In the old neighborhood we would get a empty Sony TV box, glue cement blocks or bricks in it, reseal it and sell it on the street for $100.00 with the story that it was a $600.00 Sony TV that fell off a FedEx truck. Anyone that bought it without opening it was labeled a “Mark” A Bernie Madoff client, a Schmuck.
The ones that wanted to see what’s in the box before they bought it, today would be labeled a “Birther”
Are you a “BIRTHER” or a “MARK”. Do you believe Obama was born in Kapi’olani hospital? If you do I have a bridge I would like to sell you. It goes from Brooklyn to Manhattan, ready for a toll booth to be installed.
A “Mark” BELIEVED BILL CLINTON WHEN HE SAID: “I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN” Then they found the stained dress. He lied and they became a “Birther”.
A “Mark” BELIEVED JOHN EDWARDS WHEN HE SAID: “THAT’S NOT MY BABY” Then the Enquirer exposed him. He lied and they became a “Birther”.
A “Mark” BELIEVED WILLIAM “FREEZER” JEFFERSON WHEN HE SAID: “I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT CASH GOT IN MY FREEZER” Then they threw him in the slammer and they knew he lied and they became a “Birther”.
A “Mark” BELIEVED LINDA LINGEL WHEN SHE SAID: "So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi'olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that's just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue and I think it's again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this." Then they learned she lied, Fukino's statement never identified Kapiolani as Obama's birthplace and they became a “Birther”.
Fukino said, "[I have]...personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record...,"
Beyond the lie, if Lingle disclosed Obama's birth hospital without his permission, she has committed a misdemeanor. If Obama gave permission for this public disclosure, then Hawaii no longer has a basis for maintaining the privacy of Obama's birth records.
Welcome to the new members of the growing army of “BIRTHERS”
Chris Mathews, Rush Limbaugh, Hawaii Governor Abercrombie Senator Will Espero and Hawaii Legislators; Rida Cabanilla, Jerry Chang, Joey Manahan, John Mizuno and Calvin Say to name a few.
Proud to be a “Birther”

Trump's Strength is Wisdom
A top adviser for President Obama dismisses him as a "sideshow." Former Bush adviser Karl Rove calls him a "joke candidate."
But that hasn't stopped Donald Trump, who
has captured national attention with his outspoken skepticism of Obama's
citizenship, from surging in early presidential polls. He leads all
potential GOP presidential candidates by nine points in a Public Policy
Polling survey released Friday. He trailed only Mitt Romney in a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released last week.
The real estate mogul and star of NBC's "The
Apprentice" says he's encouraged by the polls, but won't make an
announcement about his plans for a presidential bid until June. Yet
he'll be in Florida this weekend to speak at a Tea Party Tax Day rally
in his first political trip since he began making waves with talks of a
possible presidential bid.
Despite Trump's early strong showing, many
still aren't convinced of his electability and analysts say he will have
to go beyond the so-called "birther" cause and define himself for
Republican primary voters on social, fiscal and foreign policy issues.
Cary Covington, a political science professor at the University of Iowa, attributes Trump's high poll numbers more to a weak Republican field than to Trump's strengths as a potential candidate.
"The Republican Party
right now hasn't found that resonant individual who speaks to the
various bases the way a Bush or Reagan did and until they do…why not
trust Trump?" he said.
While Trump's business success will appeal
to fiscal conservatives, social conservatives will struggle to overlook
his three marriages, he said.
"He's going to have a hard time making it in
the social conservative ranks," he said. "Not sure serial monogamy is
going to go over well with the social right."
Ultimately, he said, a Trump campaign likely won't succeed in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
"My intuition says the closer Republicans look at him, the less attractive he becomes," he said.
But GOP strategist Roger Stone, who worked as a lobbyist for Trump for 20 years and has launched a website in support of a Trump candidacy, says his former boss is the only one with the message and star power to defeat Obama.
"The question is why did his poll numbers
change so rapidly," he said, noting that two months ago, he was bringing
up the rear with single-digits."He's always been wealthy and outspoken.
It's what he's been talking about. America getting ripped off by OPEC.
America getting ripped off by China. America wasting billions of
dollars. And he has the brand."
Stone says he sees a clear path to the nomination for Trump.
"You don't need 51 percent to win this race.
You just need a plurality," he said. "There are a plurality of voters
in Iowa and New Hampshire who like his message."
He also said Trump's celebrity will enable him to challenge Obama, who he called an "extraordinary, spellbinding speaker."
"If you're Tim Pawlenty,
you've got to get people to know who you are and you do it on $10
million," he said. "It's so hard…Trump comes to the table well-known and
he has a forum."
Trump has been on a media blitz in recent
weeks, drawing attention by echoing the doubts of a fringe movement that
doesn't believe Obama was born in the United States, despite the existence of official documents.
White House
senior adviser David Plouffe said this week that he hopes Trump keeps
surging in the polls because "there's zero chance that Donald Trump
would ever be hired by the American people to do this job."
"There may be a small part of the country
that believes these things, but mainstream Americans think it's a
sideshow," he told ABC's "This Week."
Rove, a Fox News contributor, said Friday
that Trump was an "interesting candidate who had a business background
and could have contributed to the dialogue."
"But his full embrace of the birther issue
means that he's off there in the nutty right and is now an
inconsequential candidate," he told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.
"I'm shocked. The guy's smarter than this. And the idea that President
Obama was not born in Hawaii, making that the centerpiece of his
campaign, means that he's just a joke candidate."
Rove added that if Trump decides to run,
"The American people aren't going to be hiring him, and certainly, the
Republicans are not going to be hiring him in the Republican primary."
Trump told the Wall Street Journal this week
that he will "probably" run as an independent candidate if he doesn't
win the GOP nod.
Trump said he thinks he can win as an independent.
"I'm not doing it for any other reason," he told the newspaper. "I like winning."
