President Obama chatting with seven-year-old Andre Wupperman on Saturday in Orlando, Florida.
While campaigning in Florida over the weekend President Obama dropped in on patrons at Gator's Dockside Restaurant in Orlando. Speaking with a table of 10 people, the president was introduced to seven-year-old Andre Wupperman who was born in Hawaii. After hearing this, Obama raised the shaka, a surfer greeting, to the boy and said, "You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?"
Everyone at the table laughed, but one can assume birthers are shaking their fists somewhere. The president's got jokes. The president don't care.

Wow, the left thought that is was unacceptable when Romney joked about his own birth certificate.
Romney wasn't joking about his birth certificate, he was mentioning his birth certificate as a means of implying that President Obama does not have a valid birth certificate. Without the implied birther reference there would have been no joke. Were it not for the birther issue the audience would have said, "Huh, what's he talking about?"
And queue the manufactured outrage, hahaha. Our President brings the funny!
Our President has a sense of humor! He know the righties are nuts.
OBAMA JOKES ABOUT BIRTH CERTIFICATE:
This is funny. Then again, it is a serious window to much more. From little things like this to bigger things like decisions that cause millions to die; you have a President who makes light of stupidity, as we all should. We should rest assured that he would not make decisions based on how flustered he is at a stupid jab. Because for a change, this President is neither stupid nor does he fluster easy.
Will you guys please fix whatever it is that's making this blog unreadable. If I scroll to the top and let go of the mouse it goes all the way back down to the bottom of the page. It's been this way for days.
It's your computer/phone/Ipad Jane. No probs here.
Of course the joke is after the Democrats cement their victory for health insurance coverage of oral contraceptives, surgical sterilization procedures, and abortions fre for all, there will be a lot fewer birth certificates handed out in the future. The most difficult thing about Democrats and Obama's vision of cradle to grave security will be getting to the cradle!
