President Obama recounted Mitt Romneys time as governor of Massachusetts, focusing on tax cuts he give to wealthy families while raising taxes (or fees, as Romney has referred to them) on the middle class. Listing all the fees Romney raised, Obama added that he raised fees to get a birth certificate which would have been expensive for me.

"He increased fees for milk, he increased fees for the blind, he increased fees for a hair cut, he even increased fees on getting a birth certificate which would have been expensive for me".
What made it funny was that the crowd was really ramped up and they laughed like it was the funniest thing anyone ever said in their entire life.
