Fun Online Poll: One day to go!

I personally don't think much of the rule that only 'natural born US citizens' may become US President, as that excludes Arnold Schwarzenegger, but hey, rules is rules and they apply to Obama as well.

Even ignoring the 32% who reckon that he was born on Planet Krypton, 44 people reckoned he doesn't qualify and even among the 36 Obama-believers, opinions are hotly divided - 16 voted for Kapi'olani Medical Center, Honolulu and 8 for Queens Medical Center, Honolulu*. 11 reckoned it doesn't matter as He Will Save The World and 1 voted for Washington State.

I'm going to call this one tomorrow evening - once he's inaugurated on Tuesday, the whole issue will be brushed under the carpet, so please ... place your bets now

* It is amazing that he never bothered to get his story straight, which is a good measure of his sheer unadulterated arrogance.

I've gone on ad nauseam about this one. The non-president is about to lay claim to being a Lincoln now.

JH, I know - you were the one you got me thinking about this again with this fine article.

"who" not "you", obviously.

If he isn't from planet Krypton, we're doomed.

You missed out the most obvious choice - "In a manger".

MA, we're doomed then.

G-B, I didn't include that because I didn't want to get into a ruck with the Christians.

Too late, we're gonna get you for whatever you said last time. Turning the other cheek is .. so last millenium.

Never mind Arnold Schwarzenegger, the rule excludes Leslie Nielsen as well! What a wasted opportunity.

Of course, nothing on the web is real, but: http://www.politifact.com/media/img/graphics/birthCertObama.jpg

That 404 error message seems real enough to me.
