Perhaps You Haven't Noticed That The President Is... Black?

Paul Waldman wonders (not really), What's up with the endless right wing obsession with "vetting" President Obama?

No! Are you sure he hasn't just been Photoshopped?

I seem to recall reading last week that the Secretary of State
of Arizona (I don't think I ever realized that individual
states had Secretaries of State) has announced that he won't
permit Obama to be on the ballot in Arizona if he isn't
satisfied that the current president is really a U.S. citizen.

Now **that** would make a really entertaining court case!

Clinton had similar, perhaps even worse problems with the hard right harassing his legitamacy to be president. The did impeach him for a blowjob and wanted him tried for murder.
