Birther Bonkers

Is that any way to run a Campaign? Astonishingly, the population is enthralled with a self made mogul who fires people glibly on TV and who ran a few casinos into the ground (bankruptcy stiffing creditors how many times?) The ego on Trump surpasses his towers. And he launches his campaign sending 'investigators' on this birther bonkers madness? http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/04/what-donald-trumps-birther-investigators-will-find-in-hawaii/237198/ There are legit policy issues to disagree respectfully on concerning how the bailouts worked out-there is the abortion planned non parenthood issue-there is the auto industry boondoggle-there is the take the whole wife's entourage and a few hundred of her closest friends to a resort in the Costa Del Sol in Spain with the kiddies thing talking the Spaniards out of prosecution of Bushie torturers thing. The not quite shutting down Guantanamo thing. etc. But the Birther Bit? Come on. Imagine what kinds of resources he will allocate to other dead end investigations. Perhaps he will send Justice Department mob prosecutors on all expense paid vacations to Sicilly for a few months on taxpayer nickels. Sign me up. I now like the "Awe Shucks Huck" straw chewing guy better- The birther bit just has such a subliminal racist overtone to it- like they think that the Dunhams would be so scandalized by their daughter marrying a black guy they sent the two of them back to Africa to have the kid so no one would notice in polite cucumber tea-sandwhich company. Come on. She didn't give birth in Kenya in 1961. Do you know what Kenya looked like in 1961? http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/04/what-donald-trumps-birther-investigators-will-find-in-hawaii/237198/
