Romney jokes about his birth certificate

Campaigning in Michigan, Mitt Romney joked that no one has ever asked to see his birth certificate. The candidate’s top advisor says Romney was simply referring to the fact that Michigan is where he was born and raised.



 

      Native Son

It’s politics as usual
Filled with digs and scorn;
As Romney notes that folks don’t ask
Where he was bred and born.

Some folks feel his comment, though,
Is on the right-wing fringe,
As candidates throw out remarks
That make some voters cringe.
