HE WUZ HATCHED FROM A EGG

Is Barack Obama A Secret Australian From The 1950s?

This might explain his affinity for socialized medicine.
Assuming the president is even human, can anybody verify from which woman’s birth canal he sprang, and where, and when? The answer is no, until Barack Obama produces 1) a valid long-form birth certificate with coffee stains to make it look “real” and also 2) a 47-year-old mucus plug. (Note: do not Google “mucus plug” until after lunch.) But in lieu of this evidence, we are left to wonder whether Barack Obama was born in Kenya at all if somebody dug up a birth certificate from South Australia that looks SUSPICIOUSLY like his Kenyan one.

Some enterprising soul at Politijab spent a few hours Googling around for birth certificates that looked vaguely Kenyan in aspect (racism much???), and came across one from Australia that looks weirdly similar. Except it’s not for Barry Hussein Sorento at all, it’s for some dude named David Bomford.

This should finally put to rest all the birthers’ concerns, because now we have definitive proof that Barack Obama is actually a 50-year-old (presumably?) white man from Australia. Or do we?

    Can’t we just agree that he’s Not of This World and everyone can go home happy?

  2. Carl Spakler says at 10:40 am, August 4th, 2009

    So…Obama is an Aussie now? I thought he was a British Subject/Kenyan/Pakistani/Native Hawaiian using his genuine Al Qeada issued passport in order to pal around with an assortment of no-goodniks.

    Geeze, the birthers have me confused. Message discipline people, message discipline.

  3. Bill E Pilgrim says at 10:41 am, August 4th, 2009

    Okay, so he’s black on top and white down under.

    Problem solved.

    He’s not African or American, he’s Neapolitan.

  4. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:41 am, August 4th, 2009

    …what?! There werent any Martian birth certificates available to use as a template?!

  5. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:41 am, August 4th, 2009

  6. hobospacejunkie says at 10:42 am, August 4th, 2009

    So David Bomford should rightfully be our 44th president, is what you’re saying?

  7. Doglessliberal says at 10:43 am, August 4th, 2009

  9. norbizness says at 10:44 am, August 4th, 2009

    (recycled comment)

  10. You know, of course, this won’t slow the birthers down one bit. If repeated assurances by the State of Hawaii didn’t convince them, nothing will.

  11. CrunchyKnee says at 10:45 am, August 4th, 2009

    I for one welcome our new Aussie overlord, also too.

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 10:46 am, August 4th, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: He did admit publicly that he was born on Krypton. Awfully ‘convenient’ that the Kryptonian Department of Health was ‘destroyed’

  14. qwerty42 says at 10:46 am, August 4th, 2009

    I dunno … looks to me like it all some sort of British plot to take over the US (note how they’ve cleverly used parts of their sinister empire to orchestrate this) … I suspect MI-5. Where is Lyndon LaRouche when you need him?

    well Obama does like his beer ya reckon.

  17. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:48 am, August 4th, 2009

    …I guess this will require a new addition to Barack Obama’s current birther title of Socialist, Muslim, Aetheist, Abortion Doctor, Racist, Manchurian, Kenyan Presidential Imposter? Somehow they will have to fit “White Aboriginal” in there!

  18. shadowMark says at 10:50 am, August 4th, 2009

    Happy birthday Barack! Or Barry. Or Ludwig. Whatever your name is. Happy birthday Mr. President, whoever you are. I mean whomever you are. Who or whom? Jesus fucking Christ everything is so fucking complicated these stupid fucking days…

  19. SmutBoffin says at 10:50 am, August 4th, 2009

    Well, Barry O. is the result of a recombo-DNA program aimed at creating a super-Muslin Emperor. He was built from scratch with genes from Ayatollah Khomenei, Karl Marx, and Yahoo Serious.

  20. magic titty says at 10:50 am, August 4th, 2009

    The sun never sets on the British Empire, nor doest the empire ever update its letterhead apparently. What, mayhap does Queen Peggy of Noonanshire think of all this?

  26. Formerly Preferred says at 10:57 am, August 4th, 2009

    David Bomford’s parents are part of the conspiracy. In 1959, two years before Obama’s birth, Bomford’s parents were sent to Australia by Bill Ayers in order to give birth to their son…and create this certificate, so that it could be used 50 years later to create a forgery that would discredit the birther movement and distract people from the real story.

    It’s in Revelations, people.

  27. So when can we expect Socialism Dreaming to go follow his dreamline?

  28. Now I’m in Australia! Now I’m in America!

    Australia! America! Australia! America!

    I’m pretty sure he was born by a river, in a little, tent. And just like that river, he’s been runnin’ ever since.

  33. catsquatch says at 11:09 am, August 4th, 2009

    You should all be fired for failing to recognize a forged Australian birth certificate when you see one. Clearly this is an effort to discredit Dr. Taintz and her magnificent find.

  34. The Cold Sea says at 11:10 am, August 4th, 2009

    Hah! Silly Oral Taint. The bitch is psycho!

  35. Obama should acknowledge this meme by throwing some shrimp on the barbie during the next White House picnic.

  36. Carrie_Okie says at 11:16 am, August 4th, 2009

    Does he has a birth certificate for being BORN AGAIN? WELL DOES HE? HUH? HUH?!!!! MUZLINZ!

  37. iolanthe says at 11:16 am, August 4th, 2009

    Speaking of Orly, I also find that some of the right-wing-nuttiest of all right wing nuts are Russian and Middle European ex-pats. Hell, I know one young dude from Georgia (the former SSR, not the US State) who’s Farther Right than Limbaugh, Rove, and all the Cheneys mashed together.

