Romney to Trump: Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate
Fox News ^ | April 12, 2011 | Daniel Freedman

According to Romney family lawyers it doesn't matter if Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or even Paris: Because his mother was an American (and not even Donald Trump questions that), he is eligible to be President.

The Romney lawyers investigated this question in the 1960s, when Mitt Romney's father, Governor George Romney of Michigan, was vying for the Republican presidential nomination. George Romney had been born in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico, as his grandfather moved there with his wives in the 1880s after polygamy was outlawed in the U.S.

While some opponents nicknamed him "Chihuahua George," his suitability for the highest office because of his birth was never seriously challenged. The reason his campaign faltered was because of his shift in position on the Vietnam War:

So, I guess all of Mitt’s grandmothers swear he was born in the U.S.

And nobama doesn’t need a BC because Mitt’s establishment guys told him so.

This is so frustrating, the Repub establishment just won’t let go - and when they get in it makes all conservatives look bad.

Personally, I’m not donating any more $$ to the RNC, just to specific candidates. I liked DeMint’s PAC.

Which brings up the matter that it is REALLY unsettling, that leaders who can rise to the top of the PILE, can be so ignorant and shrug their shoulders concerning THE LAW...

My bet is that Romney is a front man for the GOP establishment to eventually trot out Jeb Bush. Something tells me Rove will soon start mentioning Jeb. I sure hope people do not fall for it.

What law school did these lawyers go to ? If he was born out of the country , under the law at the time, his mother did not live in the US for 5 years after the age of 14 before he was born. Thus she could not pass on US citizenship to him. Do they even research the law before making these asinine comments ?

The birth certificate is easily destroyed, modified, you will never get an definitive answer going after paper.

But here is an easy way to verify his story. It involves ... well I’d rather not say.

Where can one find Trump’s investigative team?

I see Romney dropped like a rock in the CNN poll. Trump took lead. I say let fight to the last man standing.

Wow! The first photo I’ve ever seen where his hair looks upset.

He had a really icky grandfather apparently and he has always - for some weird reason - made my skin crawl.

Because Daddy Romney never became an American...

George was never naturalized

That means Mittys Dad was just like Barrys Dad...

Let me ask you, if John Quincy Adams had been born in Britain, or even on a ship crossing the Atlantic, would he have been eligible to be POTUS?

Answer: Yes

That’s lovely, but why are we kissing Donalds Trump?

Where is Trumps legacy of conservatism?

The Donald would sell his Mother for leverage.
