The Obama campaign has released the limited-edition mugs in response to the ongoing conspiracy theories suggesting that our president was not born in America. In response to the most recent "birther" debacle in New Hampshire (where the State House is supporting a hearing initiated by "birthers" who want to leave Obama off of the state presidential ballot.) Anyway, the mug says born in the USA, and has a copy of the long-form birth certificate. To get the mug, you have to donate $20 to the campaign. I consider the mug less of a political stance and more of a political statment. The statement being that these red herrings are getting annoying and distracting from issues that are relevant to America's citizenry. I may not be able to wait until Christmas for this.
