Are you kidding me? Absolutely everything ( real and made up ) from Obama’s past was not only relevant , but put under a microscope by Conservative media and bloggers , prior to the 2008 election , to discredit him : his birth certificate , which of course , had absolutely nothing to do with racism , just concerned citizens asking how a black man could possibly be eligible to be president ; his connection to ACORN as a community organizer , and how he could possibly win an election – twice – without cheating ( voter fraud ) ; his so-called connection to Bill Ayers , when he allegedly ran around in his preteen years planting explosives with The Weather Underground ; his alleged Muslim connection ; his alleged anti-semitic and racist pastor ; his alleged gayness ; his alleged animosity to white people ; and his drug use.
