Some people are really having a difficult time facing the reality of a Black president, so difficult in fact, citizens from 20 states  — and counting — have filed petitions at We The People on WhiteHouse.gov to be granted permission to leave the union.

The people are from: Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Colorado, New Jersey, Montana, Missouri, North Dakota, Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New York, Arkansas, and Oregon.

According to the terms of participation for “We The People,” as of October 3, 2011, petitions that meet the listed criteria become searchable on WhiteHouse.gov once — and if — they reach 150 signatures within 30 days. If that is accomplished, for President Obama to actively consider a petition, it must reach 25,000 signatures within the remainder of the same 30-day period.

The White House reserves the right to change the time limit and number of signatures required.

Bottom line: while it’s understandable that many conservatives have an aversion to these little things called “facts,” President Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America.

They need to either deal with that or get a passport.
