Fun Online Poll Results: Excuse me sir, where were you born?

With a day or so to go, the opinions on where Obama was born (opinions and beliefs being far more important than facts nowadays, two can play at that game) on a good turnout of 132 votes (thanks to everybody who voted, as ever) are as follows:

Runaway winner: Planet Krypton (33%)

Leaving that possibility aside, 37% reckoned he was disqualified from being US President:
Mombassa, Kenya (24%)
On an aeroplane from somewhere to somewhere else (4%)
It's irrelevant, he lost US citizenship when he was adopted by an Indonesian (9%)

And only 31% are True Believers:
Kapi'olani Medical Center, Honolulu (13%)
It's irrelevant, he will still Save The World (10%)
Queens Medical Center, Honolulu (7%)
Washington State (1%)

We remember how George W Bush took the shoe-throwing incident with good grace - I look forward to seeing how The Chosen One reacts when the first question at every press conference for the next four years is something along the lines of "Excuse me sir, where were you born?"

To lighten the mood a bit - this week's Fun Online Poll is Who is your favourite celebrity Kate?
