President Obama To Appear On Mythbusters
Muondecay writes "President Obama will be featured in the December 8th MythBusters episode, 'Archimedes Solar Ray,' during which he will challenge Adam and Jamie to revisit an ancient and somewhat controversial myth: Did Greek scientist and polymath Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun during the Siege of Syracuse? This is part of a White House effort to highlight the importance of science education."
...go hand in hand.
Even if he was born outside the USA, as I was, he could still be president, as I could. You have to be natural born, not native born. The difference is that one can be natural born a US citizen if one parent is a US citizen no matter where one is born.
Also he was born in Hawaii, you stupid troll.
Frankly, I don't have a lot of respect for people who read magazines. Pulp crap frankly, unless you're talking about something like Science, which is better categorized as a journal.

He was a blank slate that let everyone believe whatever they wanted to believe about him.
In reality, the man is weak, politically inept, arrogant, and unable to see the world outside of his own academic contextualization.
It's our own fault. That is not to say I think McCain would have been a good choice either.
We hired someone for the job that was as close to picking someone randomly off the street as we've ever done. We should have demanded credentials, experience... anything. We should have done our homework.
One usually publishes a lot in that job. Obama published, what, one paper ever? Compare his output in the jobs he's had against what one would usually see - there is an objective measure here. But then, all criticism however slight of the One Great True Messiah shalt be punished with downmods on /.. Man, November's really gonna sting.
