That just doesn't fly any more. We heard a lot about sucking conservatives into a trap and then suddenly pulling out the birth certificate and making them look like fools. We heard it during election year. We heard it at the Inauguration. We heard it for the first several months.
Does anybody really believe that obama would let this issue fester for more than two years, and never pull out that supposed trump card? It simply doesn't make any sense. It's been damaging his credibility for more than two years, and he still hasn't pulled out his secret decoder ring?
Thank you for saying it, Cicero! That old "they're setting a trap" argument has gotten downright stupid.
Yes. I do. First, it is a great issue to get his enemies to expose themselves. It brings those 'Constitution-reading bitter clingers' out of the woodwork.
Second, the issue, despite the efforts of many, did not get enough traction to be used against the people who brought it up the first campaign. They (we) were considered 'kooks' (even here) and dismissed, despite the validity of the questions asked and the absence of answers besides the Factcheck fake.
Now, though, just as the BC hammer can has cracked the shiny facade of 'Hope and Change' it can do damage in the other direction as well.
There has been ample time to generate and plant the essential documentation to throw in our faces in the next election cycle, play Obama as a 'victim' of everyone from the eeevil FOX news to the richwhiteman to Christians, Gunowners, and Patriots of every stripe, in order to get in a second round of looting the USA. We may reach parity in the exchange program between dollar bills and sheets of toilet paper, but the country is far from broke with 240,000,000 acres of Federal land and all the mineral and harvestable wealth on and in it, not to mention offshore resources. There is still plenty to steal, even if the sugar bowl on top of the cupboard is empty.
I expect that if the issue heats up, Obama will have the shiny new (but aged for authenticity) BC and other goodies unveiled in time to make those of us who have followed the lack of documentation look bad, and with not enough time left to debunk them.
When this has run its course, he will have played the tump card (albeit a fake) on Trump.
In the meantime, America better wake up to Obama's real agenda, that of destroying the 'great satan' from within and find ways to stop it.
We are in for a long, hard, haul--if we survive as a nation.
