Wingnuts let foreign governments remove Obama

In a full-page ad in the far-right Washington Times, the wingnut brain trust has introduced one of its stupidest memes in years.

Now that they've apparently given up trying to "prove" President Obama is a Kenyan citizen, their latest argument is that he's actually British. They cite a British law that gives British citizenship to people who have a parent who is a British subject. Wingnuts argue that because Kenya was a colony of the U.K., this law applies to Obama even though he was born in America.

Um, no.

American laws say Obama is a U.S. citizen. It doesn't matter what Britain's laws say, because Obama isn't a British resident - and never was. The U.K. law that the wingnuts cited doesn't apply when someone has never lived in Britain and is a citizen of a country other than Britain.

But here's the real gauge of wingnut stupidity: If this British citizenship law applied to Obama, that means any country in the world could remove the President of the United States from office simply by granting them citizenship.

Well, that means New America could have just removed Bush from power by making him a citizen. Gotcha there, conservos!
