I don't see this has been discussed here.

So let's discuss, shall we?

Thanks for posting that.  It should be prefaced with the disclaimer that Rolling Stone is biased to the left.  I loved Taibbi's expose on Goldman Sachs a few years ago.  Anyway, That was a long read.  If any of that is true about Romney and Bain, I don't think he deserves to be president and I think we deserve a better candidate. Some of it must be true, even if it's biased.  I liked the closing few paragraphs the best.  Depressing, right?  

One statement wasn't true:  

"No one in history has ever successfully run for president riding this big of a lie. It's almost enough to make you think he really is qualified for the White House."

Obama's birth certificate authenticity is highly questionable and has been questioned.  If it's true, that he wasn't born in the US (and I'm sure it will be revealed some day when he's out of office), then we have two huge frauds running for president.  It's a sad sign of the times how we the people are being robbed and manipulated.  Now I'm even more depressed.

Obama's birth certificate has been verified.  He is an American citizen.  He didn't lie.

Its really only being questioned by people who cannot read. Or think. Or cant come up with any valid reasons for not having a black man in office.

Andplusalso, Romney was born in Mexico. On a polygamist farm. WTF.

I've yet to see papers proving he's not a unicorn too.  So.  I mean.  He's probably a unicorn.

What, specifically, is highly questionable about his birth certificate? What do people have against Hawaii??

Hawaii is so sketchy with their smug pineapples and their sandy beaches and their state-sponsered health care.

Jerks.

I dislike Mittens just as much as the next guy, but this is false. Mitt's father was born in Mexico. Mitt was born in Michigan.

Ssssh. We cannot cloud up this election with accurate facts and this strange thing called truth. Just remember, there is NO war on women. Mittens knows many people who are women. He even married one. He practically has his own ute.

So, Mitt's an anchor baby?

Weeeeelllll something like 8% of Americans either "don't think" or "aren't sure" Hawaii is a state. So there's that...

Yep, the father who ran for president and who was never asked for his birth certificate. 

Amazing.

Romney doesn't even blink when he talks about his dad being born in Mexico, and thinks there's nothing inappropriate about joking about Obama's birth certificate.  No, he really doesnt get the irony that nether he nor his father were ever asked to present their birth certficates - rules weren't made for rich white guys like them.

Do you have any idea how ignorant this makes you sound?  Even Trump has conceded that he was wrong.  TRUMP. 

You are more ignorant than Donald Trump. 

If you're going to hate Obama, at least hate him for real reasons, not tin foil hat theories.

mrsbecky07

Wait, people still believe that Obama's birth certificate isn't real and that he is not a citizen of the United States??
