The president has opposition all round him, in his party, outside his party, in his base, and he faces Donald Trump who has been pounding on him in the media—everyday, for weeks.  The topic was the birth certificate fiasco—and the fiasco is owned entirely to the president.  Waiting two years has turned into a bad idea being that he has now been forced to ‘present his papers.’  Trump forced his hand.  Trump is now on the say playing field as the president and noting can change that now.

Calling Trump racist fell on his own deaf ears, to Trump’s advantage and credit.  You don’t have to like or dislike him, but he is due credit.  In the boxing ring of politics, the president has been knocked down.  Yes, he got up, but he has too.  He’s the president, but the match goes on.

What does this all mean, really?  The main question will be:  ‘Why wait two year?’ as I stated in the opening.  

The President of the United States is just that the president and childish games don’t suit the position.  Releasing the document after being pummeled by Trump can be read more as Barry was taken to the woodshed by a private citizen.   Yes, the president joked about it afterwards, but boys—and girls trying to save face after a good thrashing do tend to do that.

Mr. President, please, grow up, should now be the obvious course before Trump succeeds in another ‘corrective’ birching.

When I think of the president, the Golden Age of Hollywood comes to mind when the studio system [insert MSM] groomed, guided and protected their fanciful factious creation through their public and private life.

Barak Obama is a media construction with an unknown past, while what is known is in question like where’s the birth certificate.   What do I think about it?  I’m in Donald Trump’s corner, that is, since the president and his staff say the birth certificate is not an issue, well, let’s see it.

Trump is not perfect.  He’s made business and political decisions he can’t hide, so there’s no reason to lie about them.  Will he run?  No one knows.  The implication is strong that he might, but his strength right now is his power to reach the public and say what he wants, and I do think he’s genuinely concerned about the welfare and future of the United States of American in a way the president can’t or won’t match.  

The president has been shadow boxing, but another fighter has stepped into the ring.  Obama, the media icon is now going against, Trump, the business icon.  Trump wants to fight, and has been throwing punch after punch, Obama the Champ is being hit and hit, soon he’s going to try and fight back or be beat to the canvas.

That was a pretty short government shutdown, so no one even had a chance to sweat and some say, the Republicans won!

But let’s look at this from the other side, the side that wanted more—and specific items cut from the budget.  Here is a list of from Dick Morris, liking him or not doesn’t change whats on the list:

This concession makes it clear that:

* Obamacare will not be defunded.
* The EPA will not be blocked from regulating carbon.
* The NLRB will not be stopped from forcing an end to secret ballots in union contests.
* Medicaid will not be block granted and turned over to the states.
* Welfare spending will not be cut nor work requirements imposed.
* The FCC will not be stopped from regulating talk radio.

In short, we have accomplished nothing by our hard work in 2010.

Taking a good look at this surrender, well, money is still being spent and spent and spent and both the Republicans and Democrats are going it.   The future still looks like a financial black hole and the government shutdown that wasn’t.

Mr. “Bring you ideas” is going on vacation to historic Williamsburg.  He refuses to pay military personnel on time, but he’s off to spend taxpayer dollars.  Here one occasion where I agree with Donald Trump, and that is the government shutdown will be blamed on the president.  It’s one thing he’s definitely earned. 

Along with the Democrats spending the last two years running up the deficient while not passing a budget, again, what applies to the president applies to the Democrats; the government shutdown is their fault. 

The Republicans?  Well, in the last two years they haven’t had the authority to spend and spend and spend.  Now, as they, or rather a portion of their number try to control and cut needless expenditures and programs like Obamacare which is an economic ruin waiting to happen, I can’t blame the Republicans for anything fiscal unless they give in or do nothing; then they are in trouble.

So, if the American voter is awake and paying attention:  The government shutdown is a Republican win; again, if they choke, well, the U.S. economy will suffer.

You can’t spend your way out of debt.
