(CNN) - Comments over the validity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate made by Texas Gov. Rick Perry could overshadow the Republican presidential candidate's roll out of his "Cut, Balance, and Grow" economic plan.
Tuesday morning the Texas governor unveils his proposal–which includes a 20% new flat tax rate–at a speech in South Carolina, the first southern state to vote in the race for the GOP nomination. But when Perry goes before cameras later in the day at a scheduled news conference, reporters will most likely pepper the Texas governor over comments he made in an interview that appeared over the weekend in the on-line edition of Parade Magazine. Perry also said it's "fun to poke" at Obama over the birth certificate issue in an interview with CNBC.

(CNN) - A new Obama campaign memo slams Rick Perry's and Mitt Romney’s tax proposals, leveling a charge that’s now a campaign theme: the rich will benefit at the expense of the middle class if a Republican claims the White House in 2012.
The memo, by Obama campaign policy director James Kvaal, charges that under both Romney's and Perry’s tax plans, “the most fortunate Americans would pay less while the middle class would pay a higher share.” It describes their economic plans as “far right," draws parallels to proposals by congressional Republicans, and repeatedly charges that those who make money by investing wealth will prosper while those who live off of “work” will suffer. It’s a version of the warrior-for-the-middle-class message the president has been repeating since he began selling his jobs plan earlier this year.
