Obama gaffes yet again!

President Obama called his opponent, Mitt Romney, "George" last night at a fundraiser in New York.

George Romney (right) was Mitt's father, a former governor of Michigan who briefly sought the presidency in 1968. He was hounded out of the race when he described misinformation he had received about Vietnam from the Johnson administration as "brainwashing." A president's brain, the media sanctimoniously decided, should not be so easily "washed."

Like Obama himself, the elder Romney's constitutional qualifications to be president were challenged. Unlike Obama, however, George Romney actually was born on foreign soil, specifically in Mexico. His parents, however, were both American citizens. Controversy arose over whether being born an American citizen of American parents on foreign soil disqualified the elder Romney from being considered a "natural-born" citizen within the meaning of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.

Contrary to popular belief, the Constitution does not require that a president be native born. Which, in any case (despite the insistence of certain right wing whack jobs, including Donald Trump) President Obama is, anyway.
