Mustaine jumps on 'birther' bandwagon

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has some issues with President Obama's birth certificate - at least that's what he said when he appeared on "The Hour" Monday night on Canadian TV, telling host George Stroumboulopoulos that he has "a lot of questions about him, but certainly not where he was born ... I know he was born somewhere else than America." When asked what proof he had that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii - as stated by his long-form birth certificate — he asked why the Democrat was "invisible" before starting his political career in Illinois.

When pressed on the fact that records of the president's formative years exist, and the fact that most politicians are "invisible" to the media before stepping into office, Mustaine quickly changed the subject.
