Hawaii to Birthers: STFU Already

Hopefully this is the last time we have to say this, but once again Hawaii has checked and triplechecked the Obama birth certificate and guess what - it shows that the POTUS is a natural-born citizen. (Whether you like it or not.) From the Swamp: "I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen," Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said in a brief statement.

Well, that should settle that. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took it a step further: "Here's the deal,'' Gibbs said. "If I had some DNA, it wouldn't assuage those that don't believe he was born here. But I have news for them and for all of us...He's a citizen.''

Unfortunately, that's not entirely true: While DNA would prove that Obama is indeed human (angels and deities don't have genetic structures, do they?) it wouldn't prove the location of his birth. However, since Birthers wouldn't be satisfied even if they had a post-birth video of Obama dancing the hula and nursing on shave ice while volcanoes erupt and palm trees sway in the background, it doesn't much matter anyways.

BTW, If you haven't seen the video of Chris Matthews absolutely demolishing a mushmouthed G. Gordon Liddy over his Birther beliefs, it's worth spending a few minutes watching. It's almost cruelty.
