“You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?”
Obama tells ‘birther’ joke, asks young boy if he has birth certificate
By Meghashyam Mali - 09/08/12 07:41 PM ET
President Obama poked fun at conspiracy theories which question whether he was born in the United States during a campaign stop in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday.
The president made a stop at a local sports bar, Gator Dockside, where he made the rounds, speaking to patrons, according to a White House pool report.
At one table, Obama was told by an adult that a young boy at the table was “born in Hawaii.”
“You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?” the president asked, as the table broke into laughter.
Pool reports said the young boy, Andre Wupperman, will turn 7 next week. He lives with his family in Orlando.
