President Obama has released his birth certificate. The President was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.(Above---Honolulu from space. Many on the right persist in the far out view that President Obama was born outside the U.S.) I'm not sure why the birth certificate was released. Why not take the political gain offered by folks who never let up on the birth certificate issue?With Donald Trump taking the credit for the release, maybe the intent is to enhance Mr. Trump among...

Heck, I have my own YouTube channel with nothing but videos of their particular accomplishments in the arts, etc. so I'm a rather proud mom.My feelings this week have really run the gamut.
