I'm sure he was encouraged to do what he did by factions within the Republican Party who wanted to embarrass Obama about his Birth Certificate. The republicans want to keepo evryone guessing about who the candidate will be. I know who you'll be thinking it is and she's playing a blinder as a decoy at the moment. It may well be someone else who breaks cover and goes for it.<br /><br />Donald, I feel, fronts the best Apprentice programme. The tasks are bigger and the stakes higher. Pity ot's just a game show rather than a real business insight programme.<br /><br />I'm sure Donald would be quite happy to sell memberships to anyone but his real target may be the American market.petem130https://www.blogger.com/profile/15948128258971700269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-88959154879649100532011-06-22T13:33:05.932+01:002011-06-22T13:33:05.932+01:00Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know what haar means.
