    First: There is no requirement for a baptism certificate in order to become president.

    In fact the US Constitution specifically holds that there shall be no religious bar to who can become president - Baptism is specifically a Christian religious ritual.

    Second: In this story there was a link to "Fight the Smears."

    On the front page of that site there is this:

    A copy of Obama's birth certificate.

    You sir, are a fucking moron.
