In Latest Compromise with GOP, Obama Agrees He is a Muslim
Place of Birth ‘Negotiable,’ President Says

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In his latest effort to find common
ground with Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama said today
that he was willing to agree that he is a Muslim.

Differences over his religious orientation have been a sore point between
the President and his Republican foes for the past two years, but in
agreeing that he is a Muslim Mr. Obama is sending a clear signal that he
is trying to find consensus.

“The American people do not want to see us fighting in Washington,” Mr.
Obama told reporters at the White House.  “They want to see us working
together to improve their lives, and Allah willing, we will.”

But Mr. Obama’s willingness to back down on his claim of being a Christian
does not seem to have satisfied his Republican opposition, as GOP leader
John Boehner (R-Ohio) today insisted that the President must also agree
that he was born in Kenya.

While Mr. Obama did not immediately agree to Rep. Bohener’s demand, he
hinted that yet another compromise might be in the offing: “My place of
birth has been, and will always be, negotiable.”

White House sources indicated today that the President might be willing to
meet the GOP halfway on his birthplace and say that he was born in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Elsewhere, moments after his capture in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange said, “I knew I shouldn’t have signed up for Foursquare.”
