This is not the first “unanswered question” this nation has faced that will likely never get an effective (or fully truthful) answer.
I suspect that at least some of the distancing these people are putting between themselves and the “birther movement” is that they know that it is going nowhere. As has been posted before - so what IF some definitive proof came to light that took away all doubts and showed Obama to be illegally in office. Will anything come of it? I seriously doubt it. Were he a Republican - the question would have been answered already. In fact, I suspect that Obama’s race is an even larger part of the reason there are so many questions that have gone unanswered.
But again - Even with undeniable evidence, would anything come of it? Not enough backbone left in this country. So why would these folks invest political resources that won’t pay off even if they are correct?
So do we all just roll over and morph into a no-backbone species? Figuring it is a faits accomplis and just ‘too difficult” to expect truth or standards anymore?
Do we not even blink that the hightest office in the land might be occupied by one that has perpetuated fraud upon us? Or at minimum has been veiled and contradictory where he should clear and open.
We are ‘shunned” into not asking for politically sensitive answers anymore? Scary implications.
Feels like devolution under the thumb of others.
