I once thought that, barring death, Barack Obama would become the next president of the United States in a few months. I was wrong.

Apparently there are several groups that haven’t given up on the dream of keeping African Americans out of the White House.

Slate ran a story today that lists a few and then asks the inevitable question — What the hell?

It’s time to move on, guys. Obama’s not an illegal citizen, a Muslim (so what if he was?) or a terrorist. Those theories have all been put to rest numerous times.

But, in honor of the crackpots mentioned in slate, here are a few other crazy theories:

Obama is an atomic weapon

The dinosaur theory

And, finally, barbaric!

I know it’s not a conspiracy theory, but it is terrific.
