I would bet that 100% of the "birthers" just can't BE-LIEVE that a black man, named Barack Obama is actually the U.S President. Something's got to be wrong here. Ask the birthers at these teaparties and townhalls and you hear the same mantra: "I'm really afraid!"..."I feel like I'm losing my country!"...Go to a Palin rally and we hear: "I'm mad! I'm reeeally mad!" and "he's an Arab"...Memo to haters: You lost. Get over it. Obama's the President. He did not win because of a birth certificate plot..Obama won because more Americans voted for him.. than they have voted for any other person... running for any elective office...in the HISTORY of the United States of America...Don't like it? Stop trying to assasinate his character and stop with the sick threats. Just win at the ballot box in 2012.

They scream about Obama's lack of qualifications, while ignoring their beauty queens' who went to six colleges to get a journalism degree.

Name calling and the politics of personal destruction has sickened the American people. <br /><br />If you have serious positions to take on policies then voice them. We welcome the debate. But pretending to do political polling while trying to destroy Sarah Palin's reputation by associating her with a position she does not hold (and by the way she has NEVER raised the issue of Obama's native-born citizen status) makes us suspect you are afraid to face us directly on the issues. <br /><br />Stick to substance Tom and you earn my respect even when I disagree with you.
