You think this is a sideshow circus, just wait till Trump runs for Prez and the media digs up the dirt on him. It will be headline material every week for a whole year. Between his failed marriages, bankruptcies, bad dealings, there are a lot of people waiting to put a knife in the back of the Donald
The GOP seriously needs to silence Trump, or it's Obama by default in 2012. At this point the faction is so split, between the establishment, Tea Party, and now Trump, that I seriously doubt they can win in 2012 as it stands.
And this press conference wasn't loud sideshow barking? The little empty suit caved into the likes of The Donald? That's a laugh and a-half.not often heard at a circus.
Trump is a joker. He's just trying to distract attention from the bit of yak clinging to his head.
I like the GOP. This is the only issue that they can "seriously" address.
I agree with Johnny 100%. As an occupant of a huge glass house, The Donald needs to be careful of the stones he throws. What little respect I had for Donald Trump is eroding daily.
There are important issues that every member of our government needs to address. This hatefull rheteric (from all sides) is beyond idiotic. Stop taking valuable time to continue to question items that are answered and proven...if you want Obama out of office support a "better" candidate for 2012. I feel those who support Mr Trump should be ready to "go down with the ship"...just don't be surprised to find out he has already left in his personal lifeboat.
The real issue is the college transcripts. In all likelyhood Obama claimed foreign citizenship to gain addmition to Occidental College. If this is correct, he effectively denounced his American citizenship and is an illegal alien.
hey Obamanation... nearly 50% of the GOP believe Obama was born in another country... that's the real laugh... and today everyone is laughing at the likes of yourself... don't feel bad, you're just a right winger, its highly understandable !
I am suspicious. Why did Obama wait so long to release his birth certificate? This should have been done when he was campaigning for President. He blames persons for demanding proof when he caused the controversy himself. Anyone want to see my birth certificate? I would furnish it in a flash. Something stinks in Denmark here.
This all could have been avoided had the POTUS had just been "transparent" but he refuses to be a stand up guy. Makes me question what this is really all about. It is like he is saying "I'll give you what I want to give you so shut up and sit down. How dare you question me" It's that snobery that begs even more questions (what is he hiding) regardless of their validity.
This is a Joke....pls can someone wake me up and tell me that I am dreaming....How can people in thier right mind believe that our President was not born here.....OMG.....so the Nation elected a Senator that was from outer space and also elected him as a President.....OMG...we should be all be scared....I am not sure if Bush, Clinton or Regan are true Americans....OMG...I am not sure if I am living in the US....Pls can someone tell me I am dreaming
So, before he became President, neither the FBI, CIA, nor NSA are competent enough to verify whether or not he is a citizen? No one was able to vet his past, this is something we're not good at? Give me a break. Focus on the issues.
So what is next for us Birthers....I have Obama for killing this story.....You think this is the end of the story? Nope....We need proof is Obama's mother is an American. Not all white people are Americans.....I have prrof that she is British and was smuggled into America
"Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the United States Constitution.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Natural Born Citizen = BOTH parents are U. S. Citizens.
I guess this leaves Obama out, unless he was born before the Adoption of the US Constitution
The WSJ should not be posting articles that have not been proofread. I found two typos in this piece before I quit reading it. Give us real journalism, please.
Obama is the worst president in history, but why blame him for anything? He is just a reflection of the idiotic majority that couldn't decipher what he was in 2008. This country has passed the point of no return - all downhill from here.
Would someone please ask the adults to come back into the room? The children have utterly lost their minds.
The issue for us Birthers is that Obama is black and the US Constitition stated that Non-White can NEVER be President because they are not as EQUALl to us WHITE people period. That is what the Framers and founding fathers wanted and now we are electing a BLACK man as our president....shame on you America
Ohh.. O'bama, you silly little tool.
Transparency for a change. Still no hope.
Transparency for a change. Still no hope.
Finally, even "King Obama" wakes up to the fact that he may be accountable to the American People. If the BC were in existence, why did he wait until now, when his citizenship was becoming a real issue, to release it?
Now, I'd like to see his college and law school transcripts. Although Obama may believe that he rules by Divine Right, he is simply another non-qualified dilettante propelled by Affirmative Action.
Birth certificate of not, Obama is not an American in his heart and mind. He never was, and never will be.
Of course this is all about race.
The sideshow and carnival barkers are primarily the cheerleaders for BO: mainly the network, the White House Press Corps(e), and Kool-Aid cultists like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
Gas prices have doubled, black unemployment has soared 20+%, foreclosures are rising along with food prices...and B.O. does what....
Well, today he is doing the OPRAH WINFREY show and attending THREE fundraisers.
I wonder if he'll golf, too....
Despite his facade of jocularity at the latest dog and pony show, I would surmise he is seething inside...kind of like when Clinton had to walk across the lawn with Chelsea and Hillary the day after his televised admission of the Lewinsky affair...remember that? He was walking the (now deceased, run over by a truck) dog "Buddy", and laughing like everything was great....all the while enraged....
Obambi's performance today reminded me of that episode....
@ Garvin...
Junior High education level? If what you posted is accurate, it says "or a Citizen of the United States"
If the Mother has the child within the US territories, the child is a US citizen. Each day passing, foreigners are having children here to attain the citizenship and raising elsewhere.
The child can come back, live for 14 yrs, turn 35 and then run. And I guarantee any of these people would be more equipped to run..as opposed to your boy Trump.
You have the name "Vermeychuk" and you are saying someone ELSE is not an American. Priceless.
If Obama was white, this would not happen. GTFOH
Trump is a clown - time to get back to the makeup and hairstyling room. I can't believe he is holding himself out as the arbiter of authenticity. Have you ever stayed in one of his hotels!
Trump should realize that Obama has better things to do.
See, the American people voted to make Obama President. These are the same people who also voted for Bush 1 and 2 and Nixon and Carter and Clinton.....Now the Hockey Pucks on the Right want to say that the vote was a fraud and Obama is an alien and his mother was...........Hey Don Rump-What now? You are kind of stuck without an issue to stir up your Teabag fellow idiots. Now you want his college transcript and his vaccination records and his Kindergarten records and his......
Then we want to do a DNA test on his mother and father (Let's exhume the bodies) and see if there is a match and then we can test his kids to see if he is the father and then we can investigate Michelle and see where she was born and then her parents to see where they were born and then we will want to investigate all the people who voted for Obama and then...............I had one Grunch but the Eggplant over there.......
Medical and food costs going up and Gas will soon be $5.00 and food manufacturers are giving less for more money and we are in three wars and the National debt is crushing and the Republicans want to end Medicare and Sarah and The Rump and Bachmann and the the TP arty are considered POTUS material......
How could Trump realize...he builds condos & hosts gameshows, and has divorces and files bankruptcy....
All things required to run for presidency....he has no clue about anything. I am upset for the media promoting this clown of a candidate. He will not run...mark it down.
The sideshow and caranival barkers are Obama and his minions! Tax the rich is not a deficit plan - it is simply a campaign slogan. And, Obama keeps lying about the Ryan plan and how Medicare as we know it wil survive under his leadership.
My parents are immigrants, I am a natural born citizen (and served in the U.S. military). McCain was born outside of the U.S. in the Panama Canal Zone and no one blinked an eye. As an American, I am deeply embarrassed, expecially when questioned by my cousins overseas. There are quite a few of my countryman who would be of better use situated overseas, perhaps in Antarctica.
By the way, I am a white male of European descent.
...and for the record, before we get too far, the conservative punditry and leadership almost always attacked by the liberals like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and sometimes people like Jan Brewer are NOT "birthers", and in fact have mostly avoided or even chastised the birther movement...so B.O. didn't have a convenient straw man to attack there.
I've even heard statements attributing Donald Trump as NOT believing Obama was born in America. The FACT is, Trump said he thought Obama probably WAS born in America, he'd just like to see the proof. What was the phrase applied to Nixon? Was it: "it isn't the crime, it is the cover-up"?
@Mike, it's great to see a birther acknowledge your racism. Too bad your chump Trump isn't as honest. Now that we have that established, the rest of us can move on.
I hate to bring the 'color' card in here, but this is what all of this boils down to. If it's not his birth, it's his college records, or something insignificant. I have never seen a political figure get thrown such non-sense. is anyone checking into Mitt Romney's birth or his college records. did anyone care that George W used cocained. No.. There are bigger issues at this moment. You can attack his policies, but if you are asking proof from Obama than ask it of all the other non-minority candidates. Once again it shows how as a nation even after 100+years after civil war & 40+ years of civil rights we have yet to evolve beyond the color of man.
The president complains of smear campaigns. Which president is most notorious for barking and pointing fingers from the podium at people sitting right in front of him?
Does this include the "Carney" that conducts his Press meetings every day????
Way to go Barry! Now how about allowing the million or so U.S.-born adoptees access to our original birth certificates, if you're not too busy getting re-elected?
I could give a flip about Trump, he is not the issue here. Why did OUR PRESIDENT wait to provide this basic document? He created this side-show, why???? I am nauseated.....
African was NOT a term used in 1961. It took so long to post the supposed "long form" so they could come up with a fake one to show when the story finally got traction. I doubt this is over yet. School records are next.
Hey GOP, can you see 2016 from here .., because that's as close as you are going to get.
I assume all this is true but to put it to bed for good I would like to see another certificate of live birth from that era to see if it is the same form and some backup to make sure the records at the hospital back up the event. For example, who was the attending physician on the hospital records and when did they start putting footprints on the birth documents in Hawaii?
I blame Obama for appeasing the right and not taking more dramatic action. Instead of continuing the policies of the past, we should taken action immediately. Things are not getting better as time passes and kicking the can down the road is not the "change" we need.
W & Greenspan sowed the seeds of economic disaster so deep that no one will be able to right this ship for 10 years. People were given credit at the worst time possible - baby boomers who should have been buckling down and saving the last few years, they were buying their dream home with the new kitchen and a nice new car with their new HELOC. Now that they need to unload, their are not enough people in Generation X to buy or who are willing to pay up for these palaces. The housing market for the next 5 - 10 years will be a blood bath. Many rentals coming.
We need calmly focus of what sacrifices we can make individually and collectively to rebuild the economy. Rancor and pie throwing did not get us through WWII.
Obama is the carnival barker. He oversold and then undelivered on his campaign promises, big time. Yet, he has the stones to continue the deception. It is understandable that reasonable people would question his legitimacy and his credibility.
@John from Idaho - I like the way you think
He just stomped all of you idiots who would never question the birthplace of Bush or Clinton or any other white President and who wonder why people think you are racists. He stomped you and he stomped you hard. Move on the college conspiracy theories now, and then the Senate races, go, go, go. Idiots. Stomped. Full stop.
Why do we have a president that continue to demonstrate rancor, disdain and hate for the American people. This is all his fault. All he had to do was release his bc years ago. Kind of like how McCain did it when asked.
Barry is the most petulant, arrogant jakcsas and demeans the office of president more each day. WHEN are we going to get adults like Paul Ryan in charge on BOTH SIDES of the aisle?
All that Trump said was that he was an agnostic as to the legitimacy of BHO's long-form birth certificate. Now that we have the long form, the debate is apparently over. All this "silliness" that BHO decries could have easily been avoided had BHO released the long form when the question first arose.;
First off, it's still a COLB, not a BC. The term "Afrikan" was not in use at that time and he has had three years to present this doc. IF it is legit, why did he allow Lt Col Terry Lakin to go to jail for simply asking for the doc he presented today? Did it take a few months to work out the "kinks" in the doc? So, I am with Trump. We'll look at it and then we'll ask for other supporting docs such as Occidental records, Columbia records, any writings that he may have done while attending these universities. I do find it puzzling that no one remembers him at Columbia. Was this dynamic, brilliant student just not that brilliant and memorable after all? How did he get to Pakistan in 1981 when US citizens couldn't go there?
Does no one see that this was his plan all along? Let's make the people who question my citizenship look like a sideshow, thus the economy and anything else I screw up can go on the back burner!
Given the sentences that used to come out of Dubya's mouth I often questioned whether he was born in the U.S. - of course after reading some of the posts here, he is actually more American than I realized
There are tapes - easily accessible - from the Howard Stern radio program of The Donald discussing his sex life and responding, quite specifically, to Howard's questions about just what sort of sex he enjoys. Let's hear them - now.
All that Trump said was that he was an agnostic
lololololololololololololololol. Are you people serious?!
To me it pretty much sets a precedence. McCain can't be president. He wasn't born in the US. If a nominee's long form birth certificate was destroyed in a fire he couldn't be president either. But the real travesty is that the 25% of Americans who doubted Obama's citizenship are allowed to vote. God save our country.
i've never seen a group so stomped into the ground as the birthers are today... they all went on and on and on, thinking this day would never happen.
what are they gonna do with themselves now?? pivot right, back to the 9/11 conspiracy ! yes !
