Dear PM Gordon Brown,
I don’t know if you follow politics on this side of the pond, but recently there’s been this hoopla over here about allegations of President-elect Barack Hussein Obama holding dual citizenship. Some idiots are claiming he’s a dual national and has British citizenship because his father was a British subject. As you may already know, our Constitution requires our Presidents to be a US citizen (sorry, you’re out of the running. Ha ha!).
The idea of Barack Obama being anything other than a 100% loyal American is just plain poppycock! So I thought it best if I went right to the source and asked if you could look into it and come out and say it isn’t true! Well, unless it is true (that would be embarrassing).
I am going to ask you straight up, is President-elect Barack Hussein Obama also secretly a subject of Her Majesty’s? I promise I’ll let people over here know what you say. I’m hoping he’s not just 50% loyal American, but will brace myself for the worst.
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
p.s. any way I could get an autographed photo for girlfriend? Just make it out to “[

This is a perfect example of why it is often better not to write at all than to do it poorly. If there’s one thing you are going to do correctly in a letter make sure you get the person’s name right. I realize that postal mail doesn’t have fancy options like cut & paste, but proofreading is still an option. Jorgensten?
And what are they hiding? By ignoring my questions I can only conclude, yes, Obama is indeed a British citizen. Great, once Barack is the President we’ll all have to start speaking whatever language they speak over in England! I don’t know about you, but I’m getting too old to go learning new tricks.
I woke up this morning and made this video and uploaded it to that fancy youtube place. I hope you like it. Mostly I did it for all you illiterate people.
