With ‘Dreams From My Real Father,’ Have Obama Haters Hit Rock Bottom?
by Michelle Goldberg

A pseudo-documentary that slimes Ann Dunham, the president’s late mother, is being mailed to swing-state voters. A look at the film and Dinesh D’Souza’s book, Obama’s America.

As far back as Barack Obama's first Senate campaign, his opponents went to absurd lengths trying to provoke him into losing his temper on camera. They only embarrassed themselves. They don't seem to understand, the more people see President Obama ignore these silly provocations, the more impressed people become, and the more people respect him.

If somebody has to have a finger on the nuclear button, it ought to be someone who is unflappable and doesn't lose his temper. As opposed to Combat Hairstylist Romney, who can burst into violence just by seeing a non-conformist hairdo.

The other thing about this latest nonsense is that it seems to contradict the earlier nonsense from the birthers.

Well said.