There was no logic to this "argument" to begin with so showing actual proof will achieve nothing. Trump's support will stay where it is - it had nothing to do with birthing in the first place. It has to do with solving the outsourcing problem (25% tax on China & India) and the US getting paid for use of its military to settle issues abroad. Which are actually real issues.
C'mon, does anybody really think Trump is gunning for the presidency? Trump is just an "unconnected" mouthpiece that has been sent out to say what a lot of people want to say, but can't because it wouldn't be politically correct and their political futures would be shot. The Donald is a lot of things, but he's not stupid. He knows he doesn't have a shot in hell at the presidency, but he has the personna to generate a lot of publicity over issues that are dogging Obama and keep him on the defensive. And he decided long ago that he doesn't care what anybody thinks of him or what he says...he's the perfect media weapon.
Obama finally did something right.
Are the comments for real? Did someone just really say that only a white man can be president..A) that clearly isn't true, and B) what plantation do you live on?..That has got to be the most asinine thing I have heard since 5pm last night. Don't worry though, Mike, I'm 100% positive that Glenn will take the crown again tonight.. Seriously why don't you worry about actual issues. I also have a question, how do libertarians/conservatives justify telling government to pound sand on fiscal issues but then want government up everyone's as*es about all issues social?...I thought the point was freedom, not massive governmental oppression..
Invasion of privacy seems OK for Trump. I trust the media will trash Trump!
Someone finally overwhelmed Obama's stubborn ego and he produced the documents, and Trump deserves some credit for this. Only bad advice or stubborn pride could make Obama let this issue fester so long without dealing with it. It follows he should open his Occidental records as well and put the focus back in present time. Deal with your past and let the rest of us move on. This is so obvious it may be something he needs professional help on.
WSJ: Are the proofreaders on vacation?
Side show barkers and carnival shows are also know as entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Obama does not like small business owners or entrepreneurs?
Does this mean investigative journalism will be making a comeback?
Once upon a time journalists barked questions to the President. Not Obama. The media has not posed a tough question in years.
If only Obama could just be white
Than this would all go away
- Tea Party
The "sideshow and carnival barkers" existed because Obama wanted them to exist. He resisted calls to release all his records for three years so that he could gain politically when he finally released them. There was no good reason for him to not do this three years ago. He fed the controversy by acting like he had something to hide.
it is kind of funny that Now he finds it. but moving on, Trump is an idiot, and Obama still have violated the Constitution and should be impeached
Wow. Didn't realize what nutjobs read the WSJ.
Why didn't Obama just call Trump a moron and get it over with.
Survey is poorly worded. It is not clear whether the question refers to whether or not the issue is settled in the reader's mind, or if it will be settled in the public arena or if it will be settled among the "birthers."
So the comb-over clown takes credit for being proven to be a carnival barker? I hope Trump releases his financial records so that the world can see how he fleeced his creditors on multiple occasions. The only part of his "organization" that makes money is his TV show. If it wasn't for that he would probably have to file for bankrupcy for the fifth time.
Too bad you big hump, you're the main attraction at the freak show
Obama Denounces 'Sideshow and Carnival Barkers'...... funny thing for a clown to say.
The don as his Name implies claims that use of his name added several million dollars worth to what he was paid.
His not producing the people who he claimed said that Obama'a birth certificate might be missing actually demonstrates what the dons comments are worth.
"natural born Citizen" in the constitution means on US soil to 2! CITIZEN parents
he is a DUAL citizen AT BEST and probably an alien if his second adopted Indonesian father's Soetero was never taken back
This article is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.
Can anybody on here take this and Trump seriously. Obama needs a victory. Another victory our President is going to get credit for is calling for higher gas prices in 2008, along with a quote from Secretary Chu in this paper wanting gas prices to rise to the levels of Europe. Well mission accomplished, this really should give everyone what insights leader had then on the effects of higher gas prices as it relates to the economy.
I'm a Republican, but Trump is bonkers. If he is elected president, I'm going to Indonesia
Obama should have taken a page from Dick Cheney vs Pay Leahy and told the birther idiots what they could do.
It's a shame that extreme-right knuckle-draggers can un-track the business of the country with such trivia.
If Mr. Obama had been white none of this foolishness would have come up. Bigotry hath no end.
All of you clowns can go back to watching reality TV now and derp derp derping about Trump the Chump. I can't believe most of you idiots know the WSJ actually exists.
The comments above are amazing. The bigoted Liberals show THEIR racism by claiming that the "birthers" are racially-motivated. Firstly, the issue was originally brought up by the Clinton campaign. Secondly, it has nothing to do with race. Perhaps it's politically-motivated (by those who don't want a Marxist and/or Fascist as president), but there have been and remain serious questions as to the President's birthplace and college sponsorship (see below). We even have a Liberal shill posting above who PRETENDS to be a birther, and says that blacks are banned from serving as president. [There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution about blacks, although there is mention of slaves -- most of whom were black, and freemen, most of whom were white.] And then, other Liberal bigots capitalize on this obvious shill, by saying it proves the mental deficiency of "birthers". Then, on the other side, we have people who have no idea what the Constitutional requirements for president are, who expound as though they do. What nonsense!
In respect to Obama's birthplace, there still remains to be explained:
1) Why Obama's grandmother claims to have witnessed his birth in Kenya (not Honolulu)
2) Why Kenyan government officials have records indicating the Obama was born in Kenya (not Honolulu)
3) Why Obama listed his birthplace as Kenya on his Fulbright Scholarship application
4) Why Obama earlier posted an obvious forgery (using a form that Hawaii didn't adopt until 12 years after Obama was purportedly born there) on his campaign website.
5) Why Obama spent millions (of other people's money) hiding his birth certificate and school records.
6) Who paid for Obama's education?
Until all of these questions (and more) are answered satisfactorily, the latest display (which could easily be another forgery) is meaningless.
As to why no other presidential candidate has been "forced" to show his birth certificate, no other candidate has given so much reason for doubt as the current liar-in-chief. If this were a Republican, the media and Liberals would be demanding answers, as (initially) Hillary Clinton's campaign did, and rational conservatives are still doing.
If it took Donald Trump to bring this matter to the attention it deserves, then Trump has done one decent thing in his career.
Hey, let's call it what it is: THIS IS AMERICAN RACISM AT ITS BEST. IF HE WERE WHITE, THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE.
if you don't like it, work harder to get someone else in the seat next term. Right now all that the right wing muckracking bags of wind have done is cartoonize the GOP political frontrunner as a blather-mouthed comb-over wearing TMZ-watching windbag. Fox news cartoonized the entire political system by giving this run of the mill dumbass American 15 minutes of wind time. If you want the answer to your questions, get with the rest of the tea-baggers and do something about it. Otherwise, all you are doing is wasting people's time b/c the vast majority of America couldn't care less. Do something noble and productive like finding a GOP representative worthy of taking the helm than pandering to this f-ing windbag idiot who once again found a way to trick Fox News into reaching a new depth of TMZ journalism equal to that of The Star and The National Enquirer. I implore you, all of you that care so much about this topic, to concentrate your energy on topics that provide value, not waste time and energy.
Guess the White House staff finally got a decent forger to help them out.
" Mr. Trump said. "I am really honored and I am really proud that I was able to do something that no one else was able to do."......."
And that was to increase his personal billions while driving his corporations ito banruptcy four times, I believe.
I sincerely hope he gets the GOP nomination. Birthers and Tea Party Twinkies deserve nothing less.
It makes one wonder why he decided to keep the \"mystery\" alive.
Until Donald seemed to be making headway with his brazen insistence
that BHO provide clearly official certification of his birth
the Potus appeared to be relying for legitimacy primarily on mere existence.
But one plausible hypothesis is that he was holding it as an ace up his sleeve--
a \"much ado about nothing\" card to be played only when another player
seemed to be close to winning the pot by questioning the place of his birth,
and could then be accused of holding a hand including a base canard.
However, on Fox Cable TV Donald was seen only a few minutes ago,
saying that he was greatly relieved at having finally forced production of the long-suppressed long-form;
and could now focus attention entirely on BHO's long-revealed dysfunctional presidency during which instances of RobinHoodism have become the norm.
Note. The Obama response from Hawaii?? --this whole affair has been silly--
provides some early empirical validation for the hypothesis outlined above.
By no means am I an Obama supporter, but nor have I been a birther. However, Obama's comments referring to the "sideshow and carnival barkers" and "distraction" send up a huge red flag in my mind. For well over two years, he's had the ability at his fingertips to end it all but chose not to. I can't help but ask why he waited if indeed it so concerned him.
There is only one race in this entire situation: the race to capture the Presidency in 2012. Anyone who says differently is so racist and bigoted as t be laughable. Second....this President should not throw stones when he is in the biggest glass house of all. He has been thuggish, inconsiderate and uninvolved in most of the past two years. The only question I have is: if an American mother gives birth anywhere on the planet, is that child a citizen of the USA? Yes! If, the mother registers his birth in the USA. So, there no more questions from the mongers in the comments above. And, I am a conservative!
To the marginalized man - are you dumb or you are just appearing to be so. a forger?, do you really think you would be asking that question if any white president was at the white house and going thru this? Probably not. then again you probably believe that the good things will come back along with the old times and that everything will go back to being the same as it was in the 50's. Dont you think that the President would have to go thru FBI scrutiny to be even accepted to his previous position? Why did you not denounce this issue when he was not president but a mere Senator? OH WAIT no lets wait until he is President to find out this. Clearly you have nothing to do except believe in conspiracy theories. Grow up and join us in this century with a clear vision of how we can better the United States for all. And when i say all its not only the right wing (which you probably belong to) but the other inhabitants of the US. or do you want me to use small words so you can understand? Stop watching Beck, o;reilly and Rush. Expand your knowledge and stop believing in what the right wing feeds you. THINK FOR A MOMENT
One more time Obama wins. He let it be an issue when questions about his birth made Republicans look foolish. When it no longer in his favor he releases the documents and claims the Republicans are not serious and we need to focus on real issues. He has yet to propose any solutions to our problems that really have an opportuntiy to work. What a crazy world.
Obama is about politics 24/7. For three years he's fought, in the courts and otherwise, all efforts to get him to release his birth certificate. All he had to do was produce the document, as he did this morning.
His conduct has created the "sideshow" and "distraction."
He has shown disdain for the Constitution, which requires the president to be a U.S. native, by not releasing the birth certificate. He should've proudly produced it early one, in an effort to honor the Constitutional requirement.
But he wanted to play poltiics with this. It's been a distraction -- just what he wanted because of the miserable failure of his policies, domestic and foreign.
He's unfit to be President. He's about campaigning, not GOVERNING or LEADING.
Birth certificate of not, Obama is not an American in his heart and mind. He never was, and never will be.
Congrats!!! This is officially the dumbest thing I read today
Why did OUR PRESIDENT wait to provide this basic document? He created this side-show, why????
He didn't wait. He went about his business running the country and took a single day to address the equivalent of tabloid controversy. He didn't even have to provide his birth certificate.
You're only complaining if you were one of the many who needed proof of his birth certificate.
African was NOT a term used in 1961. It took so long to post the supposed "long form" so they could come up with a fake one to show when the story finally got traction
Really…do we need an elaborate conspiracy to fool the same people that hang on the every word of Beck, Rush, Palin and Coulter. You may not like the generalization, but the folks are not the brightest people in the world. My God...you're talking about people who bought Becks drivel for how long.
Rancor and pie throwing did not get us through WWII
Agreed, but how in the world are you going to get this lazy ADHD shortsighted nation of people to focus and work on a problem that is both difficult and requires a long term investment of effort. That's not even taking into account that those in elected position must be wrestled into working for the people and not just a handful of wealthy contributors/ lobbyists.
WHEN are we going to get adults like Paul Ryan in charge on BOTH SIDES of the aisle
Paul Ryan was the current golden child of the GOP. Now it's being revealed that his plan regarding Healthcare is almost identical to the one presented by Obama.
All this "silliness" that BHO decries could have easily been avoided had BHO released the long form when the question first arose.;
You're still not getting it…the president was under no obligation to release his birth certificate. The only reason he did so was because certain elements on the Right realize they have lost control of the GOP and are working with the Dems and the POTUS to regain control of the party.
Even Bill O'Reilly has come out on his show and pointed out some of the fictions the TEA Party has been pushing
Why did the president wait to show this document when he could have shown it earlier? It was a choice he made, he was in control of the decision/information. Now it makes me wonder why some information is held on to instead of shared when it IS an issue...why let these issues continue? Was this a political play to use to belittle those who ask? It could have been handled easily and much earlier and been done with. Hopefully it is now laid to rest.
He may denounce the "barkers" but he has added to the 'carnival'. Had he posted the document when it was requested, there would have been no controversy. Of course, being forthright doesn't suit Barry's purpose. He will do anything...say anything to divide the nation. It's what Soros had told him to do.

