Mitt Romney has made a witty remark about the alleged aloofness of President Barack Obama as the head of the country in a joke this past weekend.
The 2012 Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was speaking at a rally for Republican Iowa senate candidate Joni Ernst when he made the comments. The veteran politician shrugged off any concerns that his comments will affect his political ambitions.
"I'm not running for office, so I can tell one [joke]" Mitt Romney said, before relaying the jest he allegedly got from a family member.
Here is the joke: "President Obama went to the bank to cash a check and he didn't have his ID. And the teller said you've got to prove who you are.
He said, "How should I do that?" She said the other day Phil Mickelson came in, he didn't have his ID but he set up a little cup on the ground, took a golf ball, putted it right into that cup so they knew it was Phil Mickelson. They cashed his check.
And then Andre Agassi came in. And Andre Agassi didn't have his ID either. He put a little target on the wall, took a tennis ball and racquet- hit it onto that target time. We knew that was Andre Agassi so we cashed his check.
And she said to him, "Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?" And [Obama] said, "I don't have a clue."
And she said, "Well, Mr. President, do you want your money in small bills or large bills."
Despite claims that he will not be running for office, Mitt Romney's spate of political activities in the build up to the midterm elections has made some pundits speculate that he may be planning for a shot at the presidency in 2016.
Mitt Romney is currently the head of the Republican Party. He is widely regarded as one of the foremost candidates for the party in the 2016 polls.
