San Diego (CNN) -- Mitt, we hardly knew ye.
Or should I say, "primo!" As much as it embarrasses me to admit it, given some of his views and how he expresses them, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and I could be distant cousins. Romney's father, George, was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and so was my grandfather, Roman.
Que? You didn't know that Mitt Romney was half-Mexican? It's true. In fact, if he makes it to the White House, in addition to becoming the first Mormon in the Oval Office, he could also be the nation's first Hispanic president.
Don't laugh. Technically, Romney is just as "Mexican" as former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who was born of a Mexican mother and American father. When Richardson ran for the White House in 2008, he was often touted by the media as someone who would become the nation's first Hispanic president.
Yet, I would imagine that a lot of Americans aren't aware of this branch of the Romney family tree, and that's because it is not a detail that Romney usually talks about publicly -- and especially not on the campaign trail.

ROFL
oh man, Rommney is really getting desperate now :)
Yet another oblame-a parallel.
Oh boy.
That otta' tell conservatives something about Romney.
According to wiki:
His mother was a native of Logan, Utah, and his father had been born in an American Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico.
In besieged Mormon colony, Mitt Romney’s Mexican roots
So neither Obama nor Romney are Natural Born Citizens !
His great grandfather also had five wives, even Muslims don’t get that many.
Ruben Navarette says 3 of his 4 grandparents were born in the US. He has me beat--only 2 of mine were.
“So neither Obama nor Romney are Natural Born Citizens !”
If I understand it, mittens father was a citizen and his mother was too. I am not sure where he was born, but I think he was born in the USA.
I think mittens father actually ran for GOP presidential nomination himself.
All I know is, he doesn’t look very natural.LOL.
I’m not sure any Romney’s ineligibility is as well defined as Obama’s ineligibility. However. I have a gut feeling that people behind Romney and even Obama want Romney in the mix to discredit the ‘birther’ arguments.
>>CNN is wanting to get Romney against Obama.
Gonna not take up for Mitt and his supporters when CNN turns on the heat.
Three time Michigan Governor George Romney and his son Mitt stormed off the convention floor in protest of Barry Goldwater winning the nomination in 1964, George Romney then ran as the anti-war Presidential candidate in the 1968 GOP primary.
Isn’t THAT convenient?? It seems about the only difference between Barry and Mitt is skin pigmentation, which the dems will GLADLY point out, making it “racist” to vote for Romney.
(Excluding the 4-legged ones of course....)
Ruben, you effing retard(sorry retards).
Romney doesn’t have a drop of Mexican blood in him, whatever the heck that might be.
Mexico is a state of many ethnicities. Irish, German, Lebanese, Mayan, etc.
Romney comes from whatever white strain of men and women who bore him.
He’s an American.
But still .... FUMR.
Thanks, I couldn’t remember the details.
Yo Intiendo
I believe George Romney was an American citizen at the time of Willard’s birth.
Obama is definitely NOT a NBC.
