This latest move (to release the "long form"), I guarantee you, won't silence these loonies any more than that did. Here's just one sample from some moron commenting on an editorial in my hometown newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal:<br /><br />"Typical obumma south side Chicago, under the table, dirty politics. The more lies you tell, the more the public begins to believe it. That's why obumma didn't like the constant call for him to produce a forged birth certificate."<br /><br />Even the leader of the loons, Donald Trump, says he needs to examine the certificate for its authenticity.<br /><br />Equating the birthers with the people who think Elvis is alive or that Dick Cheney bombed the WTC himself is reasonable only to the extent that they're all equally delusional. But they represent distinctly different segments of their total populations. Fully 41% of all Republicans believe Obama was either probably or definitely born outside the United States. That's not just some fringe element; the Republicans and others who share their opinion represent 27% of the total American population.<br /><br />That's insane. What does that say about us as a country?<br /><br />I agree we have many more pressing problems. Obama does, too, and he's not the one making an issue of this.John in Lafayettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-61968818566976319112011-04-28T12:42:55.425-04:002011-04-28T12:42:55.425-04:00The only thing that "forced" the Preside...The only thing that "forced" the President to do yesterday that which he should have done more than three years ago was the fact that he was making more news than his proposals. He has no one to blame for that except himself. The people that think he was born in Kenya are a subset of the people that think Elvis is still alive or that Dick Cheney personally carried four or five tons of thermite up each of the twin towers on the morning of 9/11. Both sides have their "Birthers" read some of the Left wing conspiracy blogs if you doubt that. Then there is the head of a major religious sect that speaks of "visiting the space people up in their UFO"! What is a birth certificate or not next to stuff like that?<br /><br />So now that the President has thrown down on his critics can we please focus the news people on something a little more important like the looming bankruptcy of the whole country?<br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