Everything is "racism" in the idiot liberal mind. Had any candidate, no matter what race, had the background that he had, had refused to put his hand on his heart during the national anthem, had refused to wear a flag pin, had not been vetted by the media, had close associations with admitted communists and enemies of America, and had sought to destroy our economy and replace it with socialism....that person's birthplace would have been questioned.
Naturally, you are too blinded by your worship of this "messiah" to care. May you one day, suffer under the utopia that you seek.
Anyone who thinks Trump won anything consider this. I've played a lot of poker. When someone attempts to call my bluff and I lay down the winning hand, I win and they lose.
Obama: 1
Trump: 0
I personally don't remember any past president's birth certificates floating around on the net, as it has never ever been any concern of the American people until Obama was in office. Like him, don't like him - it really doesn't matter. There's always going to be a president in there that people like and people hate. That is life - accept it and you'll live happier. I think it's extremely childish that this fiasco with his birth certificate is on everyone, including Trump's mind. This is top news? Hey! We don't have his DNA or fingerprints, nor his social security number! HE MUST BE ANTI-AMERICAN!.... Seriously... Have we as a nation sunk to a new low? It looks almost like "When Reality TV Meets the US Government." I think it's sad.
"Sldieshow and carnival barker?" It takes one to know one. President Obama is the consumate side show and carnival barker. And, now, people were questioning Captain Marvo the Magnificent so much that no one was believing his lies anymore.
all the knuckle draggers blaming Obama for this, nevermind that to become president you probably have to go through 20 federal background checks... and your all crying ,"why did he fight this" and "he's the reason this dragged out"... what tools ! just astounding the level of ignorance the right wing carries around on display ! I truly believe you're all from another planet !
DT has no right, he could ask any person to prove US citizenship over the gossip media.
DT has no right, he could have done to any person to prove U.S. citizenship over the gossip media. Drop DT.
donald trump proved once again why he is bankrupt.
Once again Obama demonstrates incredibly poor judgment. He handed Donald Trump a major victory and did nothing to dispel rumors about his birth. The man is simply not presidential timbre.
The sideshow was Obama spending $2 million to prevent release and delaying it this long. It needn't have been, and casts more doubt on his wilingness to be as open, transparent and forthcoming as he promised.
This is a pretty sorry tale.
Think Twice - Maybe you should be called think at ALL - $2 million...where did you get that figure out of you Asp?...LOL! this is silly people...move on.
and now a new question about college ! what next ! GET A LIFE, TURN OFF THE RADIO TALK SHOWS AND LEARN TO THINK FOR YOUR SELF
I cannot believe that any intelligent person could have been a part of this "birth place" stupidity that dragged on for so long. What I do believe is that there will be persons out there with an IQ of -0 that will question the validity of the birth certificate as presented today.
I really cannot find any words to describe how ashamed I am that a nation under God and with justice and liberty for all, (just parts being written here) can have people with such bigotry, hatred and stupidity living in it.
I doubt it was only Donald Trump that caused him to release the birth certificate. That being said it is clear (to me) that most of this noise is to frame him as the dreaded "other'. The President has a lot of real issues to deal with but the biggest problem he has is an ignorant America. People who are after all these years, still racist, gullible and lazy.
Perhaps someone can paint President Obama with white, purple, red, yellow, green, pink, orange. Any color but black or brown. Maybe then those persons out there that hate him because of the color of his skin, can be satisfied. No wonder we are the laughing stock of the world. And as for Trump, he is a total moron.
People our Government is just as Racist and cynical as the worst of any of you. If you think his information wasn't triple checked before he was allowed to throw his hat in you must be crazy.
Thank you, Washington Wire for posting four different times on this today. And for forgetting to post even once last week when a Republican Senator announced his scandal-induced resignation. You are fair. You are balanced. However, you are mostly working overtime to put the GOP back into the White House - and in charge of everything else - in 2012. We are all on to your little game.
Question: On this "Certificate of Live Birth" the age of Obama's mother was 18. So she was pregnant with Obama when she was 17? Were the parents married legally or not when this happened!! It is illogical why Obama refused to release this piece of paper for such a long time!! Looks like "fearless Trump" knew the trick to make Obama surrender!!!
it's like people would rather end america before they let a black man appear as the one who saved america.

