A lot of debunked claims have been spread about President Obama throughout his presidency; including, but not limited, to:
- Obama is a Muslim.
- Obama was not born in this country.
- Obama is a communist/socialist/monarchist/etc...
While the source of these statements is unclear (defined here as "The Right" for brevity), if the president were to theoretically identify the perpetrator(s) and take them to court, would he have a case--or is all fair in love and politics? An argument could be made that such a tactic might benefit towards the goal of "refocusing" the people away from the tabloid "issues" that seem to dominate a lot of political discussions today.
