Apparently multi-ethnic, globally schooled, Hawaii born and bred Barack Obama just isn’t complex or exotic enough for folks.

The darker corners of the blogosphere keep looking for something mysterious or unknown about the candidate. Aren’t the facts enough?

The Obama campaign is concerned enough to launch its own anti-rumor website, but that’s a little like Whack-a-Mole. Knock down one and another pops up.

A favorite among the conspiracy theorists is the absence of a birth certificate for Obama, who came into the world on Aug. 4, 1961. The Obama campaign has provided a copy of the certificate, and you can see it HERE.

But apparently that’s not good enough. Conspiracy folks want the original dog-eared version, apparently.

If they get it, they’ll just move on to the next goofy rumor. Apparently looking at what the candidate actually says and promises to do is just too much work.

(And we’ll thank you not to follow up with jokes about the McCain birth certificate being written on papyrus)
