Is the Media Destroying Politics?

Was Obama Really Born in Hawaii?
YES! Presidential hopeful Donald Trump is for some reason still hooked on the idea that President Obama was not born in Hawaii and is therefore not eligible to be President. As many people have claimed including the State of Hawaii, that Obama's birth certificate which was presented was valid but this is not enough for "The Donald." He has researchers in Hawaii who claim to have found some stuff which we wouldn't believe. On The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jon mocked this absurd stunt, but what disturbed me the most was, as Jon reported, that his focus on this has not hurt him in the polls. Is there something to this theory, do people actually believe Trump? Until the information, which "we wouldn't believe" is released I don't see it helping Trump or hurting Obama in any significant way.

People tend to believe what they want to believe. Trump has only brought the issue back to the attention of the media. The only way this stunt will help Trump is that it might gain him a few anti-Obama votes, and if they honestly think that Obama wasn't born in America then they probably wouldn't end up voting for him (Obama) next election no matter what Trump or anyone else says.
ReplyDeleteNow that the long form birth certificate has been released, Trump is going to focus on other stuff, like the reasons why Obama got into Columbia and HLS. That being said, the release of the birth certificate was a slap in Trump's face, and I think he would be better off focusing on some of his other favorite issues like OPEC and Iraq's oil.
