Failed Test-tube Baby-in-Chief Obama is enjoying talk of his birth defects

The mad Mahdi, Barack Hussein Obama, is laughing it up over the controversy that swirls around his missing birth certificate.

Also, someone is writing really bad jokes for the Shadow-in-Chief.

We’ll see how funny he thinks it all is come May 17th when this zooms up to #1 on the NY Times best seller list, and stays there.

(POLITICO) (h/t Weasel Zippers) — The president appears to be loving the whole Obama-wasn’t-born-here myth.

At a lunch on Capitol Hill on St. Patrick’s Day, Obama told an audience that included plenty of Republicans that “some are still bent on peddling rumors about my origins.” But he wasn’t talking about what you’d think he was alluding to:

“Now, speaking of ancestry, there has been some controversy about my own background. Two years into my presidency, some are still bent on peddling rumors about my origins. So today, I want to put all those rumors to rest. It is true my great-great-great-grandfather really was from Ireland. It’s true. Moneygall, to be precise. I can’t believe I have to keep pointing this out.”

Obama cracked his laugh line just a week after rattling off another birther joke he used to address the persistent claim among some conservatives that he wasn’t born in Hawaii, but rather in Kenya.

At a Boston fundraiser on March 8, Obama told supporters: “There’s no weakness in us trying to reach out and seeing if we can find common ground. Now, there are going to be times where we can’t. I was born in Hawaii, what can I say? I mean, I just — I can’t — I can’t change those facts.”

And, at the Gridiron Club dinner this past weekend, Obama took the stage and ordered the band to switch from playing Hail to the Chief to Born in the USA, by Bruce Springsteen.

The rate at which Obama is riffing on the birthers has sped up since he took office. But he’s treated the myth lightly before, like at the National Prayer Breakfast in February 2010, when he said his critics can question his policies without questioning his faith — “or, for that matter, my citizenship.”

And at last year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Obama said love is one of the best things in life — “well, love and a birth certificate.” He added, “I happen to know that my approval ratings are still very high in the country of my birth.”
