Its healthy but America has been cloaked in political correctness for so long that we forgotten how refreshing direct dialogue can be. It is good that someone is challenging (double/triple checking) our leaders resume' and I include pols from all parties. Finally please do yourselves a favor, just because someone does not like Obama doesn't mean they are racist. Remember, he is half white. I would cast my vote for Thomas Sowell in a New York second but would never consider Obama nor would I Palin and I like her. Lighten up we are all friends in the end....  |
In today's America there is no such thing as 'verboten' questions. Don't credit someone as shallow as Trump with the courage to ask what others won't. In this case other legitimate candidates (eg. Mitt Romney) wouldn't touch this particular question because it is simply dumb and inflammatory. Until the birth certificate issue was finally addressed it was simply a way for someone like Trump to get attention, appeal to those less educated or caring about politics, those who simply hate people for reasons "whatever" and those who are racists. Yes, racism was a part of this issue and the President's mixed race has made him a target of the hatred of mny people. The great tragedy in America is that there are so many who hate, are ignorant of basic facts and who vote for the most superficial reasons, that some candidates can exploit and ride this bloc to victory.