So presidential of Trump. Maybe he should go on Wife Swap now - he certainly has the pedigree! I cannot imagine this bozo representing me or this country to the world. He should really stick to his audience - perhaps run for president of WWF
I am a white, middle-aged woman who admires Obama's intelligence, humor and stamina. More than anything I appreciate his acting like a grown-up. This is is probably the one factor(along with race) that gets him into the most "trouble" -- because so many Americans (on both the right and the left) aren't grown-ups themselves, they resort to all sorts of nonsense (on the right: he wasn't born in the U.S. or he's a socialist; on the left: he has left his principles to "die on the vine" of political pragmatism). By all means we don't have to agree with everything he does or doesn't do, but we really should GROW UP. It's not only really embarrassing, being childish in these ways is entirely unhelpful.
cheap politics from trump..find your way up..
Let's hear those conversations The Donald had with Howard Stern about his sex life. Let's hear them. What is Donald afraid of?
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"
Anyone born inside the United States *
Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.
Separate sections handle territories that the United States has acquired over time, such as Puerto Rico (8 USC 1402), Alaska (8 USC 1404), Hawaii (8 USC 1405), the U.S. Virgin Islands (8 USC 1406), and Guam (8 USC 1407). Each of these sections confer citizenship on persons living in these territories as of a certain date, and usually confer natural-born status on persons born in those territories after that date. For example, for Puerto Rico, all persons born in Puerto Rico between April 11, 1899, and January 12, 1941, are automatically conferred citizenship as of the date the law was signed by the President (June 27, 1952). Additionally, all persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, are natural-born citizens of the United States. Note that because of when the law was passed, for some, the natural-born status was retroactive.
Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child's birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence.

