Three New Hampshire state representatives are using today’s Iowa cacuses in a pathetic attempt to generate publicity about their 2009 claim that Barack Obama is ineligible to serve as president.
Several months after Obama released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate, these politicians claim that Obama cannot have a place on the 2012 ballot because his father was not born in the U.S.
Good luck with that one.
 
At the same time, Mitt Romney’s son associated himself with the discredited birther movement — either as a joke of maybe he’s not even aware that circumstances have changed.
Romney’s son Matt joked the other day that his father might release his tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate. The younger Romney speaking as a campaign surrogate at a New Hampshire senior citizen housing facility.
According to The Hill, Matt Romney used Twitter later in the day to apologize for “repeating a bad joke.” It appeared to be his first ever tweet on the social messaging service.

The Obama campaign took advantage of the situation by tweeting: “Mitt Romney’s son thinks President Obama should release his birth certificate. Guess he doesn’t have one of our mugs?”
That was a reference to mugs on sale at the campaign’s online store that read “Made in the USA” under a photo of Obama and include a replication of the president’s birth certificate.

“There’s really no way to make the birth certificate conspiracy completely go away, so we might as well laugh at it — and make sure as many people as possible are in on the joke,” the Obama campaign store posted.
