Some right-wing website out there is trying to stir things up by suggesting that Michelle Obama never gave birth to the First Couple's daughters, Malia and Sasha.
At first I thought theuspatriot.com was a version of The Onion, but apparently it's a site that likes to throw around every conspiracy theory that the far right can muster. The claim that the Obama girls may have been adopted, according to this site, is based on the idea that baby pics of Malia and Sasha never seem to make it into the public eye.
In other words, birtherism redux.
Here is what the site reported:
"While some Americans feel that the two girls have very little resemblance to their parents, others claim that the pair were adopted from Morocco. Similar to their father, there is very little evidence surrounding the two girls’ birth and background. Online searches for either of their birth records come up completely dry.
"Ancestry.com and GenealogyBank.com have no records of the two sisters.
"While we’ve seen pictures of Barack and Michelle dating before they had children, we have seen very little of the period of time when Malia and Sasha were born. And no one has ever claimed to see a picture of the First Lady pregnant or with a newborn."
Roll your eyes all you want. But just wait until Donald Trump and Michele Bachmann sink their teeth into this one.
