For those who wonder why President Barack Obama and his wife First lady Michelle Obama are going so hard for Hillary Clinton and against Donald trump?
NULLIFICATION
There is no need to wonder .
This couple has been campaigning heavily against Donald J Trump ever setting foot in the White house as President.
If you are wondering why , then you must have missed the last 71⁄2 years of Donald Trump’s birther campaign.
The Nation’s first couple is enjoying campaigning against Trump for the show me your papers birther campaign Trump waged against the President.
The duly elected President of the United States was subjected to a vicious smear campaign that he was not an American citizen .
The narrative being that he was born in Kenya had been brought into the United states-state of Hawaii, because they knew that somehow he was born to be president of the United States.
The birther lie took on legs domination the news cycle incessantly . Lawsuits were filed by one of it’s standard bearer a woman named Orly Taitz. Donald Trump and Sarah Palin were chief among the principals pushing the birther narrative but there were others , including high ranking military officers.
The United States Constitution stipulates that in order for someone to qualify to be president of the United States they have to have reached the age of 35 years of age and be of natural birth.
If you are able to cast doubt on the country of birth of the president of the United States, you have disqualified him, You have nullified his presidency.
That was the mission of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin and others . Nullification.
In the end Trump was forced to eat crow, egg on his orange tinged face Trump openly conceded that the president was born in the United States but only when it suited his narrow perverted interest. As was to be expected the narcissistic maniac in making the statement ‚blamed Hillary Clinton for having started the birther issue, while claiming he was able to do the President and the nation a favor by getting the President to show his birth certificate.
That was patently false but it did not stop Trump from making the statement.
He only made the statement when he was faced with the prospect of the first of three presidential debates knowing he would be asked to defend his campaign of lies against the president.
The debates are now over, according to the polls Trump lost all three to Clinton.
It was laid bare for people across the globe to see that Donald J Trump , Sarah Palin and the other birthers had the combined intellect of a 5‑year-old.
Fugitive slave catchers were people who returned escaped slaves to their owners in the United States in the mid 19th century. Slaves who managed to free themselves from their owners had yet another worry: fugitive slave catchers.
Donald Trump’s birther campaign against the nation’s first black president was an extension of the challenges blacks faced during and after slavery. It was the equivalent of “I do not believe you are what you are” (a freed human being) not a slave, chattel to be owned .
It is similar to what blacks face in America with police who deem that they cannot be in certain areas legitimately and must produce Identification, even on their own property.
Trump’s disrespectful campaign against the president’s right to the presidency was an affront to the president and his family and the vast majority of the intelligent enlightened American people who voted him into office, not once but twice, and most likely would overwhelmingly vote for him again were he constitutionally eligible, what with his 54% approval rating .
On Thursday October 20th President Obama ripped both Donald Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio at a campaign stop in South Florida. Rubio has chastised Republicans for referring to wikileaks email dump against Democrats arguing next time it could be the Republicans on the wrong end of those hacks. I was never a Rubio fan but I would have been happier hearing from a United States Senator that a Russian hack of American Institutions represents a clear and present danger. Instead the fear is next time it could be us.
Rubio’s fear and angst seem only centered on the notion that Republicans could be next .
One would have expected a patriotic United States Senator to have been outraged not just concerned about the fact that his party could be next.
Obama tore into Rubio for running away from immigrants as soon as things got a little tough in his party. He blasted Rubio for having said Trump is a con-man who should never have access to the nuclear codes yet still insists he will be voting for Trump.
It’s normal for a sitting President to boost the senate or house candidate of his own party against the sitting senator or congress person of the opposite party.
This however sounded different to me . It seemed that the Commander in chief wanted to hang Donald Trump around the neck of Marco Rubio and chase both of them out of town,.
So what could be going on with this departure from normal protocol. I wonder if events outlined in the article above has something to do with this smack-down of Rubio?
You bet it does !!
This is the very same Marco Rubio who said quote “Barack Obama has no class” Of course the President did not allude to this but this writer and many people of color were extremely offended when this honorary white Cuban , made that statement.
This president and his family has been a model of class of dignity . They have been perfect representatives for the good people of the country who twice voted the president into office.
How dare Marco Rubio who ran away from a little fight over immigrants, refusing to stand up and defend people who came just a generation after his own parents came.?
In my world that makes Rubio a self serving coward who care only about holding political office.
A little after the president delivered a double smack-down of Trump and Rubio, his wife the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama (the closer) delivered another all too familiar Michelle Obama smackdown of Trump in the red state of Arizona. Many Democrats and pundits believe Arizona could be trending blue even to the point of delivering a win in that state for Hillary Clinton , something which hasn’t happened in 20 years.
The Trump campaign and Republican officials argue that carrying Arizona is pure Clinton fantasy. But according to the Washington Post, the state’s junior US Senator Jeff Flake ® when asked what Trump could do to ensure a win in Arizona, Flake said: “Come up with a more realistic immigration policy than build a wall and make the Mexican government pay for it, walk back the Muslim ban, stop talking about getting rid of libel laws. Should I go on? I think we’re not in a good position. I think Mr. Trump is not where he needs to be to win a general election.” “We can’t afford to alienate and demonize the largest-growing demographic out there,” Flake said, drawing a historical parallel. “Back in the ’60s, we Republicans lost the African American vote that we still haven’t gained back.”
Hum hum.
It’s every man for himself now .
The splashing sounds you hear are Republicans diving off the sinking HMS Donald Trump.
