Quick Fact: The "Birthers" Are Back

U.S. Representative Steve Stockman (R-Texas) is floating possible birther legislation to other members of his party.  Ted Yoho (R-Florida) told the folks at a recent town meeting in his home state that he would support Mr. Stockman's legislation if he were to present it to the House of Representatives.  

Mr. Yoho told the crowd that he felt the issue of President Obama's birth certificate was serving as a "distraction" from more important topics like the national debt.  He said that a thorough investigation could bring down the whole government--a result he said he was hopeful would happen. "If it is true, it's illegal, he shouldn't be there and we can get rid of everything he's done, and I said I agree with that."

Mr. Yoho is also the guy who claimed that the Affordable Care Act is racist because it calls for a tax on tanning booths.  Since he feels that white people are the only ones using tanning booths, that makes the ACA a racist law.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
