He's not showing his real BC because he's getting political mileage out of not showing it.
He gets to sit back with a smile on his face and watch conservative leaders try and deal with birthers, disinviting them from tea parties and backpedalling and obfuscating the public statements they've made on the issue. Trying on one hand not to look like conspiracy mongers while on the understanding that they need birthers' votes.
Every conservative candidate from here on out is going to be asked if they think Obama was born in Kenya and they're all going to have to beat around the bush answering the question. Birthers are the best thing Obama's got going for him only they're too thickheaded to figure this out!
He'll release his BC when it's politically expedient for him to do so. That time isn't now.
So his 50 percent and below approval numbers are a result of this political mileage??
Well, if this Arizona thing passes, it’ll be much easier for Republicans.
They can just say “well I haven’t given much thought to it. Certainly, when he turns in his birth certificate to Arizona, there won’t be any question at all. So it’s not something that I really even have to think about. You know, with this new Arizona law, the penalties for falsifying a document are so strict, life in prison, that I really really doubt that Obama would risk life in prison. I’m confident that if Obama appears on the Arizona ballot, he’s qualified.”
You are saying that 0bummer has been playing a grade school level game of gotcha with every citizen of the U.S. in order to make Republicans look foolish. Then, after more than a year in office, he is going to admit to playing the entire electorate like little children and his base and the media will just laugh and say "how cute!"
That's your theory? You don't think anyone on the left will stop and say "Hey, that's something a ten year old would do. What's up with that?"
