Actor Charlie Sheen sent a message on Twitter Thursday afternoon mocking Barack Obama for working on his NCAA tournament bracket instead of giving attention to U.S. soldiers.
The tweet, written to sound like Ebonics and intentionally morphing Obama’s name, makes reference to an unknown soldier’s funeral and links to a screen shot of the President on TV discussing his “Barack-etology†bracket for the college basketball tournament.Sheen amplified attention to his critique with his permutation of Obama’s name, “Barry Soetero Kenya.†Most of the press has taken this flourish as a nod to the Birther movement–those who believe Obama was born in Kenya, not the United States.This is not the first time Sheen has flirted with Birtherism. In 2011, he explicitly said he was skeptical of the President being a natural-born citizen and the legitimacy of the birth certificate Obama released to the public.Sheen told a live audience in Washington, DC about a presidential poll which pitted him against politicians like Sarah Palin and President Obama, then compared himself to the Commander-in-Chief.“For starters, I was f—king born here, how about that?†he said. “And I got proof! Nothing photoshopped about my birth certificate.â€
