Quit being so picky

How can you tell a real American?  He's white.  There are she-whites, too, but the realest -- the most "legitimate" Americans, to use the phrase Todd Akin might use --  are he-whites.  Just go with the flow here.  Birth certificates should not be issued to anything south of white.  Not valid ones, anyway.  Not ones you can register to vote with.

Of course Romney fully believes Obama was born in the United States. But in a way, that’s the point — he’s still willing to dabble in birther humor, either to rev up his base by proving that he’s willing to take it to Obama or whatever, or for a cheap laugh, or for some combination of the two.

Maybe this will get chalked up to Romney’s awkwardness and get dismissed, but it looks to me like a major mistake. ...Greg Sargent, WaPo

See what I mean?  Picky-picky.

Along the same lines, I wonder if a joint effort on the part of women's bodies in the US,  Todd Akin and Paul Ryan (who believes the same things about abortion and rape as Akin) ... whether women's bodies can shut down these two men?  So it looks like they never existed?

Just wondering.

Was that birth certificate joke about Obama ?
… or was it about his father, former Michigan Governor George Romney ?
The campaign event was in Michigan afterall.

Questions were occasionally asked about George Romney’s eligibility to run for President in 1968 due to his birth in Mexico, given the ambiguity in the United States Constitution over the phrase “natural-born citizen”. His Mormon paternal grandfather and his three wives had fled to Mexico in 1886, but none of them ever relinquished U.S. citizenship. Romney’s parents chose U.S. citizenship for their children, including George. The family fled Mexico and came to the United States in 1912 during the Mexican Revolution.
