Don Surber . . . "But Donald John Trump knew what he was doing in 2011, when he resurrected birtherism. He was poking Obama to see how he would react.
"Obama lost his cool.
"At the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, Obama ripped into Donald Trump."From his seat at the Washington Post table, Donald Trump observed and smiled. Obama had taken the bait."I don't know if President Trump knew this at the time, but 20 years earlier, Obama as a law student had ripped into him. In a paper, Obama wrote, "[Americans have] a continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility, values that extend far beyond the issue of race in the American mind. The depth of this commitment may be summarily dismissed as the unfounded optimism of the average American — I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will.". . ."Kelly's column ended, "Barack Obama knows that if Joe Biden is defeated, the loss will represent another repudiation of the Obama-Biden reign. Obama’s presence on the campaign trail isn’t really about helping his bestie win the White House, it’s about saving face. And if Donald Trump wins, no other political figure will have done more political damage to the man most presidential historians consider the most gifted politician of modern times."That’s not exactly the legacy Barack Obama has in mind."
