ProSense (86,897 posts) Mitt still trying to explain his birther comment Romney: Birth certificate joke no 'swipe' By MAGGIE HABERMAN Mitt Romney expanded on his birth certificate joke from his stop in his home state Michigan in an interview with CBS News: "No, no, not a swipe," Romney said. "I've said throughout the campaign and before, there's no question about where he was born. He was born in the U.S. This was fun about us, and coming home. And humor, you know -- we've got to have a little humor in a campaign." Romney was on the campaign trail in his home state of Michigan Friday when he made a crack at the "birther" suspicions that ultimately drove Mr. Obama to release his long-form birth certificate to prove he was born in the United States. <...> ...When Pelley asked Romney if he agrees Mr. Obama is the "legitimate president of the United States," Romney responded, "I've said that probably 30 times by now, and 31 certainly won't hurt."http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/romney-birth-certificate-joke-no-swipe-133143.htmlNYT on Romney's birther comment: "It’s racism, pure and simple" (updated) http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021193928

AlinPA (12,883 posts) 10. It was not a gaffe and not a joke. This is going to continue into the convention and Trump willhelp amplify it in his "special assignment". Now that Romney has sanctioned using the birther line by his leadership, everyone in the GOP is cleared to use it now. The media keeps calling it a joke, but it is dead serious and fires up the GOP base.

Where do they get these delusions? The man headed the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee, a multi-million dollar capital investment firm that created (or saved) businesses that are household names, and was elected governor of a state. Is tridim high or naturally stupid?
So SORRRRRRY. No birther comment to explane. DUchebags and humor never shall the toe meat.
