There’s no question on the Census form like “Were you born in the United States or Kenya?” or “Do you plan on turning the United States into an “Islamofacist Socialist ‘People’s’ Republic”.
In fact, I could just as easily fill out President’s Obama’s Census form :
* How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010?
Let’s see, there’s his wife, and two children and himself.
* Is this house, apartment, or mobile home: owned with mortgage, owned without mortgage, rented, occupied without rent?
I’d have to say he’s occupying the house without rent.
* What is your telephone number?
202-456-7041 (From the White House website)
* What is Person 1’s sex?
If Obama is filling out the form, the answer would be “male”.
* Are you planning to put everyone into a socialized medical plan where people will be forced to implant special chips in their brain so the government can control their thoughts, or be faced with a death panel?”
But David W., you are taking a very logical and intelligent view of the situation and arriving at a very logical and intelligent result. Yes, the Census is quite benign and the inquiries have been reduced to the most basic of questions. And yes, there really isn’t much there that could be used against someone. But we are talking about tea-baggers and Fox-watchers here who find it difficult to simply breathe with their mouth closed. They aren’t interested in the truth. Truly the term “low-informed voter” applies to that subset of America.
The news item is that he entered his race as black only, since he’s self-identified all his life as an African-American, even though he could have filled it out as biracial, since his mother who raised him is white. That still doesn’t explain why they care.
(Also, there is a fifth person living in the White House: Michele Obama’s mother.)

Hmmm… I’d have to get back to them on that one.
