It seems that in every article I read concerning Obama and Hawai'i, the writer takes great pains to mention he was "born here." In this article it's mentioned in paragraph 13.
I don't recall journalists making an similar effort to remind readers that George W. was born in Connecticut. I'm trying hard to remember, and nothing, no article or story, comes up. Does anyone else remember?
Am I the only one seeing the "we just wanted to remind you, Obama was born here in Hawai'i" phenomenon in the print media? Am I imagining things?
Nope.
In fact, if you go out on the street and ask folks where George Bush is from most likly they will tell you Texas. Some might even get it as close as Midland. They don't have a clue about Connecticut.
