Just when you thought birtherism was dead, it has come back to life in the great state of...New Hampshire. You thought I was going to say Texas didn't you? Two Republican lawmakers, as if that needs to be pointed out anymore, Laurence Rappaport and Carol and Lucien Vita, are making the claim that Obama cannot be President because his father was Kenyan. Apparently, it does not matter where the child is born, only where the parents are! They want an investigation as to whether he can legally appear on the 2012 Presidential ballot in the state.
Racism will never die. It's hard to tell whether the lawmakers are actually racist, or if they are simply pandering to racist voters in order to appease them, knowing full well that questions about Obama's citizenship are idiotic as best. The amount of pandering the majority of Republican lawmakers have done on this issue in order to attract racist white votes is appalling. And history will look back at the first black President of the United States and see that the opposition party's claim to fame was saying no to anything of significance, and questioning the citizenship of the man.