    In their eyes, because out-of-control and thoroughly corrupt Communism was all bad ‘n’ stuff, then, obviously, out-of-control and thoroughly corrupt *Capitalism* must just always be awesome, perfect, a virtual heaven on earth that can do no wrong!

    Hard to talk to these folks.

  38. President Beeblebrox says at 11:17 am, August 4th, 2009

    NO WAIT, THE OBOTS HACKED ORLY’S COPY!!!!11 Srsly, I read it on the interwebs.

  39. Elm Hugger says at 11:18 am, August 4th, 2009

    This begs an important question, who will he root for during the America’s Cup? Australia or US? That is going to be a tough one.

  40. badmuthagoose says at 11:18 am, August 4th, 2009

    I’m so confused. He’s Indonesian, Kenyan, Australian, American, Krypton, Martian, black, Christian, Muslim, basketball-playin’, constitutional law professorin’, WHAT IS HE? I just don’t want to offend my Socialist Overlord.

    How about we just make him Canadian and be done with it? Huh, birthers? How about that? A perfectly harmless Canadian. Like Pamela Anderson or that guy who wore a knit hat and drank a lot of beer.

  41. jodyleek says at 11:18 am, August 4th, 2009

    If Ornery Tits would just release her ‘original’ of Barry’s BC, then it could be forensically tested to determine if the paper and ink compositions are from the 60s or if they are modern.

    WHY WONT YOU RELEASE THE BIRF CERTIPICATE, ORNERY TITS?

  42. Carl Spakler says at 11:19 am, August 4th, 2009

    AxmxZ: Indeed, the next beer summit could feature Fosters and Victoria Bitter. Then have Rahm clear the legislative deck of all these other trivial matters to push for Paul Hogan Appreciation Day

  43. finallyhappy:

    They had that for the Inaguration, too. My six yr old niece had a great time discussing how much she “roots for Obama” with the nice people who run the shop.

  44. Wet Work says at 11:22 am, August 4th, 2009

    The name “David” is derived from the Biblical Hebrew name דָּוִד, meaning “Beloved”, whereas the Hebrew form of the name “Barak” is Baruch, meaning “Blessed”. Beloved, blessed, what’s the dif?

    BOMford, OBaMa, see what I’m getting at here?

    IT’S THE JEWS!!!

  45. Carl Spakler says at 11:24 am, August 4th, 2009

    Ya know, this could be the grand unifying theory of conspiracy theories…something which neatly ties together Rosewell, Area 51, the Kennedy, King and Malcolm X Assassinations, the moon landing, Katrina, 9/11…throw in an Amelia Erhart, Elvis and DB Cooper love triangle just for fun.

  46. ManchuCandidate says at 11:26 am, August 4th, 2009

    Once a jolly Bomford camped by a billabong
    Under the glare of a wingnutter site,
    And he sang as he cut and pasted docs ’til his billy boiled
    “You’ve come from the Republic of Kenya, Barry”

    Republic of Kenya, Republic of Kenya
    “You’ve come from the Republic of Kenya, Barry”
    And he sang as he cut and pasted docs ’til his billy boiled
    “You’ve come from the Republic of Kenya, Barry”

  47. widget09 says at 11:26 am, August 4th, 2009

    I think it makes more sense to google “mucas plug” before lunch, you may save some lunch money, after lunch, your lunch vcould end up on your monitor, ala power barf!

  48. Dreamer says at 11:27 am, August 4th, 2009

    I knew he was an aboriginal. He was never a convincing negro - with those pitiful dance moves, please.

  49. An obvious forgery, as Kenyan birth certificates are printed on roughly-cured waterbuffalo hide and written in the blood of sacrificial voodoo chickens.

    Also, nobody ’springs’ from a birth canal unless pushed out by East German Olympic athletes.

  50. vkladchik says at 11:30 am, August 4th, 2009

    The real questions are where was Sarah Palin born, where was Meghan McCain born, and where in the solar system were these people born: Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and others of their ilk. Are they United States citizens? Many people think they’re aliens!

  55. Kingbee says at 11:41 am, August 4th, 2009

    I voted for Obama because I thought he was a white man, so now I am vindicated.

  56. Baconcat says at 11:42 am, August 4th, 2009

    It makes sense. Everybody remember when he won, how he came out onto the stage with a KB oilcan in his hand, dancing a shanty and singing

    ‘In South Australia I was born,
    heave away, haul away!
    In South Australia ’round cape horn!
    ’cause I’m from South Australia!’

    Haul away you rolling King!

  68. user-of-owls says at 12:35 pm, August 4th, 2009

    In a comment yesterday, I speculated on the very bad day some hapless telephone operators in Mombasa (at the hospital, the city clerk’s office, etc.) they undoubtedly had trying to answer an avalanche of deranged lunatics calling from US America.

    Now this poor bastard Bomford is in for even worse.

    I truly cannot decide whether ruining the days of random anonymous schmucks worldwide is the most awesome piece of performance art ever or just indiscriminate terrorism.

  69. S.Luggo says at 12:40 pm, August 4th, 2009

    The certificate does not list the race as “devil”. Ergo definitely phony.

  70. Gopherit: Does that mean we’ll be subjected to a new arts program that will force “world music” into the ears of defenseless Americans? That’s a digeriDON’T.

    Don Juanquete: I said happy birthday way back near the start of the comments. How many times can we say happy birthday without giving away the secret that most of us write these comments from inside the White House? Oh, damn it, what a giveaway! Never mind.
