allegations of racism aside, I think the flap over obama's birth certificate accomplished exactly what people on both sides of the aisle were hoping for. tell me the obama administration wasn't begging for something like this to come along. once again, barry gets to be the victim of institutionalized racism ( x my fantasy baseball team's current ERA). and while apparently neither egypt nor libya were up to the task of wagging the dog at the moment, this shitstorm seems to have done a bang-up job of distracting the all too eager multitudes from the ongoing economic disaster. if I didn't know any better I'd suspect the whole damn thing was engineered by george soros.
I disagree.
Polls show that Trump's attacks have lowered public trust of Obama and his personal character.
But simultaneous with that, the priority focus of public opinion remains the economy. Last I looked, Obama's approval rate was 41%, and his negative at 46%. That's not irretrievable by Nov 2012, but with gas prices creeping toward 5 dollars a gallon, Egypt, Libya and the rest of the Middle East continuing to unravel, gas prices and other Obama legislation pushing us toward a double-dip recession and so forth, I see Obama's poll numbers continuing in a downward direction.
