tells the country that our President is a liar about being born in Africa- and you think he shouldn't expect to make himself a target??

i dont think trump ever called the president a liar. i think he just asked him to release his original birth certificate. it's a stupid sideshow but every cable news program was more than happy to put trump on the air. trump's point about obama's grades is more relevant only because it addresses the issue of competence. however, its a non-issue as well because he has already been elected. it should have been an issue before the election. bush's competence and intelligence was always considered an issue for debate and scrutiny. was that racist? in some cases it doesnt matter and it might not have mattered. we all knew bush's grades and history and we elected him. we all knew his partying ways, business dealings, militarycareer, both real and forged. im of the opinion that if you are going to elect someone and allow them to have their finger on the button, EVERYTHING about them is relevant... their past writings, opinions, family, friends, associations, etc. i watched a 20/20 episode on romney prior to the last election which addressed his family and religion. the reporter tried to paint the religion as cooky. it is imo, but so what. obama never went under that kind of scrutiny for his church, for his union connections, for his business dealings etc. you might see an article here or there but they were primarily local. he gave great speeches and charmed the press, that is pretty much what we got out of his vetting process. his supporters would claim he was vetted. i disagree. nobody dug through his garbage. it was all quite funny. even SNL did multiple bits on it but that was only because Tina Fey was a huge hillary supporter.