Investors Will Soon Be Stressing Growth Rather Than Euro-Zone's Stress Tests
"Europe will certainly overcome its difficulties," says Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, a man who should know a thing or two about how to get a tired old economy moving. "The poor old euro area has hardly got going," says David Owen, Chief European Financial Economist at Jefferies International, a man who has his finger on the pulse of the euro-zone economy.
It's not easy to come up with a definitive view of the state of things in the European economy (or economies, if you prefer a disaggregated view). One reason is that the powers-that-be issue studiedly optimistic reports about the progress being made to cope with the problems unleashed by the discovery that Greece had been economical with the truth in reporting its deficits.
Take the stress tests now being conducted on 91 banks in 20 countries, with the results, or at least some of them, to be published on Friday after the markets close. Somehow, before the results are in, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has divined that Europe's "banks are solid enough to resist shocks that could result from a state in crisis." Any shot big enough to matter — the heads of the European and Italian Central Banks among others — is equally confident that the banks will meet the still-secret soundness criteria set out in these still on-going tests. To his credit, Olli Rehn, European economic and monetary affairs commissioner, concedes that the stress tests might reveal "pockets of vulnerability."
There is some reason for optimism. The financial seas are undoubtedly calmer than they were a few months ago, in part because of backup financing that might be made available by newly established EU facilities. But a look ahead is hardly reassuring. For one thing, it is hard to imagine there will not be several shocks to an already stressed financial system. A partial default by Greece, unless or perhaps even if its €110 billion multilateral support package is renewed in 2012. Or more bad news about the state of the U.S. recovery. Or an uprising by German voters tired of financing the profligacy of their euroland colleagues. Or a conflagration in the Middle East if Israel decides to damage Iran's bomb-making facilities.
Such shocks are not the only worry. Europe's banks have to roll over some €1.5 trillion in debt by the end of 2012, and will be competing for investor favor with U.S. banks that must refinance $1.3 trillion, and sovereign governments that must raise billions more. It is one thing for investors to cough up the odd billion, as they did recently when they bought some short-term Greek debt (€1.625 billion of six-month Treasury bills at an average yield of 4.65%), and €3 billion of Spanish 15-year government bonds, albeit at high premiums. It is quite another to make trillions rather than billions available to these troubled financial institutions.
Indeed, banks in Spain and elsewhere have had to rely on the European Central Bank for funding. Spain's prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has tried to reassure markets by predicting that his economy will grow next year, and announcing, in another exercise in prescience, that the stress tests "will reestablish the confidence of capital markets, thus permitting the normalization of credit." Meanwhile, banks in several euro-zone countries have been frozen out of the interbank lending market, and the risk premium investors are demanding for lending money to Spain is at the highest level since 1999, when the euro replaced the peseta and other national currencies.
In the end, the stress tests will fade in importance as the summer passes, to be replaced by a more important factor: expectations concerning the performance of Europe's economy. Mr. Wen is among the optimists, and backed his words with a €400 million purchase of 10-year Spanish bonds, encouraged in part, he says, by the bounce in the euro.
But he is a special kind of investor. Like others, he has invested in euroland debt for a return that the market feels compensates for the risk. But unlike other investors, he gets three bonuses: political goodwill that he can spend when circumstances warrant; a stronger euro (boosted 6% say some analysts) that increases the value of China's massive euro holdings, guesstimated at €630 billion; and increased competitiveness of his country's exports in European markets.
Other, less-politicized investors have fewer reasons to hop on the pro-euro bandwagon. Both the Economist Intelligence Unit and Jefferies are guessing that overall area growth will come in at an uninspiring 0.7% and 0.8% this year and next, respectively, as austerity reduces demand and a stronger euro reduces exports. That makes debt service and repayment more difficult. So ordinary investors with none of the pluses available to Mr. Wen might demand sky-high rates in return for their cash, and certainly will if the stress tests prove to be as straightforward and transparent as Greek accounting practices have been.

