But the Birther controversy was total BS created ENTIRELY because "Obama" sounds like "Osama"

... not entirely, no. By any means.

Also probably had more to do with the rest of his name, really.

I know it was total BS. Though I don't think that was the actual reason, at least not the one pushed by Trump.

Either way, it's a pretty obvious callback to the whole controversey.

Oh my fucking god, what? Kudos Trump, you actually manged to surprise me. I can think of a lot of reasons why he might bring Obama's brother, all of them bad.

Why the dude supports Trump is perhaps even weirder...

Eh, quick check seems to suggest that the obama brothers don't agree too much on... lots of things. Seems to be a fairly standard case of just having a conservative family member.

Also apparently our president has at least somewhere between three and twelve sister-in-laws. That was a factoid I wasn't aware of. Actually, I hadn't paid much attention to his family at all. Now that I look at it, damn. Dude's got a lot of half siblings. Enough in-laws to run a small town.

Wait is that illegal? I mean... Trump did the same thing and did so publically (or was it that he donated to other republicans or something I forget)

You know what nevermind I can only allude to what I am thinking of...

I would offer another viewpoint but you guys are so far out there that it feel really useless.

The e-mail shown several case of SEVERE instance of collusion between media and politicians, the leaked Goldman Sach transcript should be pretty damning, (especially given that they have been involved in several BIG poltical/financial scandals).

The mails are showing a campaign that has jet-set mentality (pool parties at the vineyard, one of the most expensive/exclusive place in America), it also give evidence that the US is providing Syrian rebels (affiliated with al-quaida, no less) with weapon, and that Saudi and Quatari involvement with ISIS is an open secret.

I think I should see if calling Americans Entitled because they don't like either presidential choice gets annoying or not.

I mean I am already annoyed and I haven't even done it yet... (I hate the term "Entitled" mostly because it is NEVER used well... "Ohh man, you want service at this restaurant? So entitled")

Oh, yeah, totally a jet set mentality. I mean, both candidates are millionaires it isn't surprising. I don't see the collusion with the media that much. Sure, they're talking to the media a lot, but... Isn't that what campaigns are supposed to do? Like, their job is to get as many good stories as possible about their candidates out there. As long as they don't bribe journalists or the like....

Yes the US Government has openly colluded with media before... and openly manipulated it (Iraq/Afghanistan war).

As for not bribing Journalists... You sure they haven't?
