Every day it’s like a really bad reality tv show in D.C.

The apprentice meets the Kardashian’s meets big brother meets survivor...

I bet a lot of people are just sitting back with their popcorn and enjoying the shit show.

In spite of having a horrible President in the Whitehouse, the economy is booming, ISIS is in tatters, North Korea just offered to get rid of its nukes, consumer confidence is at a multi-decade high, and the Presidential approval rating is higher than at this time in Obama’s presidency. It’s the most incredible coincidence. Imagine how much better it would be with Hillary as President.

@skibum609,

You know, you made a valid point but then you ruined it by saying something totally batshit crazy. Obama did indeed have more 9-0 Supreme Court decisions against him than any other president that I know of... but he was still born in America. We've had plenty of awful presidents through the centuries - Do you believe that they were all foreign-born, too?

That's why we call 'em @SkiBirther.

I think you have to give Trump credit for getting N. Korea to express an interest in backing down. Trump doesn't succeed based on being a master chess-player; rather Jong-Un sees a U.S. leader who's as childlike, nutty, and dangerous as he is.

Anyone who was born in the United States, particularly one who was born in a hospital that is still up and running can get certified copies of their birth records. Well, everyone except Obama, because he wasn't born in Hawaii. Simple HIPPA compliant release would solve the question, but why execute a release and prove yourself to be a fraud. I mean doesn't Barrack Hussein Obama sound like a native born????? I don't support Trump, except his crushing of the dirty, rat illegals. Those who hate him are progressives and like the rest of the flotsam end jetsam on earth and find nothing in common with them so I oppose them, rather than support Trump. The idea these useless progressives, with their hate filled, rage infected comments, do anything other than make me laugh is as inne as thinking a relationship with a dancer is real.

@mark94- the economy was already booming toward the end of Obama’s presidency, but yes the economy is getting better and better now.

I had heard that Trump’s approval rating was the worst in history through a president’s first year. Maybe that was fake news?

@skibum609,

So you're saying that you don't believe the birth certificate that he released in 2011 was real? Why not?

25 I would say no you and I differ, but I have respect for you, so you could not be a moron. BURLINGTON - Hawaii had a county system of recording births when Obama was born. Different rules for each area. When Hawaii went to a statewide registry all the original birth certificates were destroyed and replaced by certificates of live birth. How did he get an original? Add that to the Kenyan birth certificate for him making the rounds, the fact Kenya didn't exist until 1963 and his refusal to release his birth records and I choose to not believe him. I understand he won't release his Ivy league grades/transcripts not because of his grades, but because he applied as a foreign exchange student. McCain had to prove his eligibility, having been born in the canal zone, so why not Obama. I was born in 1957. The hospital where I was born became a dorm at Cornell in 1960. It took me 2 phone calls to locate mine. His would be there if he were born there......

My mother in law was born in the early part of the 20th century on a farm in a rural area. She has a baptismal certificate that finally was recorded over a year after she was born. It caused many problems when she passed in 2006.
My dad was born in 1924 the first of his family to be born in a hospital. The hospital closed in the 1950s, fortunately his military records were up to date, else we would have had the same problems when he passed two years ago. There are all kinds of reasons why people have records problems you being a lawyer must have encountered some in your career. Saying Obama was not born in this country is ridiculous, even John McCain knew it.

@skibum609,

Well, I'm not an expert but it just seems so outlandish to me. If the whole thing is a conspiracy, it would require a lot of people to keep a secret. And the government can't seem to keep anything a secret. They couldn't even keep it a secret when a bunch of clowns broke into a psychiatrist's office and the Watergate Hotel! But you're talking about an international conspiracy spanning decades. One would think at least one of Obama's opponents (or maybe Fox News) would have uncovered the truth by now - it would be quite a scandal.

Regardless, personally, I don't think one should be required to be born in the USA to be President anyway. It's a silly rule. Thomas Paine would have made a fine president. Dinesh D'Souza, Charles Cooke, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Mark Steyn, Daniel Hannan, and Yaron Brook were all born overseas and I would gladly vote for any of them over most American politicians. Ayn Rand was born in Russia, but she would have had my vote, too, despite her flaws. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger would have made a better president than most.

Mark93 lives in his Fox News bubble and filters out anything he doesn't want to hear. Nate Silver is one if the finest journalists out there, using the most up to date statistical methods to track Trumps approval ratings. All Silver cares about is getting the math done correctly. Trump's the most unpopular president in modern history :

It's pretty clear that Trump is getting more popular (or at less unpopular). But still, his average approval rating has been much lower than the average president so far. And honestly, it shouldn't matter what his approval rating is. That's just another example of the debasing of public discourse brought about by popular democracy and universal suffrage. After all, Obama left office with very high approval numbers, but I still thought he was awful.

Skibum609 - didn’t you answer your own question?

Lots of folks hate politicians who accomplish actual change much more than politicians who simply occupy an office and do nothing.

Or were you being facetious?
