It's not about his birth, it's about his race

for most of us on the right it was never about race but about his shady corrupt friends, connections and associates. his attendance for most of his adult life in a church led by a bigoted racist wacko. his lack of transparency and his inexperience and inability to lead the greatest country in the world.

Not only is it about his race, but also about actively and anti-patriotically railing against anything that isnt pro huge business. I agree that Obama has kept WAY TOO MANY of bush's old people and programs running, I also agree that at least he is fighting, and its very hard when anything liberal thats positive is never seen in todays media which makes it more difficult to gain steam with the public, and even more difficult for me to swallow is that he is a massively terrible negotiator with the right wing fanatics. "ok so heres 80% now lets negotiate" ??!?!?!? Obama has his faults, and they are: Not listening to his base, not fighting tooth and nail for public option, etc.. So his problems are not being more hardcore liberal.

I'll envy the day when we can get past the racist accusations.

"On October 28, 2010, TSA announced a new screening technique entitled 'enhanced pat downs' in which security personnel will be using the front of their hands to pat down the torso on the sides of the body, down the chest and under the breast. If you plan on traveling through Boston or Las Vegas, expect an enhanced pat down."

New Policy started under the Obama Administration

Obama is clearly not concerned about women being molested at these horrible checkpoints.

The Obama Administration is also planning to expand such plans to Americas streets.

THE BLACK MAN WON. GET OVER IT ALREADY!

I just hope the term 'afterbirthers' catches on.
These people need to be humiliated big time!

You can lead a tea bagger to water but you have to drown them in it to prove it is in fact water. (Troy Gittings).

It is not about race. He is an unknown.
We don't know where he was born
We don't know anything about his mother.
We don't know anything about his father.
We don't know anything about his stepfather
We don't know anything about his grandmother
We don't know anything about his aunt
We don't know what he did before he became a senator.
We don't know where he went to school.
We don't know his race.
We don't know his religion
We don't know what church he attends.
We don't know how much money he has.
We don't know where he grew up.
We don't know what countries he has traveled to.
We don't know how he feels about his country.
We don't know what kind of beer he drinks.
We don't know how he likes his burgers.
We don't know anything about his children.
We don't know anyone who has associated with him
We don't know if he is smart enough to edit the Harvard Law Review
We don't know how he voted in the Senate
We don't even know if he can write
We don't know if he can talk without a teleprompter
We don't know shit

It's not like his life is an open book or anything. I guess you have to be one of those elitist, educated, literate types in order to find out that information.

Of course it's about race and the GOP have been happy to let Donald Trump take the lead because he is not really going to run and they can hide behind him. Donald Trump has done his job for the GOP in making older white voters fear the black President in the White House, while at the same time distracting them about the GOP's proposal to dismantle medicare and medicaid. I believe that the President released his birth certificate because the MSM were spending too much time on this side show rather than reporting the protest in the townhall meetings in Republican ridings.

Surprise Surprise Surprise......

If Obama is not a citizen, He would have had to pull one over on the FBI, the CIA, NCA, and host of other alphabet agency. If he's done that then the entire Bush Administration should be charged with treason for not protecting America. I really don't care if people are racist you have that right in America, but lets call it what it is OK.

Of course it's always been about race. That's why the tea baggers would shout "We want our country back!" Their country back? What that really meant was "We don't want that black man in the WH!" Same with their stupid "Don't Tread on Me" flags. Who is treading on them? Example. One of the houses I clean, their neighbor has 2 flags hanging on from their tree. One is the American flag, the other is a "Don't Tread on Me" flag. First, who is treading on them? They still have their McMansion and their money. Second, they really shouldn't have both flags flying together. It should be one or the other because flying the American flag represents our government (which they hate) as well as our country. Idiots.

Its always been about race.

"I guess it is lost on this writer that Bush had to undergo a fair amount of scrutiny to prove he was eligible for the presidency as well,..."

And there will always be those questions, if for no other reason than English was not Mad King George III's first language.

Some people cant just accept the fact that a black guy is the President of USA
The fact that America is falling is not helping either.

They are unconsciously looking for the responsible for this mess and they are been manipulated by the media that is the "radical fact-hiding Obama" the one responsible.

All that, when the real responsible are hiding.

Americans' greatest fear (by far) in life is to be called a "racist." Even though they know they are not racist, they just can't bear the thought of being called one. You can take their jobs away, ravage their savings through inflation, foreclose upon their home, screw their children's future, trash the memory of their great ancestors (especially the WWII generation)... they will take all that. But they just can't stand the mere thought of (falsely) being accused of racism. And so, they'd rather jeopardize the future of their children... And that's why we have a marxist radical in the WH. Americans somehow wanted to "prove" something. The crowds in 2008 were utterly irrational.

