And of course, is was not born in Hawaii either (that birth certificate must have been a forgery, and there has been a massive conspiratorial coverup about it all).
The “birther ending” of Hobo Orgy Guy & Blondie remains the most plausible account of how Obama could have been born in Kenya:

Here's what I never got about the birther thing: Let's say Obama was born in Kenya instead of Hawaii. He'd still be a US citizen and eligible for the Presidency by virtue of his mother being an American citizen (a la Cruz or George Romney), so what's the big deal?
My recollection is that the law is a bit more complicated than that re: children of one American parent born abroad being citizens themselves. Or at least, it was as of 1961, when Obama was born.
