Trump Calling Obama's Bluff Proves He is Obama's 'Worst Enemy'

Posted: April 27, 2011, 1:07AM

Whatever anyone thinks of Trump and the birth certificate issue - like it or not, like Trump or not - what Trump has done is something very simple.

He presents a very simple question: If Obama has nothing to hide then why is he hiding everything? It's that simple. Presidents don't get away with this. Especially Obama who ran on transparency.

We vet our presidents and they don't get away with hiding anything. Obama played the birth certificate issue out as long as he could knowing most people, primarily the Republican Party, would be concerned about the fallout if at some point he produced a long form birth certificate.

Obama can produce one whether it be a fraud or not at any time and he knows it would be challenged too. In fact, he said just that in his speech today about the issue. He's the most powerful man in the world. If kids can get away with making fake IDs, imagine what the President of the United States can do.

He knows that and so does many of us. President Obama is hiding something and gambling on the notion that nobody will take a strong enough stand to call his bluff. For two and a half years it has been working perfectly. Just as Obama had anticipated it would.

Enter Trump. Trump said it best when he said, "I am Obama's worst enemy." Trump is doing what nobody dared to do and that is call Obama's bluff. Today, we saw who won. Obama had to produce something probably much sooner than he had hoped.

It can be argued that recent polls showing 62% of Americans now believe that Obama was not born in the U.S. forced Obama's hand. My argument is that along with Trump's checkmate, Obama wanted to get something out to discredit Jerome Corsi's upcoming book, “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President.”

Regardless, it's obvious Obama has something to hide. I've tried, but I just can't accept the notion by anti-"birthers" from the Republican and conservative side that the birth certificate issue is preventing us from focusing on important issues. This story has never been a top news story for any significant amount of time. (It certainly would have been ALL the news had it been Bush).

November midterms, Virginia before that, New Jersey before that and Scott Brown before that proves that it certainly has not distracted us from the serious issues. Obama's continuous plummeting approval ratings dismantles the argument too.

Besides, what's wrong with having another piece of ammo in our arsenal to combat one of Obama's biggest campaign issues which is transparency? Constitutional eligibility is serious. Obama using it for political gain is shameful and he should be called on it.

By releasing something called a long from today, Obama now opens up the why-now-what-took-you-so-long debate. The only ones who are saying, "Can we now get on to something else you kook right wingers?" are the libs who have been hoping to have this moment for a long time. It isn't working. Neither is their attempt now to label the American people radical right wingers.

Trump played it great. Like him or not, he left Obama with even more questions now about the birth certificate issue than ever before. Calling Obama's bluff is why Trump is Obama's worst enemy.
