Some Blacks See Racism in 'Birther' Questions
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Shortly after President Barack Obama declared himself an American-born citizen with papers to prove it, Baratunde Thurston declared himself a disgusted black man. "I find it hard to summarize in mere words the amount of pain and rage this incident has caused," Thurston said. "This" would be the nation's first black president standing in the White House, blue power suit and all, going on TV to debunk, in more detail than before, the persistent, he-ain't-really-an-American rumors fanned anew by Donald Trump, the developer and might-be presidential candidate. Many ...
Family of Doctor Who Delivered Obama 'Blown Away'
By not in system - AOL NewsHONOLULU - The family of a Honolulu doctor whose signature appears on President Barack Obama's birth certificate woke up to the news Wednesday that the late obstetrician had delivered Obama. Relatives of Dr. David Sinclair told The Associated Press that they were "blown away" and "honored." So-called "birthers" have questioned Obama's birthplace, espousing theories that he was not born in the U.S., possibly his father's native Kenya, and therefore ineligible to be president.

Will Donald Trump's Same-Sex Stance Alienate Gay Travelers?
By Steve Friess - AOL NewsLAS VEGAS -- Donald Trump's bluster may be raising the would-be GOP presidential candidate's poll numbers and ginning up ratings for his reality-TV show, but his remarks about same-sex marriage are already causing problems for his hotels and casinos. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation posted an online list of all Trump hospitality and entertainment properties, urging readers to "consider Trump's decision to stand against LGBT families when you're deciding whether to patronize" any of them. And a spokeswoman for the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association, which has ...
GOP Voters in Early States Embrace a Trump Presidential Bid
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Out with Sarah. In with The Donald.

It's people once considered highly unlikely to compete seriously for the party's nomination who are creating big stirs in early voting states, a reflection of an unformed and uncertain GOP presidential field. Republican activists in Iowa, New ...
