    Obama held Kenyan citizenship as a child.

    You have to go with a brainy villain and play up the over-educated angle.

    Magneto? Guess that's not as fun with photoshop.
    Lex Luthor? Hmmm...

    Marvin the Martian might be good, and he's even kind of dark, at least under the helmet... but he's too short.

    This is an indisputable fact, and is even confirmed on Obama's own website:
    “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

    Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

    If I remember correctly, the Wall Street Journal indicated that the drug smuggling was a part of the Reagan-Bush & Clinton years, not just Clinton, so I hardly see that as a "Mean spirited attack", but just investigative journalism.

    The jokes about his wife's sexuality were just that, jokes being made by everyone including mainstream comedians like Jay Leno. Hardly the same as "art" that looks like postage stamps with a gun to Bush's head, or the Obama as Curious George.

    While he may have no credibility, you lose some yourself if you can't just admit that you were wrong about this one.

    http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/does_barack_obama_have_kenyan_citizenship.html

    I do find it amusing that Trader_Jorge is so excited about actually being right for once and having evidence to back it up. :)

    Of course, those are completely different scenarios. If the black guy on the street is rumored to have been born in a specific place in Africa and you mention that specific place, then it would be somewhat analogous. The image posted specifically plays on the rumor that Obama was born in Kenya. The only thing possibly racist about it is the reference to a village as if being born in Kenya means he was automatically born in a village.

    Sorry, but Obama actually HAD dual citizenship with Kenya. Its not the same thing. If I walked up to a black guy who I knew was from Ireland and said "go back to Ireland"..would that be racist? I think not. Your making an incorrect assumption that you're talking about race, not country of origin.

    still, I would say that the sign is in poor taste, not racist though.

    One of the freedoms that we hold dear is to be able to disrespect the President. As a matter of decorum maybe we should be more tasteful but as an American I am not upset that our President is viciously lampooned.

    As others have noted vicious lampooning of the president isn't a new phenomenom. Through US history presidents have been portrayed as monkeys (Gen. McClellan called Lincoln that), filanderers and drunkards.

    TJ said Obama had a Kenyan citizenship as a child. First time I heard of it, so I asked for proof.

    The site basically says Obama had a dual citizenship. Doesn't change the fact that Obama is a US Citizen. And basically for TJ, means this his birther issue is moot.

    Of course, but you lose credibility yourself when you can't just say, "I guess you're right, I didn't know that." Admitting that doesn't change the fact that the birther stuff is nonsense. In fact, it makes the evidence against the birther theories that much more credible. In my opinion, of course.
