Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney waded into the so-called “birther” controversy over the weekend with a dig at President Obama. Speaking in his home state of Michigan, Romney said that, unlike Obama, he has never faced questions about his place of birth.

Mitt Romney: “I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. Ann was born in Henry Ford Hospital, I was born in Harper Hospital. No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.”

Also at his event in Michigan, Romney shared his message to counter-protesters backing President Obama in this year’s election.

Mitt Romney: “I saw someone outside the zone here that had a sign that said 'four more years,' and I almost felt like stopping and saying, 'Yyou want four more years of 8 percent unemployment? You want four — you want four more years of record numbers of foreclosures and declining home values? Do you want four more years of trillion-dollar deficits to pass onto your kids? Do you want four more years of small businesses finding it hard to hire people? Do you want four more years of government becoming more and more intrusive in your lives and in your businesses?' I don’t want four more years of what we have. Do you?”
