S & P Birther Index Posts Big Gains



WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In what some experts are calling a strong indicator of improvement in the economy, Republicans in recent weeks have begun renewing their claims that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

While most economists agree that any significant improvement in the US economy is generally accompanied by an uptick in GOP questions about Mr. Obama’s place of birth, there is now an econometric tool for measuring the increase in those claims: the so-called S & P Birther Index.

The Birther Index, established in 2008, measures the occurrences of such words as “birth certificate,” “Kenya,” and “wasn’t born here” in Republican statements about the President, and has proven to be a surprisingly reliable tool for tracking improvements in the economy.

Harland Dorinson, the economist who devised the S & P Birther Index, said that as the economy recovers the index also shows a strong surge in statements questioning the President’s Christianity.

1. A local fundy preacher claims Obama's dog is a wind-up toy made in China.

And that his two daughters were really adopted from the Ivory Coast because Obama is sterile. This is because of all the pot he smoked while in college.

2. This has to be the most dumbest group ever.

Joe Arpaio has a cold case posse and are they working on the backlog of 400 sexual crimes, no they are trying to determine if a copy of a BC has pixels, what did they print their "evidence" on, a printer which uses pixels and now they have undertaken looking at the pixels. In the meantime repukes are pushing Rubio to be VP and guess what he was born in the USA but his parents did not have their citizenship at the time of his birth. They jump in the water and later find out they need to get out and shole is many miles away. The US Code Title 8, Section 1401 defines a natural born citizen. It is only required to have one parent as a citizen no matter where the child is born. Obama has it covered in more than one way, he was born in Hawaii and his mother was a US citizen. You must not have to think to be a repuke.
