I felt both sadness and outrage yesterday when the president released his birth certificate.
I think it was best put by Baratunde Thurston in his moving video:

Now Trump is questioning Obama's educational achievements. How low will this Carnival Barker sink?
Perhaps his sinking ratings may stop his race bating antics, as pointed out by Joshua Green in The Atlantic, rating have begun to slide as shown by this chart from Mr. Green's article:
One can only hope that poor ratings (which equal less money for the never-ending greedy Trump) will catch the attention of The Donald and shut him up.
Of course, they may make him decide to run for president after all. Who will be on Celebrity Apprentice after this spectacle? Trump has become toxic.
Some people think that Trump running for president would be a good thing (especially if you are a comedian), but I do not think I can bear to listen to Trump through an entire presidential election cycle. Yes, Obama would clean his clock in any debate, but the pain Trump inflicts is just too hard to take, especially after the hateful rhetoric stirred up by Palin in 2008.
It seems that Republicans cannot debate the president on FACTS or real issues, so instead they resort to cheap shots at his past using manufactured concerns.
I don't find any of this entertaining.
