been spreading baseless rumors about a non-existent video tape showing
Michelle Obama using a racial epithet.

that he is not a natural-born citizen.

designed to play into the worst kind of stereotypes.

Allegiance and inspired his strong love of this country. There's even

he refuses to put his hand over his heart or say the Pledge.
