"Here are the big issues for normal people: the war, the economy, the environment, mending fences with our enemies and allies, and the rule of law.

"And here's the list of Republican obsessions since President Obama took office: that his birth certificate is supposedly fake, he uses a teleprompter too much, he bowed to a Saudi guy, Europeans like him, he gives inappropriate gifts, his wife shamelessly flaunts her upper arms, and he shook hands with Hugo Chavez and slipped him the nuclear launch codes.

"Do these sound like the concerns of a healthy, vibrant political party?"

-Bill Maher
