Romney adviser: Obama's birthplace not an issue in the race
Politico ^ | 5-25-12 | Maggie Habberman

Posted on 05/27/2012 9:56:45 AM PDT by raulgomez05

In advance of the fundraiser with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump on Tuesday, the candidate's senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom tried to set the line on CNN a short time ago.

"I can't speak for Donald Trump," Fehrnstrom said. "But I can tell you that Mitt Romney accepts that President Obama was born in the United States. He doesn't view the place of his birth as an issue in this campaign."

Dead - quisling - meat. Romeny only has the stomach to plague Republicans. If your enemy has a weak point, hell, even it isn’t true but can be exploited, you attack it. You attack the hell out of it. In the 50s I never expected such, but my country is lost.

BO’s father was a foreign national. This disqualifies BO as POTUS, even if BO had been born on U.S. soil. A natural born citizen has two citizen parents.

Birthplace not an issue... but birth certificate is.

I'll bet that he is Frank Marshall Davis’ illegitimate son.
Embarrassing No?

So, Dumbney works for Wall Street & the Big Banks, just like D'ohBama.

Maybe Bank of Scamerica, Wells Fargo, Citi & Chase should just install voting software on their national ATMs, and we can skip the "suspense" & the "drama".

Birthplace is not the issue. It’s who his father is who matters and his ma was too young to confer natural born status upon him.

Still, Politico trying to stir the pot. Get used to it; to some, that bait looks so tasty and irresistible.

romney has nothing to do with whether or not the Constitution is upheld.

the only thing romney can control is whether or not his own name appears on the ballot in november. 0bama, having been born a british subject and an American citizen, is NOT a natural born citizen, by definition. his name appearing on the ballot should be contested and he should be forced to PROVE he should be allowed on it, not the other way around.

additionally, unless romney is in law enforcement, he has nothing to do with the investigation of fraud and forgery that has been committed.

thanks for stopping by mittens. i really don’t care about what one big govt progressive says about another

C’mon. This is SMART on Romney’s part. Very smart. Romney doesn’t need the leftwing press, David Letterman and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz criticizing him for being a “crazy birther”. It would be a needless distraction.

Let the underlings and supporters bring this up. But Romney should not. He should stay focused, like a laser beam, on the economy, the exploding debt, foreign affairs, Iran etc.

The sole fact that his father-of-record was not a US citizen makes Ubama ineligible.

It does not matter if he was born on the steps of the US capitol building.

Exactly. Looks like they are playing the part of good cop, bad cop. Let Trump play the birth issue and let Romney stay out of it.

There is nothing wrong with surrogates playing the “0bama is unAmerican” card.

Next he’ll be telling us we “have nothing to fear from an Obama second term”.

Yep. My thoughts exactly. Romney doesn't have to wade into this murky issue. Let surrogates do it. The surrogates don't really have to do much either but just ask basic questions that have never been answered. The burdon of proof is on Obama's side.

Mitt Romney accepts that President Obama was born in the United States

Given that ... I'll throw up if Romney ends up being the GOP candidate.

But the American People do see it as an issue !

It doesn't matter where Zippy was born, so Romney must be dealing a "blow" to himself.
