Barack Obama, or whatever his name is, has a past that would have prevented him winning both the nomination and election to the Presidency. His two autobiographies and his extraordinary efforts to destroy or hide all evidence of his early life are clear indicators that an invented life story was critical to his political ambitions.
He has been greatly aided in this endeavor by both the media and the birthers. The media have refused to satisfy the public’s curiosity because they recognize that the truth would destroy Obama. The birthers have been Obama’s dream come true. Their obsession with the place of birth issue has obscured the other, more damaging, issues. The birthers are the gift that keeps on giving for the Fraud in Chief.
Goes well with popcorn though :)
