COMMENTARY President Barack Obama is campaigning in Hawaii this week.
During a news conference for the 19th annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation leader's summit on Sunday, the president gave birthers the answer they have been waiting for, that Obama was not born in America.
The media seemingly focused on the "magic beans" statement Obama made during the speech but completely glossed over the part where the president said of his birth state of Hawaii, "Here in Asia."
If Hawaii is in Asia, then the president was not born in the U.S. You win, birthers.
This is not the first gaffe the president has made regarding his birth state and the U.S. in general. During his campaign, Obama claimed to have visited 57 states, not including Alaska and Hawaii.
Compounding these gaffes with others such as when he stated his approval ratings were dropping but are still "very high in the country of my birth," one can almost hear the wheels grinding back to life in the birther movement.
Obviously, this is not the first presidential gaffe of the Obama administration. It's not even the first gaffe this month.

ReplyDelete5:55, I guess your comment proves people do make mistakes. Until you are forced to travel around the world and speak to audiences big and small, spare the critiques
ReplyDeletebirthers win? hmmmmm NO ONE has won with this illegitimate president. we have ALL LOST. hopefully we have time to turn this around; but i'm not sure anymore.
ReplyDeleteAnyone can make a mistake--look at Rick Perry if you want to see a "bozo". How tired would YOU be if you had to travel the world, make dozens of speeches a week, and plus serve as the President! Bet YOU couldn't handle it! Are you birthers saying the State of Hawaii LIES about birth certificates! And just WHY was it ok anyway for McCain to NOT be born in the U.S. and run for President? Hmmmm? Obama's mother was an American Citizen and anyone who is born to a citizen is a citizen wherever they would be born anyway, but HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII, which is actually NOT part of the North American continent, so yes people DO get confused...
