Obama Cracks Birther Joke With Young Hawaiian in Florida: ‘You Have a Birth Certificate?’
The Blaze ^ | 9/9/12 | Erica Ritz

It’s that birther thing again.

President Barack Obama was at an Orlando sports bar, snapping a University of Florida Gators’ sign, sipping a pint and working a crowd when he walked up to a table with five children. According to the Associated Press, one of the adults pointed to one of the boys– 7-year-old Andre Wupperman of Orlando– and informed the president that he was born in the president’s native state of Hawaii.

The president, seemingly delighted, greeted the boy with a Shaka sign, the pinky and thumb gesture typical of Hawaiian culture. The boy gestured back.

“You were born in Hawaii?” the president said. Then he added teasingly: “You have a birth certificate?”

The patrons at Gator’s Dockside, clearly aware of the discredited claims that Obama was not born in the United States, reportedly broke up laughing.

When Mitt Romney made a birther joke in late August, the Obama campaign quickly released a video saying Mitt Romney was “distracting from real issues.”

It would have been great if the kid said,”yes, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours”.

0bama is using Virginia Sunahara’s BIRTH RECORD, INCLUDING HER DATE OF BIRTH. He wasn’t even born on August 4th, 1961.

Given Obama’s inability to think on his feet, this quip sounds like a set up to me...just one more effort to make light of the issue. Wouldn’t surprise at all if the kid’s parents behind this *chance* meeting turned out to be huge Obama supporters.

I would guess between November 29 and December 17, 1960.

So 0bama cracks a birther joke and he is hilarious. Romney was evil when he said no one asks for his birth certificate. So lad I have the libs to tell me what is funny and why is not.

Like most other inoculations; you need the occasional booster shot. By joking about it occasionally, Obama is essentially setting up “birthers” for ridicule. Alinsky had rules for this:

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.

...

“Mind if I borrow it?”

A few months back he was in Oklahoma for an event and a elderly woman mentioned she was born in the same hospital as Ø and he very meanly snapped back “You gotta birth certificate”

Yeah. He thinks about. He knows he is hiding the truth with forged and fake documents.

I would simply respond “Do you have any jobs?”

At this point, this same old drumbeat is getting stale. We demanded his birth certificate, so he made up a fake birth certificate. I want to get him on something he can't fake.

I want somebody to ask him one question: "Was your birth father an American citizen when you were born, or not?"

I don't think anyone's claimed that Osama's father was a US citizen.I think the claim is "US citizen mother + born in Hawaii = natural born citizen".I have heard it argued that "natural born citizen" requires *both* parents to be US citizens.

BOTH. He is lying today just as he has lied his whole life.

Example: Do you think unemployment is just a tab above 8%? Everything out of this government is a lie.
