    A Quarter Of Americans Are Delusional

    1 in 4 Americans still don't know what country President Obama was born in. Clearly the Stupid Barrel has no bottom to scrape.

    24 percent of Americans believe Obama was born outside the U.S.

    Long after the question of President Obama’s birthplace should have been put to rest, a new poll shows that nearly one in four Americans believe the “birther” lunacy that the president was born outside the country. The Vanity Fair/60 Minutes poll found that 24 percent of respondents think Obama was born outside the U.S., with six percent saying he was born in Kenya, another two percent choosing Indonesia, and the remainder being unsure of his exact foreign origins:



    Of course, Obama made his birth certificate available during the campaign, and the birther theory has been squashed by independent fact checkers, but a campaign by far-right publications like World Net Daily has continued to keep the rumor alive. Astoundingly, at least 11 Republican congressman endorsed the fringe theory, perhaps contributing to its perseverance.

    To be fair though, members of Barack's own family think he was born in Kenya.

    Anyways, people need to let it go. He was born in the US already.

    Just like the 2000 election that Bush supposedly stole. Get over it and accept it.

    too late thats the point

    if everyone who thinks obama is foreign born get thier way then the birth regulation will no longer exists .that opens the way for the entire world population to run for the office. even if they are correct it is now imposible to allow that to be found out. can you imagine the riots if proof that he was born in kenya showed up and he was impeached for it. no matter where he was born its to late now. he is our president and we will always be guessing about his birth just like all the differant ideas about JFK's death. soon movies will come out proving both sides and we still wont know
    even if the fbi and cia have the print new papers to prove it the Hawwian birth has to stand now. if you dont like it then elect enough republicans to take over the house or senate to nutralize obama. we will always have people questioning this so why give the any attention. remember bush realy lost the election too and he lasted eight years

    That would require an Amendment to the Constitution, which is no easy task, especially in this day & age. You'll be just as likely to get an Amendment allowing Sasquatches to be eligible to run.

    We might as well let naturalized Americans run for President. We allow illegal aliens to become citizens through amnesty, so why not?

    Pretty soon the US is just going to be a place where people work, but have no attachment or shared culture to the country itself. Our founding fathers are probably rolling over in their graves.

    It's not right for you to make fun of people more fortunate than yourself window licker.

    in keeping with the thread, I am not surprised that it is only a quarter.

    Now now a window licker isn't nessacarily a stupid person. Window licking could be result of a neurological issue that causes that kind of compulsive behavior where the person is not even realizing they are doing it. Has nothing to do with intelligence but has to do with neuro receptors in the brain.

    However many people with issues that would cause them to lick windows may also have a factor playing in that would effect their intellect.

    The last time you posted that I pointed out to you that it is a fake. Anyone can see it's an Arkansas birth certificate cleverly disguised to look like a Hawaii birth certificate. So, there you have it, Obama was born in Arkansas. Actually, he and Bill Clinton are cousins.

    I believe this is Bush's handiwork:
