Sez, "Doc, still got the big headache. I go to sleep with it every night and wake up with it every morning. Nothing gets rid of it. Not aspirin, not ibuprofen, not Tylenol, not even a high colonic every day for a month.

Doctor holds up an inkblot and ask what Bo Tai sees. Bo Tai sez, "Trump."

Doctor holds up another inkblot. Bo Tai again sez, "Trump." And another, and another, and another, all to which Bo Tai sez, "Trump."

Doctor writes in his notes: Bo Tai is over his Palin fixation. Still suffers from pre-2009-Obama syndrome though. Damn. Thought the high colonics would work.

Kona where is your brain every word out of this phony is a lie, every word. He's a bigot, a racist, a very poor business man check his record. He lies about not going bankrupt, 4 times. He lied about sending investigators to Hawaii, a bold face lie, he's a bully not letting any interview express one word. He thinks he can talk the opec into doing the right thing, can't any more stupid than that. A hypocrite who buys all his stuff including his line of clothes from China and lies about it. Wow, when you say he doesn't lie, it's because you don't listen with an intelligent open mind.

Give us all a break. Donald Trump likes to talk. Mostly about himself.

Politicians are supposed to be public servants (not that many are). Donald Trump is self-serving.

Why would he want all that aggravation of the presidency for a pittance of a salary? He already is successfully occupied with his Trump properties. He already has the notoriety of a national TV show. He likes to be seen and to talk. That's why he says his hat is in the ring.

What public offices has be held before? None. Has he cheated on his wife? Yes

Has he done a one eighty on abortion issues? Yes. Has been one of those crazy "birthers". Yes. Is he maligning the President on past academic performance history based on race? I think so.

He just may say what he thinks or he may be saying what he's been told. In any case, much of what he says about political issues is a joke.

I really don't think he's a serious candidate for the Republican Party, but I'd love to see him run as an independent and assure a Democratic victory.

ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE ISSUE

Though not necessary, it is wise that the President finally put his critics (including Republicans who thought they could profit from this nonsense) to shame by releasing his long form birth certificate. In history, TRUMPISM will have about the same smell of blinding extremism as McCarthyism. Obama has always handled himself with grace and calm in very difficult circumstances. His attitude on this matter reminds me of Rudyand Kipling's immortal poem "If," which I take the liberty to bring to everyone's attention, as follows:

"If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise"

Let the merchants of hate be ashamed!

Trump will not be man enough to admit his foolishness and apologize to the President on his meaningless foray into the realm of conspiracy theory. His statements about Obama were assertive, accusatory, declaratory, and FALSE. He will surely find another falsehood to peddle and stroke. In the mean time, the whole basis of his candidacy is now demolished. I don’t care about him any more, and I don’t watch him any more! What can you learn from a gutter sniper?

Trump speaks using straight forward language about real serious problems this country has. How about he says truth about obama's "presidency" Isn't this enough for him to win with barry? Are there enough people with common sense? Do we really need more of bama? Do we need another republican like bush? How about a guy who is not a "professional" politician? No one is perfect, Trump definitely isn't. However, his bald statements appeal to me much more than rounded, politically correct words from (for example) a professional politician like Romney. He sounds so good...so nice...anotherr bs-er like beloved Billy Clinton. BTW: Do people fascinated with "nice guy" Bill Clinton, realize that crisis during Bush presidency was largely caused by Clinton's adminstration? Economy of a country like US doesn't turn around fast. Like a big ocean liner it takes long time to change direction. What obama is doing now, will affect us long after he is gone. Choice is yours...

I will vote for ANYONE on the conservative side, of whom most likely, will win the 2012 POTUS election.

...the dark side is throw-out burnt toast, big time!

I don't think Robert Schlesinger has looked at the Newsmax Poll!

Government is still investigating barry's campaign contributions from his first run for Presidency. If they don't stop declaring illegal contributions, barry won't have a $$$ billion to run for 2nd term....
