Of course if anyone even mentioned that his middle name is "Hussein" they were deemed racist and worse. Hardly anyone in the MSM even mentioned the possibility that he might not be eligible. IOW, a public debate or discussion of the issue was deemed "not politically correct".

I agree.

Any criticism of Obama was off-limits during the campaign. Any other challenger would've been chewed up and spit out by the Clinton machine. It actually pained me to watch Hillary resign herself to lose to this guy because any bad word she said about him hurt her poll numbers. The American people, too many of them anyways, did not demand any investigation so the media didn't do their job. The American people didn't ask questions and Obama didn't offer answers. People genuinely wanted to like the guy and didn't want to learn any details that might change their opinion.

The system isn't broke. America just didn't use it this time around, choosing instead to roll the dice and vote for an enigma. We might as well have had a presidential election by lottery.

And why do you suppose that was?
