Too bad there isn’t a requirement that presidential candidates have to be American. The Founders thought that the gentlemen who were given the privilege of voting would have more sense than to elect someone with such an atypical background to the presidency. BO has absolutely nothing in common with the vast majority of U.S. citizens, having been brought up in a Leftist household with a hippie mother and a Muslim Communist father, who deserted him. He is a cold fish with zero personality who successfully bamboozled ignorant voters with his phony grin, tan skin, and the ability to read a teleprompter.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that during the constitutional debates about having a religious requirement, someone said something like, "well, what if they elect a Mohammedan?" to which the response was, basically, "if they are big enough idiots to do that, they get what they deserve." I have been looking for these records of the debate, but have not been able to find them. Anyone know what I refer to who can point me in the right direction?
