Make A Difference

When I look at this "birther" issue I am reminded of a pastor who told one of his members in regards to Sen. Barack O'Bama at that  time. "I don't mean any harm but you are not big enough, rich enough or important enough to make a difference." At that time I thought that was cruel and ingenious. Since the members protest was based on his Christian principles and scripture exhorted by the pastor himself. After being isolated and even ridiculed myself for those same beliefs. Now I see that he was only telling him the painful truth.

The president's star appeal has steamrolled right over anything in his way.This same issue has had lesser opponents labeled as being racist or crazy. It basically ruined attorney Orly Tatz's career. The Republicans and even the Tea party turned on her. Others like Herman Cain and Allen Keyes have all but been ignored. Donald Trump gave a dead issue new life. President O'Bama felt the need to address this himself. So let's not pretend Donald Trump doesn't have the country's attention. He has the number #1 television show in the country. He might be big and rich enough to make a difference.
