If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing. (Napoleon Bonaparte)
I have written on this general theme before, but let me discuss how Scientific Birtherism provides a window in Obama’s soul. I have long held that the REAL Birther Question is WHY Obama does not resolve this matter by providing a copy of his long form birth certificate. I answer that question with the KISS Matrix which provides a framework of possible reasons which analyze WHY:
1. KENYA. He is born in Kenya, or there is something embarrassing on the long form.
2. IGNORANT. Obama is too ignorant to think of the simple answer.
3. SNOBBY. Obama thinks Americans are too stupid to believe the REAL THING!
4. SLIMY. Obama thinks it is OK to make some Americans look crazy if it gets him votes.
Most Obots I have debated with gleefully jump on No. 4, and re-phrase it in Machiavellian robes of “Political Cleverness”. OH, isn’t Obama just sooo smart to let his enemies shoot themselves in the foot and why should he stop them. Let’s go with the Obotski assessment for a while.
This window into Obama’s soul reveals a man who places his re-election chances ahead of doing the right thing and putting America first. This even while he sanctimoniously calls for ending divisiveness in America. And make no mistake, it is a very divisive issue. Feelings run high on both sides. Polls indicate nearly 60% of the country as a whole has some degree of doubt where Obama was born, ranging from Definitely Sure he was born outside the U.S. to Probably but not Definitely Sure he was born in the United states.
At present, Obama has a very uncomfortable fact of life with which he must live. That is, he was shellacked in the November Mid term elections, and the Republicans easily control the House of Representatives. And among Republicans, the belief that Obama was not born in the U.S is even higher and stronger than the above numbers. Any compromise that Obama must work out for the good of the country, will be with a party whose rank and file flatly believe Obama is a foreigner.
Has Obama realized this fact, and coughed up his long form??? No, because making political points and getting re-elected is more important to him than doing the right thing. And Republicans got a good dose of this when Obama made his speech about the budget and blatantly savaged Sen. Paul Ryan who he had invited to the speech. As Keith Hennessey noted in his Internet Article, “Obama squandered chance to reach across aisle“,
"The president’s budget speech was an effective way to launch the 2012 campaign. He has set up a debate about the future of fiscal policy and the role of government.He has poisoned the well for bipartisan negotiations, killing any chance of a grand budget bargain in the next 18 months. With a single speech he has relegated America to two more years of partisan budgetary stalemate, as we drift closer and closer to fiscal oblivion."
Obama’s own political party is going schizophrenic over Obama, unable to believe him yet seemingly impotent to dump him. He promised to close Gitmo, and didn’t. He promised to end the Bush Tax Cuts, and didn’t. He promised to end the Patriot Act, and didn’t. He promised to get a public option through health care reform, and didn’t. He promised to rein in Wall Street, and didn’t. He promised to end the war in Iraq, and didn’t. In fact, the Nobel Peace Prize winning President got us involved in a new one. I could go on. But, what Obama promised to do, but hasn’t done, or caved in on would take volumes. For the Democrats, Obama might want to re-write that “Change You Can Believe In” slogan for 2012 to “Change You Can Bereave In!” because the only thing that “changed” for them was Obama.
Yet, should Republicans, or even the Democrats be surprised??? The Window into The Soul Of Obama provided by his response to “cough up the long form”, paints a picture of a man who could care less what large numbers of Americans believe as long as it has the chance of motivating his base or getting himself re-elected. The Question needs to be asked: Does America really need a “politically clever” and cynically political president worried only about his own re-election and self-glorification at this juncture in our history??? You will get a chance to answer in November 2012.

