Obama team makes light of latest birth certificate claims

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/03/obama-team-makes-light-of-latest-birth-certificate-claims/1#.T0_3yHm2ZTI

As an Arizona sheriff held a news conference claiming evidence that the birth certificate released in April is a fake, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweeted out what he called a "live feed" of the presentation -- which turned out to be a clip of the theme song from the old science fiction series The X Files.

LaBolt also told Twitter followers "birth certificate available here" -- and linked to an ad for an Obama coffee mug with the birth certificate emblazoned it.

LaBolt also made a political tweet on Arpaio's claims, referecing Republican opponent Mitt Romney:

Still want it? Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.

you that no woman of our age would have gone to Kenya to have a baby in 1961.

It's just a ridiculous idea.
