Certificate of Embarrassment

link here to article

This NYT editorial on the need for the President of the United States to publish his birth certificate is an embarrassment. Its hard to understand how the US can maintain the respect of the world community when the rest of the world bears witness to our comic book politics. Most of the comments supported the NYT's article. There were, however, a large number of comments that show that efforts to delegitimize our elected President will continue. The underlying factor is racism fueled by politicians who hope to run against a President weakened by silly attacks and a weak economy that the GOP is doing what it can to keep weak prior to the election in 2012. Politics before the people should be the motto of this once great party that has raised questions regarding its place in our political system.