Speechwriter for Weddings, Birthday Parties, Bar Mitzvahs / Comedy Writer
B.A., Art & Education, Lehman College, Bronx, New York
I have had great success writing speeches for weddings, birthday parties, and other events. They have a general humorous tone, but aren't too 'jokey'. And I like to end with a clever sentimental note.
We can personalize the jokes to your specific relatives and friends; tell me something about them, I'll give you a good, strong comedy line. Something like a Comedy Roast, but not as harsh.
I am an Orthodox Jew, so I can be extra helpful with Bat Mitzvah and Bar Mitzvah speeches.
liveperson.com is new to me, so I'm starting off charging a minimum price.
I've helped many people express themselves at family functions, and they've always been pleased with the result. Let me have a chance to do the same for you.
I have been a comedy writer for many years. I just finished eighteen years fulltime on the staff of The Tonight Show.

My husband and I enjoyed the elopement package, just the two of us; but, we both agreed, it is also a lovely place to invite family to enjoy the ranch as well. The ranch is truly an escape! The staff and owners of the ranch were very attentive and we felt very special in their hands. Highly, highly recommended!!

In Cool Reader v3.1.2-20 running on Android v4.0.4 (ICS), when I change the tap zone actions for the center zone, the changes are only effective until I exit the program. The next time I start the program, the actions have been reset to the default. I use a Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-i927) phone, which has hardware buttons, so I don't need a second way to access the menu and would prefer to use that tap zone for other purposes, as I could in older versions.
just came here to report this myself. centre Tao zone won't hold it's settings.
Vadim Lopatin
Fixed in 3.1.2-22
Now center tap zone will be overwritten only if there is no hardware menu button and no menu action assigned on any tap zone.

Helms has been out of office since 2003, and I don't think we've had an NEA controversy for a few years.
There was the case of the "NEA Four"--performance artists Karen Finley, Tim Miller, John Fleck, and Holly Hughes--who were awarded funding, but their funding was revoked in 1990. In court they were awarded compensation greater than their original grants in 1993. Not photography, but it might be what you're looking for.
Andres Serrano of "Piss Christ" fame received an NEA grant that was revoked, and also received an earlier grant from an organization that was partially funded by the NEA.
Chris Ofili, whom Jorge mentions for his portrait of the Virgin with elephant dung, is a British artist of African descent, so he wouldn't be an NEA candidate. The Brooklyn Museum may have received NEA funding, but as I recall, the controversy was over New York City funding for the museum, not the NEA, since it was driven by Rudolph Giuliani.

I think this is an epic failure for lancome and I don't say that easily, I am a devout Lancome lover but if you put your fancy pants name on crap...it's still crap. This wouldn't be that horrible if you picked it up at CVS for 8 bucks but when I'm shelling out 30 bucks and even worse dealing with the cosmetic counter vultures at the department store I expect way, way more. It clumps, does not lengthen, does not curl. It does build volume but no better than any product in the Loreal voluminous line. Lancome has delivered enough fantastic products that I will stick with them but if this had been my first experience with them I would've walked the 2 feet to clinique and never looked back.

Well I saw many negative reviews, but my opinion is that if you have small and not curly lashes, you can't expect the WOW effect from any mascara. My lashes are long, curly and black so when I put this mascara, my eyes really look like a doll eyes. For people with small lashes, I think it would be better an ordinary mascara, because it will give them more volume than the other mascaras. That is because of the brush (if I can say "brush"). The price is really big - 27EUR, but I really liked it, because I have sensitive eyes and it doesn't irritate my eyes. I would buy it again, but once more: if your lashes are short - you should try something else and less expencive, because it won't work for you. ;)

I ran out of mascara and purchased this product on impulse not having done some research in advance and boy do I hate it, yes it lengthens, yes it thickens but by no means does it last, however the panda eye smudge effect does ironically seem to last, there are better, cheaper mascaras out there and I will never purchase another Lancome mascara because of this disappointing baby, now excuse me while I furiously go searching reviews for a new mascara.. oh before this appalling purchase I was using the ByTerry mascara that I really loved and would highly rate.. the price tag is a bit ott however..

I received this product as a sample as well as 6 others and at first I was a big fan of the Hypnose Doll Lashes but after a while it made my lashes limp and boring. The mascara does not hold a curl and after not even 20 minutes it made my eyelashes limp and dull. The brush looks nice but doesn't work for me. I will not be buying the full size.

I received this as a sample at Sephora. This was my favorite mascara at first, but after just a week in a half it stopped working for me. I love how it covers all of my lashes perfectly and the brush is amazing as well, but now when I use it my lashes look great at first, but by the time I'm at the door they are limp and look dry. I have made other samples last much longer, so I don't feel that is the reason. When I first received this and fell in love I searched on Sephora web site to purchase it, but the price is outrageous. It should work a bit better for that pricing. I'll stick with Dior Show. It's consistent and costs me less.

I picked this up at my Post Exchange at 22.50 USD. I have had my eye on it for awhile and finally give in and I'm glad I did.
It comes in a really pretty, classy black tube with like a floral and ivory pattern and has the name on the cap.
The wand is a cone shape with the smallest part at the end of the wand making it easy to get into the inner corner of your eyes while the larger end of the brush fans out and separates the lashes on the outer corner.
The formula is a tad drier than your average mascara but I tend to like drier mascaras versus wet ones. This mascara is virtually not able to clump on my lashes no matter how many coats I put on.
I have fairly oily skin and eyelids and this mascara doesn't flake or smudge on me throughout the day. I'm also a contact lens wearer and this doesn't irritate my eyes either.
With a combination of the cone brush and the clump free, drier formula I feel like this mascara really does give me big, doll-like lashes. I love it and will definitely repurchase it when it runs out.
*Update: after finishing my tube, I have decided to explore other options. I did like this mascara but I also like to try new things constantly. I might repurchase but I might not with all the new things on the market all the time*

The brush is awkward. The formula weighs my lashes down and flakes as the day wears on. Terrible. I'm glad I had a sample size because there is no way I would buy this.