Evil has no soul.
“Polls indicate nearly 60% of the country as a whole has some degree of doubt where Obama was born, ranging from Definitely Sure he was born outside the U.S. to Probably but not Definitely Sure he was born in the United states.”
Polls got nothing to do with it. All the evidence that does exist points to a Kenyan birth. That evidence ranges from eyewitness statements to multiple documentations.
The media and every public official for some reason, and I’m not saying why, fears Obama if they were to publicly reveal his Kenyan birth.
I think the reason people are so afraid of telling the truth about Obama includes:
1. 5 Gay guys murdered in Chicago execution-style
2. Guy investigating O’s passport stuff, murdered
and possibly others....
But I don’t trust that rascal any further than I can throw him. Sooo, if I ask WHY instead of WHERE, then he can’t wiggle out from what he has done. Because one thing nobody can dispute-—Obama has done NOTHING to resolve this very divisive issue for three years. And if you are a U.S.president, that is a horrible thing to do to the people. Plus, I wonder if he was born in Chad or maybe Fiji or who knows on their way to or back from Kenya. Obama could have been born anywhere.
Well, I put Kenya at 40%. Then maybe 40% he is just being a jerk and trying to get votes off this. Which if he is, OH did he ever FLOP!!! Can you spell SHELLACK???
I just know that a honest person would have resolved this 3 years ago, sooo the best thing we can prove for sure is, that he hasn’t resolved a divisive issue. Which a GOOD president ought to do.
The really bad thing is that this has drug on for 3 years. Like I been saying, “If he can’t solve a $10 Birth Certificate Question for 3 years, how can he solve a $15Trillion Economy??? Or anything else???

If I was Obama I wouldn’t, even if born in Hawaii of American Citizen parents.
It is a stupid issue. The problem is not where the President was born; it is the fact that someone with his documented views and votes could get elected; the Birth Certificate issue is like what heavy metal band T-shirt the mass murderer was wearing when they shot 15 people. If the people concerned (or aggravated, or pissed or revolted, whatever) put the same energy into running for local office, focusing on local issues, fighting nanny-statism in their city council or county board of supervisors a lot more good for conservatism would be done. Quite frankly, it’s too late- the horse is not only out of the barn but it’s been ridden to victory in the Kentucky Derby. The more fuss and focus on it the less on the execrable mess of a budget and the handing over of this country to Muslims and Mexicans.
YMMV

This article about eligibility takes a totally different twist, and it is an important one for the general public to think about. If no one in the media take this stance, please discuss this with your friends or coworkers on either side of the aisle:
Obama is not answering questions about his birth certificate. He has a reason for this. It is either that he doesn’t have one, or he doesn’t care that Americans feel they should have facts about his eligibility. Think about it: do you want a President who is this kind of arrogant towards us, either way? Whatever your political philosophy?
And for the few libs who still stick up for O and will say that Obama has put up his COLB, ask them when he personally has stood behind the document put up for him online (he carefully has not) or why he has not provided that copy, unredacted to the media.
There is something wrong with Obama. It might be that he is ineligible, or it might be that he is completely arrogant and feels above the American citizens who are his bosses.
Good point.
Isn't it evident that the defenders of the Constitution ( **all** of it) can multi-task?
Thank you!!! You are one of the few people who seem to get this, but really this is the REAL Birther Question IMHO (which means In My Humble Opinion.)
Obama can not run from it. He has already sat idle for 3 years while something like 60% of the country has some degree of doubt. This is what the “sophisticated” Republicans seem to miss.
Karl Rove realizes this is a Obama political game, but hasn’t gone that extra little bit further to comprehend:
“HEY WAIT!!! Playing divisive political games is a BAD THING!!! Why don’t we go after Obama on that issue!!!”
It is that Chicago intimidation that has struck fear in the hearts and minds of all media, the entire legislative branch, the entire judicial branch and all members of the previous administration.
None will say a word as they must fear for their lives and the lives of their families.
I emailed my House rep on two issues today and demanded the impeachment of this traitor both times. We have to keep pressure on this idiots to do the right thing: impeachment, a treason trial and confinement in a SuperMax.
Good point!
Why not where!
Why has he not cleared up this controversy by simply showing the form?
Hi _______________!!! First, I'm NOT that Squeeky Fromm---so you don't have to hide under your desk or anything.Be sure to watch that video if you get the chance.Here is how you can have some fun. Just watch this video of Chris Matthews, Clarence Page, and David Corn, all agreeing that Obama should cough up the long form birth certificate!!! Then, Chris Matthews has the nerve to tease Donald Trump for asking to see the same thing???
Sooo, why is Donald Trump a "crazy" Birther, and Chris, Clarence, and David aren't???

His Grandmother says she was there when he was born in Kenya. Why is there any other question until the man shows his birth certificate to refute that?
He could have been born in the Lincoln Bedroom and he still wouldn't be a NBC. I want to see the long form bc to see who the daddy was. If it was Senior, then he owes loyalties to England and Kenya and is not a NBC. Just let him and his koolaid sippers try to get out of the TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS definition of NBC because he signed his name to that definition in the SR 511.
