Banama and his deceptions!

But you have to admit, "Bananarama and the Decepticons", would be a great name for an 80's cover band.

It's also the reboot the Transformers franchise desperately needs!

Megatron: "It's going to be...a cruel summer for the Autobots."

Optimus Prime: "Look! There! On the mountaintop! Burning like a silver flame!"

The "conflicting information about his citizenship" would include the problematic Certification of Live Birth (i.e., the short from of his birth certificate) that he finally produced (among other issues, it has an out-of-sequence certificate number--let me guess: just a "clerical error," right?), the conflicting newspaper birth announcements, statements made by his grandmother (at one point she clearly indicated he was not born in Hawaii), the description of his long-form birth certificate provided by Hawaiian officials who were supposed to be "verifying" his birth certificate vs. the birth certificate that he finally produced (after spending millions of dollars to keep it sealed--who does that?) (to read their description and then to look at the certificate that Obama finally produced, you wonder if the Hawaiian officials were legally blind or if they were looking at someone else's birth certificate).

Personally, I really don't care if he was born overseas and then was rushed here to get an American birth certificate in Hawaii. That was *very common* back then. It happened all the time. It was well known that if you wanted to get your baby an American birth certificate, you could fly to Hawaii and get one relatively easily. But I really don't care. I think the legal requirement that you must be born on American soil is outdated. I think the test should be that you've lived in America for at least 25 or 30 years.

And, look, I say this as someone who likes most of Obama's foreign policy. I think overall he's done a good job of handling thorny foreign policy issues. I like a lot of his tax policy, such as his willingness to leave most of the Bush tax cuts in place. I liked parts of the stimulus. I agree with parts of Obamacare, although I think the whole thing needs to be repealed and reshaped from scratch. Etc., etc., etc. So don't chalk up my comments as coming from "an Obama hater."

If you wish to insult our inteligence by presenting made-up crap as if was an argument, at least have the decency to present some new made-up crap that hasn´t been debunked over and over already.

Amazingly that became "well known" sometime around January 20, 2009.
