All I got to say is all of y'all are a bunch of idiots.
It's just amazing that President Obama has to prove he's American while the other 43 presidents never once had to. The only explanation for the Republican hysteria over the president's citizenship is pure disbelief that they lost an election instead of being duped.
I'm sure this won't quell the GOP-led birther mania at all. It may quieten it down some but that's all. Stupid people will continue to do stupid stuff.
*Update:
I love this reaction from Newt Gingrich: "All I would say, is why did it take so long?"
I'm sure this is going to be the routine, talking point answer from Republicans. But why hasn't Newt released his birth certificate yet? Why didn't George W. Bush? Where is Sarah Palin's? Where is John McCain's, who was actually born in Panama? Oh that's right. They are Republicans and white, so they don't have to prove their Americanness. Only people who don't look like them have to. No one else has ever had to produce a birth certificate, ever. But because Republicans feel they were tricked by a Manchurian Candidate and not just flatly beaten at the polls, they have to create conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. They are a bunch of madmen poised at turning America into a modern theocratic police state.
There was never any reason to ever doubt President Obama's citizenship. Saying all he had to do was release it denies the fact that he did in 2008 and fuels the notion that because he's black with a funny name he has to prove he's American. Go suck a big fat one GOP, cause that's the only thing you're good at.
**Update:
aaaahhh yes, Obama only released his birth certificate to keep the conspiracy going. According to Republican nutjob and total tough guy Erick Erickson.
What an idiot.
I'm telling you, there is nothing anyone can do to please Republicans. They want power back. And when they are not in power this is how they behave. They did it to Clinton and they will keep doing it to Obama. Everything is a conspiracy theory and people who point out how lunatic crazy they are get portrayed by Sarah Palin and the Republican Fox News station as trying to make "curious Americans" sound crazy. No, you do that all by yourself.
