Thank you, President Obama!!
For the last three years, every single time I have allowed a criticism of your policies, actions, or inaction to escape my mouth in the presence of someone from the left, I and other reasonable Republicans have had to endure the knee jerk and irrelevant accusation that I'm "probably a Birther too." I have always thought that Obama was a natural born citizen of the United States. I will, however, admit to wondering about the justiciability of his dual citizenship with Indonesia and whether it violates the intent of the natural born citizen clause for PURELY academic reasons. Does this make me a Birther? I don't think so. I'm sure those who bow down to the icon of Obama will disagree.
Not that the left has ever had their own version of Birtherism. Never! Lest we forget that this red herring originated from the left in the first place with a lawsuit filed against him in 2008 by Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter [and Truther] Phillip Berg.
A close friend of mine had a theory that the reason why Obama hadn't released his long form birth certificate was because it might have had his religion listed as Muslim because of his father. This theory has been disproven as well. [I find it necessary to add that this particular friend thinks that Obama is NOT Muslim and is convinced that Obama is actually an atheist who later and cynically joined Wright's church for Chicago political clout].
Anyhow, thank you for putting this nonsense to rest, Mr. President. Now maybe when honest and reasonable citizens make coherent, legitimate, and good faith criticisms of your administration, we won't be met with the undeserved name calling.
Of course, your perpetual Presidential campaign will likely frame this as a victory and attempt to use this as evidence of your rightness on a whole host of issues on which you have been so so so very wrong.
