Mitt: Obama born here, period

Mitt Romney forcefully said Tuesday night that he believes President Barack Obama was born in America and that “the citizenship test has been passed.”

"I think the citizenship test has been passed. I believe the president was born in the United States. There are real reasons to get this guy out of office," Romney told CNBC's Larry Kudlow the day after he formally announced that he’s exploring a run for the White House. "The man needs to be taken out of office but his citizenship isn't the reason why."

Kudlow asked Romney about the issue because Donald Trump — the billionaire real estate mogul — has been all over TV questioning whether Obama was really born in in the United States and is therefore constitutionally allowed to hold the nation’s highest office. Trump's claims have driven the "birther" issue back into the national spotlight — and a recent Fox News poll found that 24 percent of voters believe Obama wasn't born in the United States, while 10 percent aren't sure.

Apr. 12, 2011 - 9:03 PM EST How would he know? Has he seen the long form birth certificate? Has he seen President Obama's passport, the one he used to travel to Pakistan when US citizens were prohibited travel there? Has he seen Barry Soetero's college transcripts? Because nobody else has, that I know of.

1. you even find these kind of comments on UK sites

sock puppets

[mwooldri]

13. The UK now has a "natural born citizen" law on who can be PM?

That I never knew about.

Better get Cameron to produce his birth certificate then...

:sarcasm:

2. honestly, if they want to use brifing as a campaign issue

they will be laughed back to 1920.
We want the donald!

[StevieM]

6. Well, that is their goal. To take us back to the 1920s (eom)

[Turbineguy]

3. Well. That's it then.

They'll never give him the nomination now.

[golfguru]

4. Trump is Mitten's worst nightmare n/t

[AlinPA]

5. Romney is done. The base will not accept anyone who is not a birther. Being a Mormon seals it. nt

[vaberella]

7. Sorry Romney you just got rid of 80% of the Repub vote. nt

[BeyondGeography]

8. Well, good for him

Good politics, as well. The Pubs who will be most offended are those who wouldn't support him anyway because of Romneycare.

[AtomicKitten]

9. It's looking like the GOP primary vote will be split between Trump and Mittens.

I'm ready.

[CreekDog]

10. It's that bad. Romney is making sense.

:wtf:

[mistertrickster]

11. There is no "long form." Try getting your own "long form." Nobody has it.

Records are digitized now.

Get with the 21st century.

[opihimoimoi]

12. Mitt is unfit...will never reach the Oval....too bland

[craigmatic]

14. Well he just cost himself the nomination.

[Travelman]

15. Well, good on Romney for speaking the truth...

...but it's still not going to get him the nod. He's not nearly far enough to the right for the bulk of the Rs out there.

Trump has just completely burned himself. He's busy pandering to the birthers, who are but a tiny fragment of all of society, even people who vote R. He's just making himself out to be a fool.



Neither one of these gus will be the R nominee. Never happen.
