The White House is talking about Ted Cruz's birth place. President Obama's press secretary made the comments today in response to a reporter's question.
The reporter asked the White House, "I wanted to ask you whether the President is -- what the President's reaction is to the fact that questions are now being raised by some of Ted Cruz's -- well, by one of Ted Cruz's opponents about the nature of his birthplace and whether that qualifies him to run for President, and whether he in any way enjoys watching that play out?"
"I don't know if he does, but I sure do," Earnest said to laughter. "Look, it would be quite ironic if after seven or eight years of drama around the President's birth certificate, if Republican primary voters were to choose Senator Cruz as their nominee -- somebody who actually wasn't born in the United States and only 18 months ago renounced his Canadian citizenship."
