Is Romney a Birther?

Is it possible that presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is a "closet" birther?

During a rally in his native state of Michigan, Romney told the crowd that both he and his wife Ann were born in nearby hospitals.

"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised," Romney added.

Whether this was just a joke to please a hometown crowd or the first indication that Romney will use the birth certificate question in the campaign.  Time will tell.

The Obama campaign quickly responded with its usual talking points on the birther issues.  Romney "embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them."  Nothing new there.

More from The Hill.
