Even after the White House released the long-form certificate of Obama's birth, birther leader Orly Taitz—who has filed unsuccessful lawsuits seeking to obtain access to Obama's birth certificate—sought to cast doubt on the document's authenticity, suggesting that in 1961, Hawaiian officials would have classified Obama as "Negro" rather than using designation "African," which suggests, in her view, a more contemporary concern for "political correctness."
So what's fueling the dogged questioning of Obama's origins? Many critics of the birther movement say its core tenets--and its stubborn resistance to evidence disproving those beliefs--can be traced to racial hostilities. The fundamental birtherist conviction, these critics say, is that an African-American can't have legitimately won the presidency--and that his elevation to power therefore has to be the result of an elaborate subterfuge.
Trump and others have accused Obama of not authoring his memoir, while many Obama detractors continue to argue he is secretly Muslim. Both Jackson and Joseph noted that never before has a sitting president's nationality been questioned.

Calling Obama a victim is going too far. The citizens of the U.S. are victims. Race card? Really? Can we not judge the man based on his actions alone without going there?

When Obama loses in 2012 (please let it be Palin, please let it be Palin) he can place blame all he wants.
The country, though, will breathe a sigh of relief.

Palin could be no worse than Obama. Plus we'd have the added benefit of watching people have massive strokes on MSNBC.

The 2012 campaign is going to be about race.
Complain about high gas prices, you must be a racist birther.
Complain about another war, you must be a racist birther.
Complain about Obama's GE friends paying zero taxes, you must be a racist birther.

I retract my previous statement. That would be well worth seeing her as President!
