'Birther' congress-critters run from Huffington Post video reporter


Funny video of congress-critters running away from a Huffington Post reporter because they don't want to answer the question, "Is Barack Obama is an American?" If they say yes, they will offend their 'birther' wing-nut base. If they say no, they will be seen as 'birther' wing-nuts. So, they run.

Only one, Trent Franks of Arizona, gives a correct and clear answer, but even he can't help himself from suggesting that Obama is facilitating Jihad and turning America into a socialist state.

Folks, this is what it has come to. The most powerful people in the world -- nationally elected legislators responsible for setting policy for the most powerful country on earth -- are lining up with cuckoo-bat-shit-crazy elements of the lunatic fringe.

And they have to. It's their base.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

When it comes to the world at large, you've always been able to smile and have them thinking that you're on the same page, whether or not that happens to be true.
That's going to be even more the case now -- but if you have feelings you really do need to share, don't stifle them for the sake of being nice.
You don't have to offend anyone.
Just excuse yourself and find a loved one you're sure understands you.

Okay.
