Obama Cracks Birth Certificate Joke While Attacking Mitt Romney At Campaign Rally (VIDEO)

Obama made a birth certificate joke while attacking Mitt Romney at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

The president made the remark while criticizing Mitt Romney for raising taxes and fees while serving as governor of Massachusetts.

"He raised fees to get a birth certificate, which would have been expensive for me," Obama said.

This isn't the first time Obama has joked about his birth certificate, which many -- including billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump -- doubt is real. In September, Obama made a joke while greeting a young boy with a sign showing a "shaka," the pinky and thumb gesture typical of Hawaiian culture.

"You were born in Hawaii?" the president said before asking,"You have a birth certificate?"

Mitt Romney also tried out a birther joke on the campaign trail when he told a crowd in Michigan "no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate."

"They know that this is the place that we were born and raised," Romney said.

Obama released his long-form birth certificate in April 2011.

Obama makes it so very obvious that money can't buy class. With all the money Mittens has, it's not enough to buy what Obama's got.........

Of course no one has asked to see Willard's birth certificate. They don't issue you one when you slither out from under a rock.

In the beginning, god said let there be light, and the birthers scuttled under a rock.

Ahhh, the PLOT THICKENS


More Chatter On The White House-Released Birth Certificate


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a comment from a reader to George Ure at UrbanSurvival.com:

"As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama's birth certificate. As of yesterday, the White House released the birth certificate.

I will tell you right now that I had never given this "birther" issue any credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely dismissed the entire ordeal altogether. In fact, it was not until the White House released the birth certificate that it had gained my attention.

 
I am the studious sort of guy, and I have plenty of time on my hands. So, I took a close look at this document. While I would have thought that this issue would have been closed for good (and, got the crazies to crawl back into their holes), I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.

 
First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya , East Africa". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could have Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate", but, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.

 
The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?"

 
Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts. Like I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual certificate was released. Now that it has been released, of course I had to look into it. I have found these issues, now I know that something is up. If you doubt me, just look at the following resources:

Sure as hell, the hospital part is true, .

 
Post-Colonial History (from Wikipedia)

The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of handing power to "moderate" African rivals, it was the  (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963, on the same day forming the first Constitution of Kenya.

Obama's Birth Certificate is as phony as a $3 bill.
