It’s all just...surreal.
It is a bit surreal. Here’s how I think this crazy plot came to be.
Obama’s team kept getting hammered about the rumors that he wasn’t born in America. They approached him, and he told them that he couldn’t find his birth certificate. He remembered what it said, but he didn’t have the original. Then he says, “Oh, and here’s a copy of my sister’s birth certificate, isn’t there something we could do with a computer image and just change the name? It’s not like I was born in a manger in Bethlehem, hah hah hah.” So his dutiful minions set out to create a birth certificate that has all the right information according to what they’d been told (after all, they can trust Obama) and they put it up with a minimum of fuss and pizazz on the website, within minutes of it actually being manipulated on the computer (this part is established by the date the Kos & StopTheSmears files were saved and then posted onto their respective websites). Basically, Obama lied to his closest supporters, thinking he could get away with it. And if it doesn’t work, he throws them under the bus. Standard operating procedure for democrats these days.
