"Obama's citizenship is now in question. It's gonna finally come out that he's a Muslim."
Yeah, heard this one this morning from a bitter Right-Winger, who also added that "Obama's Birth Certificate doesn't match the format used in Hawaii that year and they sealed the record so no one but him can see the original" as though that was a big conspiracy. MY birth certificate looks nothing like the original that would have been issued (people lose them, they get replaced), and ALL fucking birth records are sealed for 100 years so that no one but next of kin or authorized personal representatives can see them. I know this because researching history through public records is my favorite hobby and, as much as I might be curious to find some things, it just isn't in the rules.
