Show me one quote from any of the many people Obama claims to have shown the booklet to who acknowledge having seen it.

Also answer this simple question. It concerns the following quote:

“Obama didn’t know what to think, but he flew back to Washington hoping that maybe, just maybe, he now had a stake to drive through the heart of birtherism, killing it once and for all—and slaying Trump in the bargain.”

Here’s the question. How can a booklet no one has ever admitted to seeing [unless you have a link showing otherwise] and which has never been made public, ‘drive a stake through the heart of birtherism’?

Obama’s magical thinking is pathological and very sick. Now he’s got you doing it too.

According to the book, when Obama got back to Washington after finding the booklet while going through his mother's things in Chicago, he showed it to White House Counsel Bob Bauer, who immediately recognized it as a "commemorative keepsake" and not the sought-after birth certificate. The question of whether to go after the long form birth certificate came up.

Bauer thought no, the short form was his BC and was all the law required, and they'd long since posted that.

David Plouffe reasoned that, on the one hand, most voters think Obama was born in Hawaii and think the birthers are nuts, and, therefore, that the more oxygen Trump got, the better. On the other hand, if the birther cause were to gain traction among normal voters, it could spell trouble ...

Obama reportedly was getting tired of it, saying "I understand that politically this is probably good for us, since it makes their party look crazy. But let's pop the balloon and shut down this foolishness once and for all."

In the event, Bauer got the job of getting the HDoH to cough up the certificate. Which they did. Obama's lawyer Judith Corley journied to Honolulu and hand-carried two certified copies back to the White House. How much did that cost? How much would FedEx have charged?

Of course, we know what happened next. As soon as the scan was posted, the birfers started counting PDF layers ....
