"Birther" Controversy
To me it is who was gaurding the hen house. Who let the foxes in to begin with. I am sure he had to make an application to run. Who is suppose to check this shit. FBI, CIA, Homeland security? This should be a none issue.
In marriage there is always one person right. And the other one is the husband.
It's ...
a) kind of insane to begin with because the validity of the claim is questionable, at best (unless someone's holding back some incriminating shit) AND
b) so far past the point of time when contesting something like this is even worthwhile

As for the birther controversy, I thought it was odd in the beginning when this should have been conclusively determined and the MSM, who at the time couldn't crawl far enough up Obama's ass, were oddly silent on the issue. Something was wrong. Does that mean I don't think he's an American citizen? No, but I do believe they were hiding something.
The problem is that we're now well past the point where it matters.
I always thought instead of focusing on where he was born, his opponents should have been focusing on the Islamic influences in his life, his anti-American culture friends and associates, and his lack of respect for women.

He was conclusively nailed with connections to Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers, but that didn't matter at all.Leisher wrote:I always thought instead of focusing on where he was born, his opponents should have been focusing on the Islamic influences in his life, his anti-American culture friends and associates, and his lack of respect for women.

It mattered, and I remember his poll numbers dropping. The problem is that it was forgotten. The MSM refused to give it as much coverage as they should have, and the other side never pressed the issue. How did this not come up during a national debate? Obama was either lying or admitting that he was too stupid to pick up on hate speech over a 20 year period.

What bugged me about the last election was, besides the fact Obama's weaknesses were completely ignored and 'community organizer' was all the experience he really needed, was that Palin got slammed so hard. I always have to pause for a moment to remember who our VP is named, but I know Palin, her husbands name, how many kids she has, some of their names, how many have genetic diseases, what her husband did for a living, her wardrobe budget during the election, and on and on. No modern politician was persecuted as much as she has been, including, IMO, george bush.

Admittedly, she's an idiot
Agreed.
Although Gordon's point is correct. You'd have to be a blithering idiot to have watched the last presidential election and come away thinking the MSM is unbiased.
The MSM got Obama elected.

My absolutely favorite piece of cognitive dissonance during the last election was that Palin didn't have enough experience to be a VP because all she had been was a state governor, but Obama had enough experience to be President because he spent a partial term in the legislature, and was a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.
We're all regretting that vast experience, now.

Well.
Remember the Bush Guard memo?
Anyway, what do they call the conspiracy theory that Sarah Palin didn't really have that last baby, and was covering for her daughter? "Birther" is already taken.
Oh wait, we can't mock that situation because it is a republican and might be true.

Anyway, I never really cared, but it really isn't the White House's job to say NO when Americans want to check the legal validity of their elected officials.
