One current news story that has been getting on my nerves is the controversy of President Obama’s birth certificate.
It should be important for Obama to show proof that he was born in the United States but we have better things to be worrying about for our country at this moment.
It is already Obama’s fourth year of presidency and this has been something that has been brought up from time to time again.
An article in Yahoo News by Rachel Hartman states, “A vast array of evidence attests to Obama's citizenship--including a certificate of live birth, signed affidavits from people who viewed Obama's long-form birth certificate, confirmation by Hawaiian officials, and independent investigations by news outlets”.
Some of the accusations news sources say are coming from racial hostilities.
In this day and age things like racial comments are getting outrageous and the fact that Donald Trump is trying to get Obama to release his birth certificate is based on racist accusations.
It is absurd to me that people view Obama as being “less American” because of his racial background.
The media is going on a frenzy right now focusing the attention in all the wrong places.
"We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do. I've got better stuff to do, we've got big problems to solve," Obama told reporters at the White House briefing room about an hour after the document was made public.
The real problem that is occurring in this country is the economic crisis we are in.
This country has a tendency to put attention in the media of matters that are pointless and take away attention to the important things we should be focusing on to get out of this horrible economic state.
We should be putting our time and energy into fixing the problems that we have that effect every single person that lives in this country.
Not only is the United States having problems of its own but there are many other wars and crises going on throughout the world.
If we are not helping ourselves we should at least be aware of our surroundings and help others who need it as well.
