So, there are these stupid allegations that Barack Hawaii Five-O Obama may not have been born in America and, therefore, is not a citizen and cannot run for president. So, they asked for a birth certificate. One showed up. Allegations were it was fake since it looked like it came from Dan Rather’s HP printer. Smart people realize that, gasp!, maybe the state of Hawaii, like most places, has document retrieval technology. So, basically, no big deal. And, honestly, pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.
And a while back there was speculation that McCain being born in Panama was also excluded from running for president. This claim was equally fucking stupid.
The difference in the two is that there was actually considerable press time devoted to the fucking stupid story about John McCain. And the only mention of the fucking stupid story about Obama is on some right wing blogs.
Update: In comments, it was said that there are actually two federal cases to disqualify McCain. Interesting. I have not read about those.
