To put it another way, our nation’s leaders calculated politically rather than truly attempting to make his eligibility indisputable. There’s nothing spurious about this controversy — it’s founded on rock solid reporting; it’s time tested. Our nation’s leaders failed us. You can blame the man on the street all you like. Who is supposed to be the leader who prevents the man on the street from being suspicious?
We had a president in the late 19th century who carried two nicknames for his entire term in office: “His fraudulency” and “Rutherfraud” B. Hayes! Doubt, suspicion and continual vetting goes with the territory of being president.
“Doubt, suspicion and continual vetting goes with the territory of being president.”
Amen to that!
