A thought:

How much of the "Obama wasn't REALLY born in the USA" stuff do you think comes from people who misread or misheard "Obama is a Keynesian" as "Obama is a Kenyan"?

Do you think there really is that much overlap in terms of news sources? (I really have no idea.)

I could imagine that someone on one of the Fox News shows was discussing economic policy, and mentioned that Obama is a Keynesian, and that audience members misinterpreted it. Don't know if it has ever happened, but I can imagine it.
