My favorite part about Mitt’s dive into birtherism isn’t what Rmoney said, its what the akinfolk who actually spent time off work on a beautiful Michigan Summer Friday to go to a Mitt Romney rally instead of going up North, hanging out on a boat, playing hooky, etc said. More please.

Susan Cardel, 51, said she thought Romney’s comment was “hysterical.”

“That is still a big issue, isn’t it?” Cardel said. “I think it is, that Obama wasn’t born in America. I think Romney was just making a statement. He wasn’t trying to be mean or anything.”

Jim Gorcya, 72, said he read Romney’s comment as a suggestion that Obama’s birth certificate is not real.

“Obama doesn’t have one,” Gorcya said. “He wasn’t born here, and he can’t find his.”
