File this one under "you can't make this shit up."
The nutty birther woman who disrupted Oklahoma Congressman Markwayne Mullin's town hall meeting last week (ThinkProgress broke the story of this disgraceful incident) has something in common with President Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham: They had the same obstetrician! Dr. David Sinclair--a Honolulu obstetrician who died in 2003--delivered both the nutty birther woman's son and President Barack Obama.
The nutty birther woman provided her son's birth certificate to the birther-pimping, right wing "news" site WorldNetDaily in 2010. (I redacted the personal information.)
Here's a close-up of the doctor's name and signature.
And here is the doctor's signature from President Obama's birth certificate:
The nutty birther woman confirmed her doctor's name on a birther "news" site the day President Obama released his long-form birth certificate in 2011. (The original post is now behind a paywall, but it was quoted and reposted on several other sites. The quote below is from
getbig.com.)
It is indeed convenient that Dr. David A. Sinclair, who coincidentally was my OB/GYN who delivered my son, [redacted], has passed therefore he cannot attest to the fact of obama’s birth.
Yes, nutty birther woman. It is sure "convenient" that a doctor who was almost 60 years old when he delivered your son in 1981 is now dead and can't attest to attending the birth of the future President of the United States.
Nor can he attest to your son's birth. How do we know he wasn't born in Kenya? Hmmm...

Note: I debated over whether to post this story. I'm hesitant to give the nutty birther woman publicity because, though it is difficult for sane people to believe, I think she is rather proud of herself for standing up to Rep. Mullin. But this really is a great story highlighting what is a remarkable coincidence and demonstrating some of the absurdities of birthers and birtherism. So I chose to tell the story but not use her name.
