Obama and the birthers

They won't go away, the tea baggers who claim that Barack Obama was born outside the United States. People keep refuting it, but people seem to have forgotten how the thing started.

Someone pointed out that John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, was born outside the United States, in Panama, and thus might be barred by the constitution from serving as president.

The right-wing Republicans responded in kind by pointing out that Obama was born outside the United States, too----he was born in Hawaii.

It was only after it was pointed out to these idiots that Hawaii is a state that they started claiming he was born in Kenya.
