And it was pretty darn funny, too.
“Now I love being home, in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. Ann was born in Henry Ford Hospital, I was born in Harper Hospital. No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where both of us were born and raised.”
Now, everybody just hold on for a second. The Twitterverse and etcetera have been lighting up with speculations and accusations from all sides as to what Mitt Romney meant with this. No, birthers: I have the severest doubts that Mitt Romney was endorsing birtherism, nor that he plans to desperately take up the theory as part of his campaign platform as we wend our way to November. It’s far too divisive an issue, and as much as the Left would no doubt like everyone to believe, it’s not like the majority of the conservative base is exactly jiggy with it.

Has Wolf Blitzer ask him to withdraw yet?
I thought it was a great comment. You can always judge how effective a comment or a political decision is by the reaction of the leftist media. The best reaction from the left so far was the Paul Ryan VP choice.
We’ll need to revisit this article after Trump pulls a shocker at the convention. Oh wait.. Nothing is shocking anymore because part of 0bama’s goal has been to desensitize America to impeachable offenses or anything immoral, unethical or flat-out unacceptable.
Why is this such a sensitive subject for the Obamunuists?
He keeps showing us forgery after forgery and yet we are not allowed to take a potshots at him about it?
Are his Bona fides sacred texts to only be seen by the high priests?
I did not see it as a joke.
I saw it as a factoid interjection
I think it was a great comment as well. It was (1) a retort to the question over the tax returns and (2) it was a birther tweak framed as a statement of fact. If asked about the BC, he has plausible disability because he is on record as saying he thinks Obie was born in the US. Pressies best be careful about pushing him on this because he has set himself up to pivot to all the other information Obie has kept hidden.
>>He keeps showing us forgery after forgery and yet we are not allowed to take a potshots at him about it?
If he just refused to show us any official records, that would be arrogant, but expected from this person. But, to put out these obvious fakes is an insult to the intelligence of every American and to the office of the President.
This is precisely how to handle the Obama birth certificate “question.” You make light of it, step back, and watch the Obama handlers come unglued. It will make those unfamiliar or skeptical about the issue sit-up and take notice. Who exactly is hiding something here?
If Romney really wants to win this election....he should use more “Birther” facts....listening to the Anti-Birther PhonyCons is a sure loser. Anti-Birthers pretty much left Romney hanging for a few weeks withe the “tax forms release” nonsense...which would have been stopped had the campaign just asked for Obama’s real birth certificate
The Birther issue is a sure winner...and too many PhonyCons are helping Obama by attacking it
Guess what the libs aren’t talking about anymore?
The best analogy I can come up with is when an attacking army in on an offensive charge, they leave themselves vulnerable to a counter attack on their flank at a point they weren’t expecting.
That is what this was. It left them with this hanging in the air all weekend, waiting for another hit.
Joke or not, I think Romney was indirectly telling Obama, “ ok, so your going after my Tax records ? ok then, we will go after your records and your supposed birth certificate “
George, who attempted a run for the Republican presidential candidacy in 1964, pulled out of the running when questions over his natural born Citizenship eligibility came to the fore.
Gov. Mitt Romney, Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep.Ron Paul all provided proof of Article II eligibility for the office of President. All three provided proof of NBC status.
Anyone who believes Romney cares nothing about natural born Citizen eligibility doesn't know the Romney family history.
Nothing is shocking anymore because part of 0bama’s goal has been to desensitize America to impeachable offenses or anything immoral, unethical or flat-out unacceptable.
Yes, while those things aren’t shocking to people anymore (at least to the “left”), what IS shocking (to these a$$hats) is when GOOD THINGS happen and common sense is upheld and pushed forward.
Third, President Obama can't stand to be made fun of. His pride won't allow it, his amour-propre cannot countenance a joke at his own expense. If Mr. Romney lands a few very funny lines about the president's leadership, Mr. Obama will freak out. That would be fun, wouldn't it?
You make a good point here. I do believe they have attempted this in chipping away at traditional courtesies and upping the ante on lawless actions. Much of their activity is simply unknown to most. Maybe when they get smoked out America will surprise us with a visceral reaction.
Why? Because it stinks of wuss and fear. Not attractive. Part of Obama's success is his playing the urbane villain to our weaselly milquetoasts. Enough!
