Obama Conspiracy Theory

I am so sick and tired of all the media play that Trump's accusations about President Obama receive.  His theories, it seem, get a lot of attention in terms of content, while not a lot of attention is paid to where his accusations actually come from, nor how he backs them up.  Frankly, the media has been paying more attention to the silliness behind the birth certificate conspiracy theory than any other issue facing our society; the biggest news was the issue of Obama's birth certificate.

Like Obama, I find it frustrating that in a time of so many serious and bigger issues, the validity of his birth certificate is all American media talks about.

I think it's really unfortunate that Obama had to succumb to pressure from both Trump and the media in releasing his birth certificate.  Even more unfortunate is now that Obama's birth certificate has been released, Trump needed to come up with a new conspiracy theory concerning the validity of Obama's education.

Come on Trump.  Isn't it time to move on?

    Laura, I completely agree.

    Jon Stewart did a hilarious bit on the Daily Show last night with a segment called "Believe it or Believe it: The Still-True-ening of the True Thing That Had Always Been True." You can watch it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/28/jon-stewart-birth-certificate_n_854774.html


    I love the following quote from the article:

    "On Wednesday night's 'Daily Show,' Stewart mocked all the mainstream media outlets for using words like 'stunning, shocking and surreal' to describe Obama's putting the issue to rest:

    'I don't want to nitpick but wouldn't the bombshell have been him not being from America? This one's more of a non-shell.'"

    I can't even believe the media cared about this issue. In my opinion, it was a load of bullsh*t the uber-conservatives made up to get the American public to distrust the president. Why did we even acknowledge this silliness? This is the kind of thing that really turns me off to politics. Its all a sneaky game and it distracts us from the important issues that really matter.
