Obama’s birther joke

By on March 10, 2011 in Birthers

Speaking at a fundraising event in Boston this week, President Obama said:

I think there’s nothing — there’s no weakness in us trying to reach out and seeing if we can find common ground. Now, there are going to be times where we can’t. I was born in Hawaii, what can I say? I mean, I just… I can’t change those facts.

    I find myself disappointed in the quality of this birther ‘joke’ – President Obama (or his speechwriters) could have done much better…

    This was also on CNN’s PoliticalTicker. CNN seem to be paying alot of attention to the birthers. And not in a good way, if you are a birther.

    Obama was born on Krypton, and is a Galactic Federation dual citizen.

    Now can we go back to the economy?

    In his defense, it’s hard to top the joke that is the birther movement itself.

I was born in Hawaii, what can I say? I mean, I just… I can’t change those facts. And I’d like to prove it to you, but even as I speak I, ve ordered the use of harp technology to create a tidal wave that will destroy all of those records once and for all. As for our west coast I,m told by my scientists that the effects are less certain–so heads up occidental, I had acorn map the gps coordinates of your admissions office a year before the last census , and a drone missle just might be headed your way.

    as I write this joke, please join me in prayer for all— including family that I have yet to be to able to contact

    Your joke was in poor taste. I hope you reach your family soon and they are well.

    Agreed…Very poor taste…But I wouldnt’ be surprised to see some birther reference this natural disaster as some sort of Obama conspiracy to destroy records in HI….

    Sometimes in desperate situations all you CAN do is joke and make light of things.

    I walked into a hotel lobby, and looked around.

    I had reservations, but stayed there anyway.
