And then we never had to talk about Obama's birth certificate again



Occasionally my feed spills some news water on my shirt face and the stupid stings my eyes. Happens to the best of us. This piece in USA Today just now, which is probably best known as the paper that assigns people in hotels recycling homework (just kidding if they're hiring), has a brief on the one guy who can sort this whole Obama gift certificate mess out and bring us all together as a country, Jesse Jackson. Birth certificate I mean, although I'd take a few Obama gift certificates if you guys have any, because that shit is expensive. 

"Any discussion of his birthplace is a code word," Jackson said to Politico. "It calls upon ancient racial fears." 

Politico is, of course, the site where really ugly people, like surprisingly ugly, go to get mad about things in front of their computer. Unlike this site, which is for moderately attractive people.

President Obama, the nation's first black president, was born in Hawaii. He released his birth certificate and other details of his birth today.

Jackson went on to say: "Trump has trumpeted this cause. For him to go down this low is a bit surprising. He is now tapping into code-word fears that go far beyond a rational discourse."
That's not just lazy, repetitive word choice there, it's also an example of Jackson being a hypocrite, calling down our ingrained biological fear of trumpets. 

Oh by the way, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken before Obama said "FUCK IT PUT THE THING OUT"  found that "38% of Americans say Obama was definitely born in Hawaii." aren't despicable racists. That number sounds a little high by my math though. 

As noted USA Today reader, and leading political mind b85940df69e4a394 puts it in the comments section of the story:

Amen to Donald Trump.Someone finally got the ball rolling to bring out "hopefully" the truth.What was Obama trying to hide?This was such a simple matter that should have been addressed A LONG TIME AGO.As to Rev[not]jesse jackson this whole racist garbage can of lies has been going on for years because YOU will not let it die.This will probably end when you are dead and gone.Maybe you will hopefully find peace with yourself and God and stop making the world miserable and causing people to hate each other.
Well said. 

But still, now that we've got the long form birth certificate out, this whole thing can just go die under the porch like a sad dog that just got mauled by a coyote, right? I mean, what can they say next?

Oh right, literally anything. They can say literally anything.  Like actual smart person, and noted message board commenter This One Friend Of Mine Whose Name I Won't Use said:  

This certificate thing though - am i going whackadoodles or wasn't one of the reasons the birthers were called whackadoodles was because obama had allegedly released the only birth certificate that existed? i swear i thought that was a defense - i.e. "there IS no other birth certificate. the one they provided is the ONLY one hawaii issues" or something
Oh right. That's what's gonna happen now.


Or they can just keep saying the same thing. Bring it all back home for us, ww2hero

If you keep calling me moderately attractive, I'll keep reading this moderately interesting blog. Deal?

I forgot you read it too, I might need to revise my formula. NONE TAKEN

said...

Moderately interesting is kind of a stretch too btw.

Well it makes perfect sense that if Obama was going to come up with a fake birth certificate, he would wait this long to release it. I mean, it must take a really really long time for the US President to come up with a fake official state document. Years even. Also it's sort of the beside the point but I think the "let's just suppose he wasn't born here. What the hell could anyone do about it anyway?" argument is pretty solid.

b85940df69e4a394 is saying that racism will end when Jesse Jackson dies? I don't buy it, but I'm willing to test it.
