I have written on this general theme before, but let me discuss how Scientific Birtherism provides a window in Obama’s soul.

So it's scientific now? If scientists kept repeating things that they didn't have proof for we'd be living in the dark ages. After you hear the untrue claim that the US barred its citizens from entering Pakistan in 1981 for the thousandth time, "Scientific Birtherism" will bring a smile to your face, too.

4. SLIMY. Obama thinks it is OK to make some Americans look crazy if it gets him votes.

Undoubtedly, but politics is largely about dividing, deriding, reviling, and discrediting people. Obama looks petty and nasty when he directly attacks his opponents.

Letting the media dispose of the opposition as "kooks" gets Obama's work done without creating a reaction against him. So encouraging Birtherism and letting late night comedians ridicule it makes Obama look less slimy than he would be if he had to do all that cutting and slashing himself.

No, actually I don’t go for some of the myths stuff. What is SCIENTIFIC in the KISS Matrix, is that all possibilities are open. And, out of all the possibilities, being from Kenya is the nicest! The rest really SUCK.

If you would change your focus from WHERE, to WHY Obama has not resolved it, then you will see how this is a GREAT ISSUE for Republicans.

For example, suppose Obama coughs up a long form tomorrow that shows he was born in a manger in Hawaii. The WHERE people are sunk. Its over.

The WHY Birthers OTOH (Which means On The Other Hand), are still in business! You will hear stuff like:

“Well, it only took him THREE YEARS to solve the question of where he was born, How long is it going to take to bring jobs back to America-—like NINE CENTURIES or something???”

OR

“Well, finally after THREE YEARS he coughs it up. How many innocent trees died in the Rain Forest over this debate.”

The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!
