It looks like someone working for President Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign has a sense of humor.
The campaign is capitalizing on the “birther” controversy — literally.
Despite calling those who doubted he was born in Hawaii “sideshows and carnival barkers” for distracting the American public with “silliness,” his campaign has started selling T-shirts that make light of the issue.
