Why did he wait so long, almost three years after Clinton supporters first claimed Obama was born abroad, for Obama to release the original documentation?There certainly were political strategies involved.  But that cannot explain it all.It was Obama's enormous ego.  Challenged, he sought to control the...

So much for our media, which has been telling us -- contrary to the actual law as I explained previously-- that Obama could not obtain original documents of his own birth records.  Succumbing to the realization -- which I also predicted -- that the "Birther"...

Perhaps this is why Obama was so annoyed when a local Texas reporter asked Obama why he was so unpopular in Texas, found on a car in Austin bearing various liberal bumper stickers:If Obama is losing the Austin crowd, how long before the base turns on...

Media Matters, as part of its new "get Fox News" agenda, is spinning a tape of Bill Sammons of Fox News made in 2009 as reflecting dishonesty as to "mischievous speculation" in 2008 as to whether Obama had socialist tendencies.  Needless to say, the left-blogsphere has...

is that it reflects the reality that Obama's "Birther" strategy has failed politically, something I have long argued.Listen to the crowd reaction beginning at the 2:08 mark, as Donald Trump vigorously and repeatedly states "I want him to show the birth certificate."  The crowd claps loudly...

As I have documented here many times, one does not need to question Barack Obama's birthplace or citizenship to be called a "birther.""Birther" simply is the new "racist," an epithet thrown around at anyone who questions -- or in the case of Mike Huckabee failed to accurately state -- Obama's...

What is Obama doing?No, I mean, "what" is he "doing"?  As in, is he doing anything?The Middle East is in flames, our domestic energy production is hurting as oil prices rise, job creation is almost non-existent, the deficit and national debt are out of control, people are...

They just can't let go of the issues of where Obama was born or his religion.Not Obama's opponents, but his political and media supporters, who insist on a political purity test from Republicans, and who use the "refused to repudiate" line of attack on all who...

Watching Sean Hannity's interview with Donald Rumsfeld last night reminded me of Rumsfeld's "known- knowns, known-unknowns, and unknown-unknowns" statement during a press conference in 2002.  I use this construct in class to describe how to build a legal case (you build it around the known-knowns, just saved...

I have warned you about the Wordsmith-in-Chief.  You have to listen very carefully.In his interview with Bill O'Reilly just before the Superbowl, Obama said (via TaxProf)(emphasis mine):O'REILLY: Do you deny that you are a man who wants to redistribute wealth.OBAMA: Absolutely.O'REILLY: You deny that?OBAMA: Absolutely....

There is a bizarre intellectual dance taking place around the topic of Barack Obama's birthplace.  The world has been artificially divided into "Birthers" and "anti-Birthers" when in fact I suspect a large percentage or even majority of the population is neither and simply wants all the evidence...

If you demand to see Obama's actual birth certificate, you will be called a "Birther."  It doesn't matter if your position is that anyone ascending to a constitutional office should provide the best evidence of constitutional qualification, you're a Birther.  It doesn't matter that you...
