All the Republicans need to do is run a legitimate candidate in 2012 and Obama will be history.[/quote]Exactly.
But since the Republicans can’t address Obama on the real issues that matter, they shoot for the primal psychological urges.
I believe that there are strong subliminal elements to this whole issue of birth and citizenship.
Remember that Obama was born in 1961, at the height of segregation in America. The 1950s and the 1960s were the “golden age” of America but they were also very ugly times.
Whites have always been afraid of Blacks stealing their women. Back then, a Black man could not even look at a White woman without being put in his place. And when a White woman got into trouble all she had to do was claim that a Black man raped her for the whole town to forget everything and go on the hunt for the perpetrator.
In 1960, for Obama’s mother to marry a pitch dark Black man from Africa was, for many, an affront to the White race.
Today, less educated, working class Whites, especially in the Heartland and the South, feel power slipping from them. Immigrants from Asia, Eastern Europe and other parts of the world are entering the best universities, or they come already educated and professionals. The Germans, Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese own and operate factories that employ the locals.
Being a “natural born” White American is no longer enough to ensure superiority.
Today kids look up to Black sports figures and celebrities. African-American rap is permeating popular culture. Trophy White women are on the arms of successful Black men daily on television.
There’s increasing globalization of finance, culture, media and education. Working class and professional Whites are feeling uneasy about their economic and social standing. The world is changing faster than people’s ability to adapt.
Bill Clinton was hated by many in part because of his sympathies with Blacks and his being considered the first “Black President of the United States.”
But until Obama, the Presidency of the United States, seemed like a secure postion for a White man (likely a Southern White man).
Obama’s election has remade the image of America and is challenging our perception of our own country. The image of America around the world has also changed.

Too bad there isn’t one. Unlike the Carter Presidency, there doesn’t appear to be a Ronald Reagan waiting in the wings.
If the GOP wishes to even appear serious about 2012, then they need to get their house in order and build a credible platform with a credible candidate and distance themselves from the lunatic element, like Trump and Palin.
