(Newser) – Apparently Mitt Romney isn't the only presidential candidate who likes to make a birther crack, because President Obama chimed in with his own yesterday. While at a campaign stop in Orlando, Obama was told a 6-year-old boy at the table was born in Hawaii. "You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?," joked Obama, reports the Hill. Obama's campaign was considerably less amused over Romney's August comment, saying the country didn't need a "birther-in-chief."

Sure will be glad when Romney/Ryan put an end to all this. FL is beginning to smell like rotten oranges with all the democrap invasions.

When Mitt Romney said "no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate," IT WASN'T A JOKE.  Jokes are funny and make people with a sense of humor laugh.  That statement was wicked and made people with wicked hearts cheer.

According to a February 2011 PPP poll , it’s actually a predominant belief within the Republican party. In the poll, 51% of all likely Republican primary voters erroneously believed that President Obama was born outside of the U.S. Only 28% of those Republican voters said they thought Obama was born in America, while 21% said they were unsure.
