Some people just cannot get over the fact that they and their fellow country men and women have elected a black president. This has given birth to something known as the "birther movement". This movement has gained the support of some members of congress who are looking to table a bill, the
birther bill, in Congress that would require all candidates for the presidency of the United States of America to provide a birth certificate before being permitted to run.
The whole idea that Barack Obama is not a US citizen is absurd. However, it was one of those things that are great fun to watch. This is in spite of the fact that it is just too bizarre and you cannot help but think that those getting on this band wagon are the proverbial "sandwich short of a picnic basket". It also has the feel of being too bizarre that it just cannot be true, one giant hoax. Even so, it is, as I said, fun to watch.
And, if it is to be funny, then who better than
Jon Stewart of
The Daily Show on Comedy Central to do it. I am still laughing as I write this post.