Got it in some kind of gift box, and was looking forward to try it. Unfortunately, it did disappoint me. It's just.... not good, and besides that, it's expensive too. I wouldn't buy this. However - the packaging is pretty haha

Got it as a sample, wasn't too impressed.
Kind of clumpy, heavy, and greasy. Added a fair amount of drama but gave a lot of clumps and it also seemed to weigh down my lashes. Additionally, the bottom mascara seemed to smear.
I've used much better formulas for cheaper.

If someone were to ask me what company consistently makes the best mascaras on the U.S. market, my answer would almost certainly be Lancome. Having tried this mascara, though, I might think twice about that answer, because this is frankly one of the worst mascaras I have ever tried. CoverGirl Lash Blast has it beat by a mile (or two), along with several other mascaras at various price points, including Lancome's other offerings. I am not so sure just what made this mascara so clumpy from the very first day I opened the tube to the day I threw it away in frustration, but the clump factor made it a true nightmare to deal with...and it wasn't helped by the shape of the brush, which I would describe as a little pine tree (Lancome says it's "cone-shaped"). The brush just doesn't worth well with this overly thick mascara formula, leading to clumps galore. In its defense, I can say that this mascara does not run or flake, and it's a nice dark black. That's where the compliments end.

The G3 Targa Ascent Telemark Binding—less leg fatigue, less binding wrestling, more fresh tracks.
With the G3 Targa Ascent Telemark Binding, you'll be powering through backcountry hikes and steep powder descents. When in touring mode, the Ascent Binding's toe plate pivots on a stainless steel axle to promote a natural and efficient stride, and a pole-activated climbing heel pops up easily, so you're not left behind as you wrestle with climbing wires. Once you're ready for the descent, simply flick the front switch to convert the lightweight Targa Ascent Telemark Binding from tour to ski mode. As you snorkel through the pow, a sturdy retention bar secures this G3 binding in place, and the compression spring cartridges give you power and control.
Share your thoughts
Lightweight setup, does not hold up to much
I have skied this binding for two seasons now. They were alright my first season, but now I am using a new pair of boots (BD Seeker), and have broke two cables and a third is almost ready to pop. it was not on the same foot, or even in the same place. One foot broke at the hinge point by the toe piece, the other broke at the point going into the cartridge. The third one is stressed above the toe piece by the hinge point.
Tension was checked at the local shop, both guys said it felt just fine. Not sure what the issue, if the boot / binding pairing just does not work or what. I do not have much faith with them in the back country now.
I've had these bindings for 3 seasons now and I've had no problems ever. I usually destroy my skis and bindings buy these have held up day after day. Never replaced a cable, or broke anything. It's time to replace my cables finally as I've worn through the rubber sheath and starting to fray the cable but really, I have no complaints whatsoever. They just work like they're supposed to. Great on ascents, no noises and solid on the hairiest of descents. Maybe I got a good batch but these are the best cable bindings I've ever had.
Aluminum Ascent breaks
If you buy these, get the stainless steel ones, not the aluminum ones. Today my right binding plate split as I was kneeling to put on the left ski. As it split, it also pulled out one of the front mounting screws from the plastic binding frame/riser, busting this part, too. I am only 5'5", 132 ills, and 65 y.o. In 55 years skiing only once before have I broken a binding, and guess what: also a G3. That one was a stainless steel G3 Targa (not the ascent) mounted on XC skis. The rivets which attach the cross bar to the main plate had inadequeate heads and pulled free. G3 replaced that binding. My skiing buddy breaks G3 cables. Not reliable.

Serious icing problems
These were my first tele bindings that have the touring mode. I love the idea of it but the switch to change them to ski mode always ices up. My last tour it was perfect powder and I had to ski down in tour mode because a was unable to switch over. I've tried just about everything from silicone spray, to wd40, to pouring water over them. I will not ever buy another pair!
If you have some hot tea.... Pouring that over the front will probably work to loosen it. PLus you have to poke the ice out of the little connector under the plate with a knife, or something. It's devilish when you start off with fairly warm temps aNd go up into the alpine where it's colder. Next BC trip I'm going to try bringing a little bottle of antifreeze to spray on it. Oughta fix it quick. It's a real pain though, Poor design, and potentially risky. Hope this helps a bit.
Cilmbing beast!
I've had the Ascents for four years now and have logged on almost a hundred ski days with them. No mechanical failures and the bindings still function like new. I ski about 70% backcountry and 30% resort (hey, gotta practice turns before hitting the couloirs) and although they don't look beefy, they've always responded beautifully when dropping some parallel turns on steep terrain. I'm driving these with G3 Reverends (93mm waist) and Scarpa T2X...pretty mainstream. Yes, on my version, the heel lifts would fall down occasionally, but there's a counterintuitive fix: lubricate the heel pivot joint with some bike chain oil. then the elastic can oversome the friction of the joint and will stay in the contracted (up) position.
Ascent with grief
Bought my ascents three seasons ago and just got tired of the heel climber collapsing every few steps. Haven't used them since 09. Just what you want in your gear... hassels. Leave these alone until they figure out the obvious. Someone at G3 should take up telemark skiing...
A million problems and a fix for each one
They break all the time. "Just carry extra cables!"
There's rocker launch. "You can get a wedge!"
They're not very powerful. "It must be your boots!"
They ice up. "Just carry a knife!"
They're squeaky as hell. REEE REEE REEE every turn. "oh come on you get used to it"
Howbout you just buy bindings that don't suck?
It'll Do For Now
I had wanted to get a touring Tele binding for about two seasons and found them necessary to have once I moved to the Rockies of Colorado. I only have one season under the belt on these bindings and have snapped a cable already. They do ice up pretty easy when in touring/ free pivot mode. The cables rub a bit on the toe end as it comes off the edge. But overall they have done the job but I won't be getting another pair on any ski I purchase in the future.
where do you get the metal plate that locks...
where do you get the metal plate that locks the heel lifter into climbing mode? Is there way to switch the heel lifter from high climbing mode to low mode without taking off the ski?
Call up G3 or send them a message and they might be able to send some out to you. The lifter heal just flips back down, I use my ski pole to push it back down.
Not Happy with these in the SIerras
I am 6'1" weight 200 and ski t2 boots on Rossignol T4 skis. I have 3 continually recurring problems with these bindings.
1. Freezing up. I have tried H20-Proof grease, & white lithium grease to keep the ice from clogging 2 locations in this binding. Both ice up way too often.
Location A: Icy build up in front of the latch which moves forward to lock the binding in downhill mode. Location B: icy built up between the bar and the bottom of the toe plate that the latch moves into. Between those 2 locations, I almost never get to the top of a mtn without having to kick off my skis to dig out the ice.
Complaint #2 The climbing lifts don't stay up. These climbing lift fall back down way too easy. When there is lots of heavy snow falling on the ski while climbing steep slope, I often can't get more than 5-10 steps without the climbing lift falling down.
Complaint #3. I am only on my 2nd season of using these binding and the joint which enable the toe to pivot is getting loose. I can wiggle the bindings left<->right way more than I like. It is also a little loose in the vertical direction. It makes me nervous that it will fail soon.
Quick question. Sell my Targa G3 ascents...
Quick question.
Sell my Targa G3 ascents and buy the 22 Designs Hammerhead?
Targa g3 ascents are barely used...
If you bought the Ascents from backcountry.com, you should return 'em for a full refund, and get some
Axls (for touring) or Hammerheads (resort mostly.) You will not regret it.
^^ same thoughts, g3 tele bindings are junk...

