Bazzzing!
A joke about President Obama’s identity that has been circulating on the Internet has just received a big boost from former presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The 2012 GOP nominee voiced the zinger Sunday night in West Des Moines, Iowa, during a rally for Iowa Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst.
“Now when you’re running for office people tell you, you shouldn’t tell jokes,” Romney explained. “But I’m not running for office, so I can tell one.”
Romney noted he “got this on the Internet from a family member.”

Here is Romney’s account of 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?”
