Birther connundrum

Q: Wasn't McCain born in Panama?
A: On a US military base which, legally speaking, counts as a US territory.
Me: So does the US embassy in Nairobi. ;-)

Speaking in general terms, from my understanding:

Birthers are typically Right Wingers who contend that Obama is unqualified to be president because of the Constitutional requirement of "natural born citizenship" citing his reluctance to produce a birth certificate.

Or something.

Instead of looking at his record.

Truthers: Oh boy... I'm not sure how to classify them politically but my impression is they are typically something like a bizarre cross between leftist and libertarian who believes President Bush or the government or something was actually behind the WTC attacks instead of Muslim extremists.

Or maybe they were working together.

Or... something.

A massive cover-up of an "inside job" that fooled millions.

This assertion generally follows shortly on the heels of also insisting that Bush was a dumbass.

Pick one.

I'm sorry for all your work...I was trying to be funny, but I see it didn't work....the answer should be something to the effect of...nothing, except in the topic, they are all whackos.

But the effort you put was commendable anyway.
