Dems Continue to Jab Rick Scott on Obama Birth Certificate

With Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott wrapping up a bus tour of the state, the Florida Democratic Party is taking shots at some of the incidents that occurred on the trip, including Scott saying he would look into whether or not President Barack Obama was born in the United States.

"It's hard to figure out where to begin when discussing Rick Scott's disastrous bus tour over the last week," said Eric Jotkoff, a spokesman for the Democrats. "From getting physical with reporters and denying access to the candidate, to criticizing his party's presumptive Senate nominee, to suggesting he is open to helping the birthers spread their ridiculous claims, and even sounding racially insensitive himself, the only thing Rick Scott has made clear on this tour is he is not ready for prime time.

"Rick Scott continues giving Floridians countless reasons not to elect him governor beyond the fact that he oversaw a company that pled guilty to the largest Medicare fraud in American history," said Jotkoff."Rick Scott's complete absence of integrity, vision and values is starting to catch up with him as Floridians see a candidate who is simply wrong for Florida."
