A recent PPP poll reveals that a majority of Republicans are “Birthers.” A “Birther” is someone who expresses doubt that President Obama is an American who was born in Hawaii in 1961 despite overwhelming evidence that is the case and absolutely no proof otherwise.

American voters seem to agree: None of the potential Republican challengers to President Obama in 2012 are worthy of becoming President. They are a bunch of clowns.
