Obama cracks a birther joke

President Barack Obama was at an Orlando sports bar, snapping a University of Florida Gators' sign, sipping a pint and working a crowd when he walked up to a table with five children. One adult points to one of the boys, 7-year-old Andre Wupperman of Orlando, and informs the president that the boy was born in Hawaii, the president's native state.

The president, delighted, greeted the boy with a "shaka" sign, the pinky and thumb gesture typical of Hawaiian culture. The boy gestured back.

"You were born in Hawaii?" the president said. Then he added teasingly: "You have a birth certificate?"

The patrons at Gator's Dockside, clearly aware of the discredited claims that Obama was not born in the United States, broke up laughing.

1. How can anyone not like this guy ?

[dhill926]

4. well.....

I guess if you're a paranoid right-wing racist brain-damaged piece of festering fuck.........you might not like him.....

[russspeakeasy]

5. I hadn't thought of that....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

7. Anyone who is nothing but a husk

Miserable, racist, paranoid freaks who only care for themselves and no one else. They see this guy and his fantastic attitude about this country and life, and it makes them think about what pieces of crap they are and it angers them.

8. Beats me!! He's adorable

[Grateful for Hope]

2. LOL!

Thanks for posting this

[orpupilofnature57]

3. It was brilliant, because he is.

If he was a racists and he said it, it would be typical. The difference is he paid dues to say it, they want him to pay because they say it.

6. My favorite video:

[aaaaaa5a]

9. And to think he was doing all of that at the exact same time he was killing Bin Laden. nt

[trailmonkee]

11. thats what I loved most about that....

He probably was looking at trump as such a petty little man at the time.... Yikes

[TahitiNut]

14. "these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night"

Little did anyone know at the time that he'd made a decision that'd keep a narcoleptic up at night.

18. Which is, to me, incredible...

I don't think I'd be able to concentrate nearly that well on taking The Donald down several notches when I knew our guys were just about to take Osama down...

10. This is great, thank you for posting it.

[barbtries]

12. that was hilarious

19. The Trumpster wasn't smiling....he looked PISSED!!!

great video.

[johnlucas]

26. Barack was KILLING them!! This is why I know he'll kill Romney at the debates

Made Trump look like a punk.
All Donald can do is nod & smile 'cause he was...well...trumped.

This video shows why I know that Romney will get destroyed at the debates.
Obama knows how to cut those fools & smile while doing it.
Makes it look easy.

13. Well, you know, Hawaii and Alaska and Michigan are really not quite part of the US.

You really need a birth certificate if you are from there. If you're from Hawaii you may really be from Indonesia or Africa. If you are from Alaska you may really be from Canada or Russia. If you are from Michigan you may really be from Mexico or Idaho.

15. Lol

I am so rolling

[alp227]

16. Obama is a class act, shrugging off these birther smears

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Score!

[Kalidurga]

20. Hilarious

If Mitt had to deal with this kind of BS he would be a Mr Grumpy Pants. I love Obama's humor.

[jtuck004]

23. That's because when Mi$$ shows up, the dad points at him and says

"People that are in that guy's business fired your daddy so he and his friends could steal our money without working,and now he want's to be President".

He appears beyond formulating a good snappy rejoinder for that.

28. my favorite Obama line

Shows his ability to laugh at himself. It was when he was visiting the pyramids:



and he saw this:



and said "That looks like me! Look at those ears!"

21. This is killing me

He keeps turning up all over the place here but I never know in advance so I can be there!

[trailmonkee]

22. sounds like a fun guy....

[tavalon]

24. The rest of the link is just the writer whining about how

Obama can make birther jokes but Romney can't. Whaaah.

Obama can because it's him they are making the baseless allegations about. Romney can't because he's a douchebag and part of the side that is trying to make his legitimate American birth not legitimate.

Not hard, you lapdog, "journalist". Put on your big boy pants and suck it up.

[tanyev]

27. Romney can't make jokes, period.

It's because he's a humorless douchebag.

[tavalon]

25. Oh, and trying to find a way to give feedback on this poorly written piece is pointless

Rarely, these days, have I seen such a poorly designed website.

29. Nice

Best way to deal with Birthers stupidity is to turn it into a standing joke.
