Watch William Shatner reciting Sara Palin's farewell speech on the Tonight Show, if you haven't. It's a hoot.
Yesterday, all but 20 Repug reps in congress went on record acknowledging President Obama was born in Hawaii. None voted against the resolution honoring the 50th anniversary of Hawaii statehood.
Presidential birthplace is a constitutional matter, but since we have no reason or evidence to believe Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii, the question becomes one of why some people want to believe he was born in Kenya. It's not just to disqualify him for office, but also to back up crazy theories of an international anti-Christian conspiracy; that he's part of an end-times scenario, the antichrist, or servant of an antichrist. The typical "birther" could care less about the Constitution. Certainly, "birthers" never cared about it when Cheney was president.
