It doesn't even matter where he was born. The issue is the people of the United States. This is one of those circumstances where I think most people are idiots.
They expect the President, any President, to make huge changes. A President can rarely do that. Yes, over time, presidential power has increased, but it's still not nearly as strong as that of Congress. Yet people still vote for the presidency with the idea that their candidate will make changes that really require the Congress to enact.
Why do people forget the basic powers and functions of the elected branches of our government? Why? It sickens me and it saddens me and it angers me. It makes me sometimes seriously consider a test be required before anyone is allowed to vote.
FUCK!

That's your bottom line? You may want to bring evidence for it then.

Attacking Obamas many faults is more effective than reviving discredited lunacy.
