Today we have reached a low point in American politics. After a huge frenzy of a non-traversy, enabled by a lazy media, Barack Obama released the Holy Grail of birth certificates, the long form birth certificate. It proved what we’ve known all along, Obama was born in Hawai’i.
He also gave a press conference where he expressed puzzlement at the issue, but wanted to move on. He also said the controversy was the work of “carnival barkers.” My twitter stream is divided between people who think Obama’s move was madness or genius. What do you think?
The most nauseating thing is media coverage of Trump taking credit for “ending” the non-troversy and then demanding Obama’s college grades. We all know what’s next – RWNJs “proving” that the certificate is fake, saying he doesn’t deserve his Harvard degree and discussing whether Obama has had brain surgery. It never ends.
