It was a stupid comment, an unforced error. Romney isn’t a “birther,” but now he’s given the opposition ammo to say that he is, or is catering to extreme elements, etc. Stupid. He should have known the media would pounce on it.
I have said it before I am pleasantly surprised regarding Romney's campaign. So far its an effective approach almost political akido!
Also, it gives them yet another chance to bring up those tax returns. It basically writes itself: "Nobody's asking me why I paid 13 percent in taxes."
You never go full birther, Mitt.
I’m 98% sure it was very intentional. Governor Romney is getting inside Mr. Obama and his team’s heads, on purpose. Last time he did so, out came “you didn’t build that.”
It was not an error at all. It was a smart move by Romney to scare the POS and his goons. They have been crying and squealing like little piglets all day. Romney outsmarted Obama again and it will not be the last time. IMHO BO is toast and he knows it. Gives him more wasted time dealing with this issue and hiding in a corner while his minions try to “spin” it in the news. It Ain’t working anymore.