Broken cables for birthday.
I broke three cables on these bindings in less than a season. My spring pre-tension wasn't too tight, so that's not what did it. I have size 29.5 boots, and routed the cable straight through the toe box. I think this might be the issue. After the third cable broke on my birthday, I talked to the guys at 22 Designs. I was working at Targhee at the time and they hooked me up. Best bindings ever. The change was incredible. My first day skiing on Hammerheads forever changed my skiing for the better.
It's not that G3's are terrible, it's just that the Hammerheads are soooo much better. Don't even mess around with anything else. Hammerheads all the way!
Anyone have much experience with this...
Anyone have much experience with this binding as a predominantly front-side binding? How does the lateral stability compare to other bindings (e.g., a Hammerhead)? I am looking for a binding to give as a gift to an intermediate telemark skier that rarely ventures outside of the resort.
I would suggest trying a simpler binding first. The lateral stability is good, similar to hammerhead or any other cable system but not as good as say an NTN system. Tons of people use them on piste, never heard a complaint.. The touring function however puts the toe fairly high above the ski and will compromise a bit of edge stability especially with an intermediate skier. The basic G3 targa or BD 02 might be a better
Lateral stability is not even close to a Hammerhead. Get hammerheads and use them in Position 3. As you get better, try 4 and 5. Hammerheads are lighter, too. Hammerheads will take you to new level in your skiing. They won't disappoint. I can't say enough to tell you what a superior binding the HH is to the Ascent. If you want broken cables and floppy heels, get the Ascent. If you want to caharge hard, lay out smooth lines with confidence and style, then get the Hammerhead or Axl.
So I got these bindings and mounted them...
So I got these bindings and mounted them on an older pair of tele skis. Just recently I went out and bought some bad new BD's...which I mounted the old bindings on. Now I want to switch the bindings back and forth between the skis. Is this possible? Or will it compromise the structure of the ski. Should I re-fill the holes with wood glue every time I switch the bindings?
This is NOT something i would recommend doing. if this is something you truly wanting to do i would look for mounting plates and then switch with those. all this said, i would make a choice. have one ski you want to tour on and one ski you want to ski in bounds.
You can switch the bindings a few times, if you are very careful to not strip the threads (maybe 2-3 times before the threading is toast). I would NOT use wood glue, but rather use epoxy. Wood glue just does not hold as well and rots out with repeated water exposure. Epoxy is a pain in the ass when you need to change the binding (you must head the screw heads), but it will hold much better than wood glue.
Don't mount skis using epoxy. It will make pulling the screws out much harder when you want to put those binders on another ski. It won't make it so that you can switch bindings repeatedly. Also, using epoxy won't lessen the chances of a binding ripping out in the event of a serious fall/crash, etc. Every shop tech I've talked to says wood glue is enough. All you're trying to achieve with glue is to keep moisture from getting in the core and rotting it out. Wood glue is better for that than epoxy.
Buy Voile Switchbacks
These are not my first choice for free pivot bindings. I thought these bindings were ok until I skied the Voile Switchbacks they are far and away better then the Ascents.
Ok, but why do you prefer the Switchbacks? I heard the metal rods help to transfer more power the the skis on the downhill, but is this sufficient when choosing a touring binding? I look at the Switchbacks and I find they look... cheap. They don't seem to pivot smoothly at all on tour mode, and the ski/tour mechanism seems like it will "switch back" to tour mode while I'm skiing down.
Better Yet. Switchback X2. Check out this review: http://www.earnyourturns.com/6956/voile-switchback-x2/
less than stellar
The first season I had my G3 Targa Ascents, I was a girl in love. The switch from touring mode to ski mode occurred without a hitch and I loved the freedom of the full pivot binding- genius!
Little did I know the honeymoon would end in season #2. This season these bindings have frozen up, gotten stuck, and have been a pain to switch into ski mode on almost every single tour I've done. One tour I was forced to ski parallel down in tour mode because the switch was so completely jammed. Now the knife I carry is more for chipping ice/soft snow out of the bindings than for slicing cheese at lunch.
It makes me wish I bought the BD bindings, unless someone has a tip out there for making the slide mechanism less susceptible to freeze.
Write your comment here...Dear Kathleen, do not despair! Like you I had more than annoying trouble with my ascent bindings icing up. The can opening tool on my knife was the essential tool to switch from climb to ski. I still carry my knife but never us it on my bindings. In my work we commonly use dry lubricants to protect the performance of running hardware on boats. These lubricants are safe on plastic or metal and are designed to enhance the working characteristics between them. The product I prefer is marketed by the Harken company its named Mclube. Its available in a small spray can handy in the wax bag for travel. I did carry this with me all season fearing the dread freeze up which never came. This single treatment at the beginning of last year endured early trips to our beloved Olympics (strangest snow on earth),to a three week trip in the Kooteneys, and then a spring finish in the Cascades. You can see that the remedy worked in all kinds of conditions and temperatures. So do not shop for new bindings,(sorry backcountry)! Mclube is also known as "sailcoat". You can obtain Mclube at most marine hardware stores wherever Harken gear is sold. It is very popular in dingy racing. If you are having trouble finding it I can send it to you. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com . This should solve in my opinion the only major complaint against the G3 ascent binding. As my canadian friends would say "Enjoy".
Has G3 fixed the problem with the heel...
Has G3 fixed the problem with the heel lifter from falling down when hiking? Ascent binding.
Yes, they have a metal plate included that allows the heel lifter to "Snap" in place which prevents it from falling.
I have the version with the metal plate. My left heel lifter still falls down when hiking in deep snow. Anyone got a solution?
Is there a womens and mens version of this...
Is there a womens and mens version of this binding?
No. In order to make the cables shorter for shorter boots you can loop them underneath the toe-plate.
Yes there is - It's called Targa Ascent Elle, in a nice green color.

Check out "Operation Immediate response" for proof enough of USA complicity. Take a look and make your own mind up!. This seems a Cold War return over Oil, always Oil. Cuts the Russians off from Iran as well. This is interesting as Russia had an alliance, although much under reported that they would help Iran if they were attacked.
