Birthers Wonder If Obama Is Circumcised

Posted by brettsinger on August 26th, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Obama Undies for kidsFor some members of the Birther movement, it won’t be enough for President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate.

He’ll need to drop his pants.

So they can see whether or not he was circumcised.

Because as we all know, no real American has a foreskin.

Got that?

Jezebel points us to a thread on the Free Republic website, which they summarize thusly:

Commenters (and circumcised Americans) over at Free Republic struck on a revelation yesterday: if Barack Obama has not been circumcised, then he must not have been born in the United States. Why? Because all of their boys were circumcised.

The comments from Free Republic are in this vein: “A relative of mine was born (in a hospital) a couple of years after BO’s alleged birth date. He was circumcised also (as a matter of routine, not according to any family request).”

Oh! Well then. Of COURSE.

Perhaps these folks should spend a few moments perusing Babble. If they did, perhaps they would have found Cole’s piece from last year discussing the pros and cons of having your newborn son snipped. Or this story about the risks and benefits of the procedure. Because you have a choice in the matter. No one forces parents to have their boys’ foreskins removed in America.

This falls under the category of “huh”? Or, in the words of Gary Coleman:

Wouldn’t it be funny if they checked and the President was wearing underwear with his own photo on it? OK, not funny. But sometimes you have to laugh to keep from screaming obscenities.

Agree with “laugh to keep from screaming obscenities”. Will file for future use.

I would hope that he DOES have foreskin, given that it was used to “prevent blacks from raping white people” only a couple hundred years ago. It’s the equivalent of the “N” word. Circumcision is rape.

Commenter Hah, please refrain from smoking the ganja until 4:20 or after.

of course, if he was circumcised that would prove he is secretly Muslim, right?
