The Racism Behind Boehner's Threats to Sue Obama
This new attack by Boehner on Obama's legitimacy as president is nothing more than an extension of the earlier Republican Birther attack.
...they spent the first four years questioning the legitimacy of his even being in office, all the while doing everything they could to prevent him from having any significant successes legislatively. Then, after he won reelection, their obstruction went into overdrive. And he said,"I have a pen and I'm going to use it."
The argument that this black man was illegitimate had been largely relegated to the fringes by this point, so now a new variation on the argument emerged. While he may actually have a birth certificate and legitimately be president, his behaviors are illegitimate!
