President's campaign cashes in on Romney's quip
'Made in the USA' campaign button, sold for $5 on BarackObama.com
TAMPA, Fla. – Following Mitt Romney’s quip last week that no one has asked to see his birth certificate, Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has decided to double down on the birth certificate controversy and cash in, marketing a campaign button sure to help give the controversy new life.
The 2012 Obama presidential campaign is now selling a button for $5 showing a smiling Barack Obama above the slogan “Made in the USA” and a picture of his birth certificate.
As WND reported, Romney’s quip about the birth certificate issue Friday while campaigning in his birth-state, Michigan, drew an immediate sharp attack from the Obama campaign.
Romney told an enthusiastic crowd in Commerce, Mich., “I love being home, in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born.”
Noting the local hospitals where he and his wife were born, Romney remarked: “No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate; they know that this is the place that we were born and raised.”
In response, the Obama campaign shot back just a couple of hours later with a post on the president’s Facebook page saying Romney had “directly enlisted himself in the birther movement.”
A message sent from Obama’s personal Twitter account called it a “new low for Romney.”
The campaign now has struck a lighter tone, with the “Made in the USA” button on sale at the BarackObama.com website with the following message:
“There’s really no way to make the conspiracy about President Obama’s birth certificate completely go away, so we might as well laugh at it – and make sure as many people as possible are in on the joke. Get your Obama birth certificate...

Tacky, odd behavior from a president. Not how one acts if they have truth on an issue.
LOL... keep digging Obozo... keep digging.
Rats are doublin’ down on Stupid.
He is mocking us
that may be a collector’s item someday
wrapped and tagged in an evidence bag
The nerve of those people! We have never, ever mocked King Barry.
Now if only the GOPe would grow a pair and have a hearing on the smoking evidence that the good Sheriff has discovered.
the President of the United States mocking the American people is far different than the people mocking the President
Who’s the grown-up supposed to be in charge?
You must be thinking of Valerie Jarrett.
The more people who see “Barack Hussein Obama” spelled out, the better. (Hint to American voter: Think “Saddam Hussein” and “King Hussein.”)
Actually, they all celebrate the Immam Hussein who was a Shia founder and is celebrated by pilgrimages to his mosque in Karbela.
Good point.
LOL..He probably was “made” in the USA, but I think he was born elsewhere.
And he could have been, BUT he was adopted by an Indonesian and made a citizen of that country and there is NO proof, yet, that he became an American citizen.

And he could have been, BUT he was adopted by an Indonesian and made a citizen of that country and there is NO proof, yet, that he became an American citizen. AND there is still the question of the Social Security number of a dead Frenchman, from the state of Conneticut, where he has never lived.
WhatPriebus should have done was get up and walk out. I don’t know why some repub “leaders” sit and take insults from the likes of mathews.
This way he’s not committing perjury.
Now that the BC has been show to be a fake, can charges be pressed for trying to pass off a forgery as real by those who should know by now? Oh... and then making money off of it?
