As a Canadian who has watched American presidential politics for years with great amusement....
Obama started it! When he thought it was a boost for his political career he said he was Kenyan born. When he wanted to be president he reverted to being American.
A close second for the blame is (or was) the stupid law that said a minor couldn't automatically bequeath citizenship on her baby if it was born abroad.
The political squabbles that ensued were easily predictable and I hold no one else to blame for trying to get an advantage on such a stupid situation.
As an aside, I only get CNN for American news. While I find both candidates, ahem, deplorable I find the coverage so lopsided against Trump if not for Clinton, that I would probably vote GOP. Chuck the incumbent bums out, suffer four years of Trump, and take the election more seriously in 2012.
