::We have to separate our opinions about Obama in general from our opinions about Conservapedia's goals.  Every website has a finite reservoir of credibility.  It may be that due to hard work and exhaustive research, CP has a better-than-the-pack coverage of Wikipedia bias or CIA surveillance.  We should showcase our best work.  However, Donald Trump (before he became politically active), decided to investigate the birth certificate and religion claims '''that were started by Obama's 2008 primary opponents.'''  He spent more money on the investigation than CP ever had.  Then-candidate Trump announced that his investigation put the birth certificate and Muslim issues to rest.[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/16/trump-clinton-trade-barbs-over-obama-birther-movement.html]  CP's response to that was to leave the [[Obama's religion]] article unchanged.  This article could examine how the rumors got started, how Trump and others investigated and dismissed the claims, how Obama addressed the claims and put them to rest, and how polling data shows that the pubic can be influenced by fake news.  Instead, it is written as if it advocates the proposition followed by a rebuttal of the strawman assertions made in the first half of the article.  Critics then send readers here to show that CP's editor corps are internally conflicted and mislead by fake news. So, we spend our limited credibility on a poorly-written article that has been passed by events.  In Trump's word, "Now we all want to get back to make American strong and great again."
