Now that the so-called “birther” controversy is over, a well-known “celebrity idiot” is pursuing the idea that the President has false academic credentials. What has America come to that we want to believe the worst about a person because of their ethnic background. I am not so naive to believe that Racism has not completely died out in America however when the public has its thinking dictated by a celebrity whose major accomplishments have been to accumulate great wealth (possible on the backs of the very people he hopes to influence in the voting booth) the only reason for this in my estimation is Racism. Americans have been the foremost proponents for freedoms that all of us enjoy and many take for granted yet we cannot get past our own prejudices when it comes to the person who is the current face of our country. Do we really want to follow the lead of media hogs who have no real interest in gaining an office but want the media attention that keeps their faces and words in the face of the public? At this time we have dire fiscal problems coupled with two wars and several support roles in warring countries, so why would we allow incorrect and inconsequential information dictate how we vote and think? The current events and fiscal status of America has been brewing for decades under a Congress that has been in place for decades under several Presidents with this in mind who should we really press for solutions to these problems? Our Congress is as political and morally incorrect as you can get. They have surreptitiously played the race card, condoned improper respect due the Leader of our country and they themselves have disrespected the citizens of this country by their actions and inactions. I ask the question what next?
