    Nobody is trying to impeach him….for what?
    For doing a lousy job?
    He not the first leader we elected that performed poorly.

    Besides the birther thing came from the Clinton camp in the run up of the 2008 primaries.
    She was highly criticized at the time for saying that she thought it’s POSSIBLE for him to be born in the US, but did not come out fully against it….and left it to linger as a side show.

    He is being criticized for his performance. But his almost cult like hardcore supporters brand everybody with racism for disapproving of his policies and leadership.
    To use a German phrase it’s a Totschlag argument.

    Something else, by the American definition Obama is not African American but mixed race.
    There days the majority of Americans are mixed race/culture, the core make up of our nation and diversity.
    But he is not a descendant of the African/American experience, culture and history.
    His ancestor where not descendants of slaves like African Americans.
    He was never part of the African/American experience and struggle, has nothing in common with that history and is not representative of it.
    Yet he hangs his wagon on that train.
    Not that there is anything wrong with his history
    Personally I couldn’t care less if he where born on Mars.
    Just expected better of him as president.
