This is not progress.

Way to go, Georgia.  Way to go.
Georgia is the latest state to propose legislation that questions whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S., joining 10 other states who have measures that want more proof before his name is put on the 2012 ballot.
Seriously.  Congratulations on an active attempt to confirm the stereotypes of your state and the south.  I'm going to pop a bottle of Bollinger Grande Année 1990 and party in your honour.  No, really, you've earned it.
The 10 other states with pending bills include: Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Connecticut, Indiana, Nebraska, Tennessee and Maine. The measure has failed this year in Montana.
Let's see.  Governor Walker, a hero of the tea party*, is trying to spar with President Obama in the media, there are Republican majorities in both the Senate and Assembly and those Senate Republicans have a Voter ID bill on the floor.. Wisconsin, obviously, won't soon be in line to join Georgia and the other ten states.  Nope, that won't be happening.

* -- I refuse to capitalize 'tea party'.  Never before, not now, not ever.

  1. If by some stretch that a few states successfully pulls this off, I wonder if Obama could qualify as a write-in candidate. I can't believe we're even discussing this. If a president lost re-election because of a gimmic like this our national prestigue will be severely and irreparably damaged. Birthers - you stay classy.
