Obama speaks at Elm Street Middle School in Nashua, N.H., accusing Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney of raising taxes on the middle class when he was governor of Massachusetts in the form of a wide range of service fees. "There were higher fees to be a barber, a nurse, to get gas, to buy milk, for blind people to get the certification that they were blind," Obama said, before cracking a joke that played off the birther conspiracy that the president was not born in the United States. "He raised fees on people to get birth certificates, which would have been expensive for me."
