Election 2012 BREAKING NEWS: Mitt Romney Makes Joke
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 2:59 PM
Unfortunately, the joke was not funny. And it was a joke about Obama's birth certificate:
Mitt Romney made a joke about his birth certificate at a rally in Commerce, Mich. on Friday.Speaking about his Michigan roots, he said, "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
The audience reportedly loved the joke. Rush Limbaugh thought it was great. Between this and the Paul Ryan pick, I think if Romney keeps going in this direction, he's got the crazy teabagger vote in the bag, you guys. That's at least six percent of the population that Obama's not going to win.
