obama releases his birth certificate which, unfortunately, did not shut Trump up. Trump could

not get elected dog catcher now, even though he has gone to the dogs, in a manner of speaking

      Donald Trump continues to race bate with his lies. NBC needs to fire him! Trump's bigoted words, are only causing more hatred, among those, who do not think for themselves or continue to lack a conscience. Trump perpetuates the long standing excuse, to discriminate against minorities. So email NBC if you want to stop this nonsense and hopefully one day, Trump will feel the same barbs he is spewing. Now he is questioning the President's college credentials. Trump needs to show his hair line and his grade point average. I bet daddy paid for a few of Donnie's A's and B's.

          Trump got it done when nobody else could. The President has never been held accountable. No longer will a ramble or slogan be acceptable.

              The United States stupidity on view to the World. No other elected President has had to prove he was an American, even Senator McCain was accepted with is grandfather clause in while he was born on Panama Canal. The Donald wont give his taxes because he will go to jail, so he keeps the attention on a none issue. Now the GOP is demanding Obama's school grades and college grades. Pat Bachanan and The Donald have announced Obama didn't earn his grades but was passed over because of Affirmative Action and Obama isn't educated enough to be President. These smoke screen will continue to the GOP will not have to work on creating jobs as they promised. Obama will have to continue to work on creating jobs by himself. With so many serious problems our country has the GOP candidates only want to attack Obama on none issues. With the help of the Media/Press this circus will continue. Now as for the possible candidates which clearly fix either insane, greed or working for the corporation take over. The Donald express with pride he would steal Libya's Oil and money, then stay in Iraq and take their Oil and charge Iraq for the cost the US taxpayers spent illegally invading Iraq. The World is watching Obama as he has to work alone and our elected House/Congress/Senate are controlled by Banks/Corporations.

              This is the same fear shown to Fredrick Douglas as many felt the bible saw whites were smarter then blacks and listed blacks as animals. Educated men rush to listen to Douglas speech and all talked to learn from each other but those with little to no education were in fear. Then came educated Dr. King who again put fear in the hearts of uneducated Americans. I remember during the Civil Rights Movement the TV showed live a young educated black man going to register to vote. A clerk give him the application and said you can't read. The young man read the application but the clerk herself didn't know how to read and the Mayor came out and said it didn't matter if this black man could read and write the law didn't allow blacks to vote. I asked my Dad how can a woman hold a job who can't read herself deny a man who can read. At the time I was young and full of questions and because I loved World history and American history I told my Dad this. The first mistake America made was teaching Slaves how to read English. If slave had not been taught they would have been kept in control and accepted their position. The years of confusion and questions only to see those days return with people today who seem to be just as stupid as those in the 50's. Thank goodness there aren't that many today. I wish the Media/Press would. get back to just reporting the news and not the entertainment/comedy of our government. To have a President have to spend time on a birth certificate issue shows the World the President is working with elected law makers and candidates that are as DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS

                The only thing that will shut Trump up is the threat of a new haircut. America is more than a business, he'll find that out the hard way if he runs for president.

                  Really? My son is a US Marine currently in Afghanistan. There are more important issues at hand right now.

                    I would like to know why President Obama did not take the oath of office using his legal name, as issued on his birth certificate. If you look and listen to his public words, he actually took the oath as his father, not himself.....this is an issue that gets court cases thrown out for not being the correct person.....even both George's stated their entire names.

                         Does anybody or the media stop to ask the question:  Why did Obama make this such an issue by not releasing his birth certificate?  Was all of this wrangling, politics, and deviciveness necessary by a man that says he is for bipartisanship, transparency, and wanting to bring the Americans together after the Bush years?  Please, for a moment, think about it...

                          I am sure former President George W. Bush will be blamed for it.
