"Trump, like every other potential GOP candidate, has been utterly overshadowed by the administration’s triumph in killing Osama bin Laden (forcing NBC, irony of ironies, to cut away from Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday night). But the impact may have been greater for The Donald because it made the issue he was loudly pursuing—Barack Obama’s birth certificate—seem so small."
I can see why there will be no end to the criticism of the president. Did he hesitate, did he not? Attorney general this or that ... For all the criticism, and the hatred of healthcare reform, and the birther crap, Obama still got Bin Laden. I wonder if this will do anything to his approval rating, and his chances of reelection. I think Donald Trump should stay in the Apprentice. When it comes to politics, Trump is an apprentice. Well, Republicans will have to do something to top this one, because if the current polls are right, Obama is assured of reelection. Two years is a long time for politics to change. That is how long Republicans have to come up with something. Criticizing the president at this point is just petty-minded jealousy. But then, there are those who hate everything the president does, even the good things.
