The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I'm pretty sure that the comment meant that every day average working Americans have to show their birth certificate to prove their eligible tow work in this country not that every worker has to show it every day.

Which is true. Of course, they can also, instead of a birth certificate show a passport or social security card which Obama has regardless of whether he's faking his place of birth.

Though now I'm wondering if the president's first day in the White House is spend doing all the first-day paperwork a new job usually entails.

Yes, I read it the same way. But, with 19 other forms of identification accepted as identification for work, it's still a patently stupid statement (without even broaching the subject that Obama has produced the legal equivalent of his birth certificate).
