| For days Donald Trump teased ahead to a big reveal about President Barack Obama, saying his announcement would be made with the best interest of the United States of America in mind. Basically, the announcement, made at noon, comes down to the birth certificate controversy and question of Obama’s college records. If Pres. Obama releases his college records and his passport records, then Trump says he will give a $5 million check to a charity. Trumps says he will release the check within an hour of receiving the records. The caveat, he says, is that they have to be submitted by Oct. 31.

Anyone who ever thought that Donald Trump was anything more than a Carnival Barker needs to have his head examined. This is a joke, unless of course he already has the records and is going to release them himself on November 1.

I'm glad that Trump was smarter than to use the divorce papers. I'm glad that he reminds us that the controversies regarding NerØbama's records have not been resolved. Many of us have mixed feelings about The Donald, as many had mixed feelings about Ross Perot. Perot was labeled 'crazy', but what he argued proved absolutely correct and on target. Let's see how Mr. Trump's arguments hold up when the truth is finally revealed years from now.

Ridiculous. Even if Zero "released" them, they would be cheezy forgeries like the fake 'Certification of Live Birth' they made up. The media is so crooked on this that they won't even look into the clearly forged document. They would never do anything except "validate" whatever lies they put out there.

I think this is not so bad. Many people who support Obama do not know that his records are hidden. This gets the word out that O has done everything in his power to keep them out of sight.They will wonder, why? Trump is not such a bad egg, guys. He is on our side.

I don't know guys, I think Trump already knows Obama went by Barry Soetero during those days and could not have traveled to Pakistan unless he had a dual citizenship or foreign passport.
As for his grades, I think Obama probably has very good grades, as did his Father before he was thrown out of Harvard for sexually harassing white girls.

If the media had done their job, this offer could never be made. This points out what's wrong with the media and the fact that we still don't know much about Obama's past.
This will get buried by the media even faster than it will be ignored by Obama because it points out that the MSM is just an arm of the Dimocrat party.

Maybe cleaver by half but it does keep the ball up in the air. Does he have the records and will release them after Oct. 31 if BHO does bite? The campaign is coming down to who do you trust and the D has illustrated that BHO has something to hide. Trump said it would be a game changer and this isn't by a mile so does he have something more? Maybe. But it keeps some guessing which makes some uncertain and it may sway a few.

I'll give it to the Donald that at least he is putting his money where his mouth is.
Of course, this is all about Donald's ego and needing a steady dose of publicity. That won't cost him anything, since you know N∅bama won't take him up on his offer.
But at least we get a little comic relief in these last couple of very stressful weeks...

Since only 2% of the voters are undecided, even after four debates, anything that might attract five additional votes for Romney and against Obama at this point could be a game changer.
Donald Trump's offer means that unless Obama agrees to Donald Trump's terms, voters will be reminded over the next week that Obama is so adamant about not divulging his personal records that he's willing to deny $5 million to worthy charities that could help American citizens in need -- and the voters will wonder why, and some will be more reluctant to trust Obama and to vote for him.
And, of course, Donald Trump will not be a shrinking violet about reminding the country every day about what a Scrooge Obama is for declaring ''Bah Humbug!'' to $5 million worth of help for Americans, when all Obama has to do to allow his charitable gift to be used is present his personal records, which every president has routinely done for decades.

The Obamabot flamers trying to villify Trump need to focus on why their Messiah feels the need to hide records. No one, spends resources like he does in order to hide facts that would obviously be fatal to his fraudulent status without reason.
Ultimately, the facts will come out. When they do, the Democrat party will be history.

Not sure this is good for us. The media will use this to bump the very damaging Behghazi revelations off the radar screen and fill thier "news" stories with "It's just Trump acting like an idiot" stories instead. I think the Gloria Allred accusations are intended to do the same thing. The media is deparate to talk about anything but Benghazi and this gives them another excuse.

Any bad news is good news when it comes to Obama. Trump can look strange to people, but it does put more smoke around Obama's legitimacy. And that is always good. He doesn't represent the Tea Party or the GOP, so he's doing us all a favor.

You could hear the deep breath, the pause before a conversational plunge. On the phone were Monica Gabrielle and Kristen Breitweiser. Their husbands died at the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attack. This week, a new effort to find remains from the site uncovered 39 pieces of what appeared to be human bones. That was the yield from the first three days of work in a process that is expected to go on for at least two months.

