I'm not to impressed with Obama's policies, but come on, playing the broken birther record gets old and frankly that tune is overplayed and it sucks from the get go. It honestly detracts from sound arguments against his re-election. If you cant articulate a persuasive argument against the man thats one thing...so instead of trying to come up with something persuasive, I guess its ok to revert into ignorance and yell out as loud as you can that he's a Kenyan, ie black and he cant provided his birth certificate ie not one of us...a foreigner.
+1. I will take it at face value when posters here say they are not racist when they raise this issue. But even if unintentional, accusations that the duly elected president of this country is a non-native Kenyan sure sound racist (otherwise, why is Kenya even being mentioned? No one has questioned whether Arnold Schwarznegger should be governor of CA because his native country was Hitler's ally in WWII). More to the point, for better or worse, we got past the 2000 election - which raised in a much more direct way whether Bush sould have been the sitting president. If you don't like the way Obama is running BATF, or his gun policies, or the new health care bill, or whatever - well, then challenge him on the merits. But to raise the birther issue in connection with a BATF snafu/coverup in Mexico seems really misplaced to me.
Time to move on to the real issues, folks.
