It looks like someone working for President Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign has a sense of humor.
The campaign is capitalizing on the “birther” controversy — literally.
Despite calling those who doubted he was born in Hawaii “sideshows and carnival barkers” for distracting the American public with “silliness,” his campaign has started selling T-shirts that make light of the issue.
For a $25 donation, you too can own a shirt that features, on the front, a picture of the president under which reads the line “Made in the USA.” The back shows a copy of the president’s long-form birth certificate.