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say. In a significant shift in fiscal strategy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday will send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that departs from the usual presidential wish list that Republicans typically declare dead on arrival.

Washington is edging closer to a budget deal, thanks to a gutsy change in strategy at the White House. Next week, President Obama will propose specific cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget, according to senior White House officials. That will put the onus on House Speaker John Boehner to show some leadership, too. He needs to push Republicans toward accepting tax increases beyond the $600 billion approved in December. It can be done. As I reported last month, Washington’s biggest myth is that a budget deal is out of reach

WASHINGTON — The North Korean army warned the United States on Wednesday it has been cleared to wage nuclear war using “smaller, lighter and diversified weapons.” In a speech earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that North Korea has both the nuclear weapons and the delivery system “now.” It’s the latest round in an escalation of rhetoric and actions that began with a North Korean nuclear test in February. Still, military officials and experts don’t expect North Korea to launch an attack on the United States.

Two breaking news alerts came through the wire this afternoon: First, the AP sent word that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called North Korea´s latest rhetoric a real, clear danger and threat to the U.S. and its allies. Within minutes, CNBC announced that the Pentagon has sent a new missile defense to Guam. The reports that followed those alerts added some meat to the storty -- "Hagel´s comments come as tensions continue to rise between North and South Korea," etc. -- but they are notably lacking in context. How serious is the threat, really? Are the North and South on the verge of war, or is this yet another bluff?

In a bizarre new twist to the saga of Sen. Bob Menendez and his donor-friend Salomon Melgen, members of Melgen’s circle are now hurling accusations at FBI agents investigating the pair’s relationship. During an appearance on the weekly Dominican TV show La Respuesta last week, Melgen’s uncle Vincho Castillo accused the FBI of threatening and kidnapping two of Melgen’s maids. In addition to being the Dominican Republic’s top drug cop and founder of a far right-wing political party, Vincho Castillo is also the father of Vinicito Castillo, a lawyer who allegedly participated in sex parties organized by Melgen.

My nephew’s high school government class is studying propaganda, a word most students associated with Hitler, Goebbels, and the like. “I deal with propagandists every day,” I told the class in the Detroit area last week. “They work in the White House and in Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike.” The kids were a bit surprised. “Are you calling them Nazis?” one asked. Of course not, I replied, but politicians today are using new communications tools to spread their version of the truth, much of it misleading. A smart piece by Nancy Benac of the Associated Press describes how the Obama White House “image machine” works--“serving up a stream of words, images, and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate, and on the ball.

Since November, the prospective death of the Republican coalition has hovered over American politics, and the autopsy has gained renewed attention in light of the debates over gay marriage and immigration, both of which split the GOP from rising chunks of the electorate. I’m an advocate of the theory, first put forward a decade ago by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, that the electorate is forming a natural Democratic majority. The Republican Party appears to be caught in a double bind, in which the electorate is growingly progressively less white, and even younger white voters hold less conservative views than older ones. What’s more, evidence suggests that voters maintain the partisan allegiances they form at a young age. The picture looks grim for the GOP.

The sequester doesn’t appear to have hit the West Wing of the White House particularly hard. Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters — after more than a month of dodging questions on White House effects — that 480 employees of the White House Office of Management and Budget have received furlough notices. Even that tidbit is weeks old. After Congress let the March 1 deadline pass without replacing automatic across-the-board spending cuts, executive branch agencies have been scrambling to cut their budgets and furlough employees.

At some point, I feel that everything will be good.”That point has not arrived. The third baseman acknowledged meeting with the league about their investigation into Biogenesis, the anti-aging clinic whose records contained Rodriguez’s name.

Former CIA director Mike Hayden credits “an incredible band of sisters” for the success of the operation that found and brought down Osama bin Laden. Now one of those sisters has been appointed acting chief of the CIA’s National Clandestine service. It is a major milestone for women at the CIA, the first time in the agency’s history that a female officer has headed the clandestine service. But The Post reports that CIA Director John Brennan is “hesitating” at giving her the position on a permanent basis, because of her past association with the CIA’s rendition, detention and interrogation (RDI) program. This is an outrage. According to several former senior CIA officials I spoke with, the officer is highly respected and unquestionably qualified for this post.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
