I haven’t been following the “birther” controversy too closely. It seemed ridiculous and Trumped up to create an issue of a non-issue. However, this analysis by Goldie Taylor on the Rachel Maddow show is excellent. (Sorry about the advertisement at the start.) It helped me realize what the “controversy” is really about: a racist attempt to discredit our first black president. Thanks for forwarding it, Jinx.
