Chris Matthews Sees Japan Earthquake an Opportunity for Obama to Remind People He Was Born in Hawaii

Hundreds if not thousands of people are dead due to a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But at least it gave Barack Obama an avenue to remind everyone he was born in Hawaii. That's the silver lining for MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

"Was this sort of a good opportunity for the president to remind everybody that he grew up in the United States and Hawaii?"

That's a question that Chris Matthews posed to MSNBC host and White House corresondent Chuck Todd about President Obama taking a question from a Japanese reporter during a news conference earlier today at the White House.

Matthews pegged this question on the fact that there are many persons of Japanese heritage who live in the Hawaiian islands, which were themselves impacted by smaller tsunami resulting from the earthquake.

"That's the first thing I thought of," Matthews insisted. "Such a large number of people believe he grew up in [Kenya], they're buying this thing that's coming from Huckabee," Matthews insisted.

The word from Hawaii this evening is that the tsunami has completely destroyed the Honolulu Hall of Birth Records. Aftereffects of this disaster are not immediately known.

And just before the genuine long form was about to be released, this tragic Act of Something washed it out to sea.

How tragic.

Since there's absolutely no connection between Japan's earthquake and Barack 0bama being born in Hawaii, here's a picture of Bristol Palin's new boyfriend and the squirrel guy.

“Born in” vs. “grew up in” (Huckabee said “grew up in”)

“the United States and Hawaii” (I thought Hawaii WAS the United States)

Funny choice of words by Matthews.

They’ve got the birth certificate on the brain. They just feel this need to talk about the thing they don’t want to talk about.

I came home and today the DH had that station on..gag...and I heard this imbecile make that remark. I told DH that this is a typical remark from this skunk ( no wait that gives skunk a bad name) this Jackbutt and demanded to change the station. How dare he take this tragedy and make it a political joke...but then he subscribes to “never let a crisis go to waste”. Classless jerk...
