The Obama campaign is branding Mitt Romney an aspiring “birther-in-chief,” after the presumptive GOP nominee seemed to joke Friday about the long-debunked claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.

In a 15-second web video produced nine hours after Romney made the remark on a campaign stop in Michigan, Team Obama accused Romney of “embracing unfounded conspiracy theories, distracting from real issues.”

“Holding out hope Romney had a vision for the middle class? Think again,” the narrator said.

“America doesn’t need a birther-in-chief,” the Obama Web spot concluded.

1. And just look at how loud his happy chorus laughs and claps. What a bunch of IDIOTS !

4. They're bussed in, and get paid.

The bulk of them are more than likely unemployed, and are doing this to put food on the table!

16. Some maybe, but their base is right-wing, white-wing, and overwhelmingly birther.

7. Sounded more like a groan at first

I think they knew he screwed up, then they played along. That's the way it came off to me anyway.

15. Nah, rousing laughing and clapping. See the pics. Gleeful. Large majority of RePukes are birthers.

Polls show large majority of registered RePUKES are birthers. They're NUTS and the sentiment largely racist. Call it what it is. And they like to manufacture their own reality.

2. Good

kick that motherfuckin' lying mormon asshole right in the balls. Good show. Keep it up.

3. Bazinga!

That Rapid Response Team rocks!
Not holding back this time. I love it. Tell it like it is, don't hold back any punches!

[Cha]

5. mitt has many hats.. Liar in chief is

always on his head. Now he's decided to wade in to the birther shit for real.

6. AWESome. Tie that bastard to the National Embarrassment as he deserves to be.

This isn't about a "little fun". NO president besides Obama has been a victim of a widespread demand of a birth certificate by the Klan wing. This movement is an embarrassment; a racist-fueled embarrassment that needs to be buried with McCarthyism.

8. The world

must really think we've gone bonkers. And I'd have to agree - well, at least many of us. Damn, he IS an embarrassment! Maybe Barnum & Bailey has an opening for a clown. I can't stand to even LOOK at the man any more. Or is wife. Or Paulie Ryan. Ad nauseum.

9. glad they responded ...

glad they responded to Romney's comments... but using the phrase "holding out hope" probably isn't the best choice of words.

10. What an idiot

[polichick]

13. LOL - great cartoon!

[BootinUp]

11. Fuck Romney

He's a real sleaze, thats the truth of the matter.

[polichick]

12. Ha! Great response.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

14. good...but could be better

they should mix in clips of Orly Taitz and various teabaggers shreiking on TV, as well as Trump being a douche - to show just what kind of nutcases Romney is aligning with
