ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- It's that birther thing again.
President
Barack Obama was at an Orlando sports bar, snapping a University of
Florida Gators' sign, sipping a pint and working a crowd when he walked
up to a table with five children.
One adult points to one of the boys,
7-year-old Andre Wupperman of Orlando, and informs the president that
the boy was born in Hawaii, the president's native state.
The
president, delighted, greeted the boy with a "shaka" sign, the pinky
and thumb gesture typical of Hawaiian culture. The boy gestured back.
"You were born in Hawaii?" the president said. Then he added teasingly: "You have a birth certificate?"
The
patrons at Gator's Dockside, clearly aware of the discredited claims
that Obama was not born in the United States, broke up laughing.
