Tau Food, I ask you this, “Why has Obama spent millions in not doing exactly what I can do for less than a dollar?”

Well, first, I want you to consider the following political fact: during his two presidential campaigns, Obama was the primary political beneficiary of the birther "investigations."

Obama didn't want the birther activists to go away for the same reason that, in 1972, Nixon didn't want the long-haired, pot-smoking, hippie war protestors to go away.

At the time, I really had no idea whether the birthers were on to something serious or not, but as time went by it became increasingly clear that Obama was using the issue to paint his opponents as nuts and kooks. Like Nixon wanted to create associations between hippie war protestors and Democrat candidates, Obama wanted to create associations between birthers and Republican candidates. Most Republican politicians avoided the bait.

If what you suggest is true, why did Obama scramble so fast to produce that multi-layered LFBC monstrosity the instant Trump started championing the ‘birther’ issue? If ‘birtherism’ was really good for Obama, shouldn’t he have ignored Trump & allowed him to go hog wild? Yet the moment Trump began shining a spotlight on the issue, voila, out of the woodwork comes a LF BC, paraded out in front of the cameras for all the world to see. Despite the obvious cut & paste/computer-generated nature of the doc, it laid the issue to rest for many. If Obama profited from the issue, why did he want it to go away?
