While campaigning in Florida over the weekend President Obama dropped in on patrons at Gator's Dockside Restaurant in Orlando. Speaking with a table of 10 people, the president was introduced to seven-year-old Andre Wupperman who was born in Hawaii. After hearing this, Obama raised the shaka, a surfer greeting, to the boy and said, "You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?" 

Everyone at the table laughed, but one can assume birthers are shaking their fists somewhere. The president's got jokes. The president don't care.
