(slang, often, _, pejorative, US politics) A movement in the United States of America that doubts or denies that the 44th President, Barack Obama, is a natural-born U.S. citizen, thus implying that he is ineligible to be President.

But Obama's plunge into the fever swamp of birtherism was just the latest detour on what had already been a long, strange trip—with many miles still to go.

  • Insulting a former president in front of children; a real class act. Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, making him sound foreign in accordance with his birtherism racist bullshit.

  • Do we on the left get to have "backlashes" too, or is that reserved for the Right that Klein loves so much? Funny how in his framing Roe wasn't a "backlash" against right wing forced birtherism, how Griswold wasn't a backlash against right wing anti-contraceptionism.
