If the birthers’ old, tired narrative had been accurate - that Obama was born in Kenya to a mother from Kansas - that would have put Obama’s eligibility to be President exactly where it currently stands with Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada to a mother from the U.S.
Because of the birther narrative, Tea Party members howled during the Presidential election that Obama wasn’t eligible to be President, but there’s no evidence that the Cruz situation is so much as raising their eyebrows.
But never fear: a Tea Party member has an explanation for why they’re not upset about the Cruz situation:
“Canada is not really foreign soil.”
You just can’t make this stuff up.
The Tea Party member was unavailable for further comment, as she quickly mounted her dinosaur and rushed off to a meeting of the “Global Warming Is A Lie” lecture, which she was just briefing stopping by, to avoid being late to that night’s book burning.
