Well, the President actually put an end to the birth certificate silliness. Thank you President Obama. After a campaign in 2008, in which all in the media portrayed Obama as a messianic figure, we discover via a birth certificate that he was born on Earth after all. In fact, he was born in the state of Hawaii, and raised by a family of devoted communists. More importantly, Obama the mere mortal, has lost a very powerful straw man. He is no longer going to be able to fight against the single dumbest non issue when ever anybody points out that he is the single worst President in our Republic’s proud history.
Let’s recap his term so far. The middle east is in flames, and the Muslim Brotherhood has moved from being a fringe outlawed group of fanatics operating in 80 countries to being the thugs in charge of two of the top oil producers in the world, and we are helping them in at least two other places. Thanks Barak! Our economy is in a shambles with our creditors announcing that they are going to put us on a spending diet, while we quibble over raising our own meaningless debt limit, as if that is our decision anymore anyhow. Thanks Barak! We have just seen the most cynical political maneuvering in history to pass another entitlement law guaranteed to wreak havoc on our economy for multiple generations and at the same time will destroy the world’s greatest medical care system. Thanks Barak! He has turned our national defense capabilities into a tool for tin pot despots around the world and outsourced our sovereignty to the United Nations. Thanks Barak! Think for a moment my fellow conservatives, shouldn’t that be the national narrative, and not what planet this boob was born on? Unemployment remains at unnecessarily high numbers thanks to the onerous regulation of an executive branch run amok. Thanks Barak! Gas has hit $4 per gallon on its quick rise to $5 per gallon, largely due to Obama’s regulatory war against anyone who works in that industry. Thanks Barak!
I will say, that I find it amazing that it took another colorful character like, “The Donald,” to get him to drop this bomb on us prior to his previous release date which was October of 2012. While I wouldn’t vote for Trump as dog catcher, not because of his fighting spirit, which I love. (I question Trump’s conservative bonafides, in that he has been a conservative for less time than Colin Powell has been a liberal.) Think about this for a moment. Our President held a press conference to answer the idiotic charges proffered by a reality television show host. Trump has done something which not a single Republican Politician has been able to do at any time. He made Barak Obama account for himself. Now, if we could only make Barak Obama account for himself on something of substance. That would be a real trick.
My fear has always been that real issues would fall by the way side as we indulge our national attention deficit disorder. We have very real problems facing us, which are infinitely worse now than they were 30 months ago. These problems were caused by a creeping lurch towards Socialism since Woodrow Wilson was President. We are faced with some hard choices. Which direction will we take in the future? Barak Obama’s birth certificate is the least important thing to be discussing right now, followed by our own view of our debt ceiling as a close second.
I saw this question as a suggestion for a bumper sticker yesterday:
“If you were going to destroy America, would you do anything different than what Barak Obama has done as President?”
Maybe the way I phrased it is a bit long for a bumper sticker, but I think the point is valid. This, and not the place of his birth should be what we are talking about.