There is one stupid thing Europeans would never have done: they would never have given the most powerful job in their nations to a total unknown with a shady past, a complete lack of experience and questionable friends and acquaintance... not in a million years.

What's he hiding? Everything about him is cloaked in fairy tale narratives and lies. He is the President. He serves us. We demand to know. We must continue to call him out on it.

The media, in the greatest act of perfidy, did not vet our candidate. Never will we trust them again. They are the propaganda wing for the uber left.

And this is the thing, they know that those transcripts could destroy the "myth" they created. This is precisely why the BC was released as soon as Trump started talking about Obama's school records. They knew then they were in trouble. It's one thing to mock people for asking for a BC ("birthers") it's another to ridicule someone for asking for something as simple as academic records. Really? What's the big deal?

Now, by releasing the BC they can say, "All right, enough is enough... you wanted the BC, you got it. Let's move on now. Let's stop with this silliness... blah blah blah."

Trump needs to continue going after the fraud-in-chief

Oh for Pete's sake. Here we go once again with the 'race' thing. There are dozens of questions about Barak Obama that have never been answered. We know less about him and what he did in the past than any president in history. He has brought many of the questions on himself by his refusal to allow us to know about him. He, himself, has made it seem that he has something to hide. Why else would he refuse to turn over his school records, university records, state bar records, even his Senate records and schedules, health records and any any other information that we, as citizens, have the right to know about our President? HE's the one who has made us question exactly who he is. It has nothing to do with race for most Americans. We DO know the radicals he hung out with in the past, but he passes it off like it was nothing.

Race? Balogna.

I guess it is lost on this writer that Bush had to undergo a fair amount of scrutiny to prove he was eligible for the presidency as well, not only with the vote fraud with both elections, but also with his military records, questions about his drug use companies he had bankrupted, his Harvard school records among other things.

Are we to say that it was because he was white that he faced such scrutiny? No, it's completely laughable to play the race card.

See the problem with Obama is the total lack of transparency, even though that was one of his key campaign pledges. I'm not defending Bush but at least the White House made most of his records public, whereas the Obama White House has kept Obama's records sealed.

Hell yes it's about race...it's Always been about race. Nobody ever gave a squat where he was born, only about being born black. I knew this as soon as he announced his run for Prez.We white people are so predictablly bigoted.

No other President has been forced to defend his citizenship, EVER. This is one thing, and one thing only - the fact that he is a black man with a non white / Muslim scary like name. I'm not sure how much more obvious it can be with Donald Dump questioning how he got into Harvard other than because he was black. Donald Dump is the face of racial bigotry and hatred and the more he speaks, the more ugly vile toxin spews out.

It's not about his race but it sure is about everything else. You guys are really getting geared up for the 2012 election. The lies of "racism" are already being raised. I bet the proponents of victimhood will brand as racist anyone who runs against BHO on the theory that merely wanting a different president qualifies as racism.

I agree, it's about his race. No other president in the history of the United States has had to put up with this kind of bull shit. Past Presidents have been grilled about their programs, their economic, social views even their wars, but NEVER whether they were a legitimate US citizen. This attack, at such a base level strikes not at what Obama does, but who he is. Sadly this idea came out of Hillary Clinton's campaign. But it was elevated to the height of insanity by tea baggers, mental lightweights like Palin and Trump along with Faux News and a good number of GOP congressmen. Oh yeah, and he was a liberal too.

America is brimming over with bigotry and hatred and still refuses to acknowledge it. I don't have any illusions we ever will.

I'm pretty sure it's not about any of these things, it's about the fact that he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy.

This is the only reason that it's an issue at all.

Republican playbook: Distract masses with stuff that doesn't matter, like concern over gay marriage and whether Barack Obama is a Muslim/citizen.

You know, I remember when the democrats complained about the fact that the 2000 election was rigged, and wanted to investigate... a real issue of great concern.

The Republican response? We don't need this in our country right now, we have bigger things to worry about. The country needs a leader.*

* Even if he wasn't fairly elected.

It's not about his race it's about the current direction of the country, which incidentally is the same course of direction prior to his election.

If you keep key members of the previous administration, such as the Fed Reserve Chaiman and the Defense Secretary, plus a gaggle of the same kind of plutocrats as before, you can't expect much change.

But sure, let's play the race card and avoid the issues.
