Why, Really, Is Donald Trump on a Birther Tour?
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsIs he for real? Donald Trump, who appears at times to be flirting with the idea of a 2012 presidential run, is taking an enthusiastic spin around the block with the birther movement, demanding to see President Barack Obama's birth certificate and claiming that the president may have been born outside the United States. And no one seems to be quite sure why. The Donald's birther media tour began on ABC's "The View" last week, when the New York real estate tycoon turned reality TV star questioned Obama's citizenship. "Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?" Trump asked, echoing a fringe ...

Vivian Schiller: 5 Facts on NPR's Departing CEO
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsNPR usually just reports the news. But today NPR itself is the hot topic. CEO Vivian Schiller has resigned after NPR was caught up in a sting executed by James O'Keefe, the conservative activist who has made his name by using undercover videos to expose what he considers to be liberal institutions. In a new video, NPR fundraising executive Ronald Schiller (no relation to the now-departed CEO) spoke disdainfully of the Republican Party and the tea party.

Opinion: Empty Words from Both Sides on the Debt
By not in system - AOL NewsLast month the Congressional Budget Office reported that Social Security had begun running permanent budget deficits. Medicare is facing future budget shortfalls larger than the entire budgets of most countries. In response to this looming crisis, President Barack Obama's 2012 budget proposes to ... talk about it. This gave Republicans an opportunity to seize control of the agenda and demonstrate that their new-found commitment to fiscal discipline was more than simple hostility to Planned Parenthood or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Given this chance, Republicans chose to ... ...
Son Says Reagan Would See Today's GOP as 'Mean-Spirited and Stupid'
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- If President Ronald Reagan were alive to celebrate his 100th birthday this week, "he would be disturbed by the level of vitriol" coming from his own Republican party. He also would be "furious" at recent GOP efforts to block an arms control treaty with Russia given that eliminating nuclear weapons was a signature issue he cared deeply about. So says his youngest child, Ron Reagan, in an interview with AOL News. An unapologetic liberal whose new memoir, "My Father at 100," has mostly garnered attention for the revelation that his father may have shown early signs of ...
Opinion: State of the Union -- Boffo Smash or Miserable Flop?
By Will Durst - AOL NewsOnce again, in terms of political theater, President Barack Obama has managed to flummox both critics and angels alike. Reviews of his State of the Union address have been more mixed than a Kansas Cuisinart stuck in a tornado on puree. Notwithstanding the ritualistic 79 applause breaks by his Geek Chorus, the production could best be described as a work in progress. Nowhere near Pulitzer Prize Luncheon territory; but not destined for a trip to Joe Allen's flop wall either. Think "Tony & Tina's Wedding" with added intellectual posturing. Producers of the rival big show in town, "Burning Down ...
