Rush Limbaugh’s surprising claim that Barack Obama is “not black” and “not African American” (he’s Arab!) brought some persuasive counter theories to the fore, including this from reader “kbhvac”:

“O’bama is really Irish. That is why he praised his republican kinsman Ronald Reagan…. His favorite breakfast cereal is, you guessed it. Lucky Charms. Just look at resemblance between o’bama and the leprecan. Who does not associate Chicago with the Irish? How else to explain a man rising from community organizer to candidate for President of the United States of America in just a few years. It has to be the luck of the Irish!”
