For two years we have bombarded with the “birther” crap….is Obama really an American citizen?  The Right has been fanning this divisive pile of bovine fecal matter for a long time and it just keeps getting more and more outrageous…..some politicians will not say that it is crap…they beat around the bush and refuse to call these whack jobs out for wasting time and energy on total crap….

I have said there is one way to make this whole “birther” thing disappear……(pause for effect)…..the only way this will go away is if Obama wakes up tomorrow morning white!  It is that simple…this is only a cover for racist bullsh*t…..

But now, a Repub candidate has come out of the wood pile and started acting like an adult….Mitt Romney….NO!  I am not supporting him in any way…just giving a man his props for doing the right thing….

Found this on Newser…..

Mitt Romney tackled the “birther” issue in his first interview since announcing that he is exploring a White House run. “I think the citizenship test has been passed. I believe the president was born in the United States,” Romney told CNBC, suggesting that his fellow Republicans should focus on more substantive issues. “The man needs to be taken out of office, but his citizenship isn’t the reason why.”

While this is a noble gesture….there is a history in his family along these lines…..

……in the ’60s when his father, George Romney, was seeking the Republican nomination. The Michigan governor was born to American parents in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico. Romney’s opponents labeled him “Chihuahua George” but his eligibility for the presidency was never seriously challenged.

Like I said…..the only reason this is an issue is because we have an African-American as the president…..and some just cannot deal with that……
