Let’s say- for the sake of arguement- that someones(s) at Daily Kos decided to do this as a set up. That assumes the birth certificate at Obama’s and Kos site is NOT legitimate right? Otherwise- why the set-up?
Sooooooo..for a cheap political trick- a presidential candidate allows fake docs to be placed on his official website and to stay there for over two weeks? So that he can at some later date, whip out the REAL one and say,nanny-nanny-boo-boo? Wouldn’t that candidate be at least dealing in entrapment?
Does that make sense?
By and large- it seems to me the best technical research has been done by Polarik. When read slowly and carefully, it’s compelling reading and it’s very hard to walk away and still believe these are official documents.
I haven’t even begun to honestly speculate as to WHY we would be presented with a false document- except privately- because there are too many things we don’t know.
There is some merit in your theory, SE Mom.
I am not so certain how much attention Mr. Obama actually pays to his “fight-the-smears” website. I can imagine him tossing whoever posted it there under the bus with the rest of them, being “surprised” at all the chatter, etc...
He then comes across “pure as the driven snow”, and makes the “speculators/smearers/gossipy right wing racist look like complete and total fools.
I think, at this point, that it might be wise to be patient and wait a while.
Perhaps the MSM is working behind the scenes to track stuff down, hesitant because they do not want to look like they are taking “sting” bait?
We shouldn’t lose any sleep over it at this point. Time will tell, I think.
