When he released his long-form birth certificate on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama gave into pressure put on him by potential 2012 presidential candidate Donald Trump, seemingly playing right into the real estate mogul’s hand by addressing an issue he had so steadfastly avoided. But, indirectly, Obama is benefiting from giving in to Trump as the mainstream media’s focus isn’t on the major storylines that would usually dominate the headlines, like the Federal Reserve press conference, unfavorable economic numbers and all-time-lows for Obama in polling results.
Obama’s rapid shift on the issue raises some questions. Even the day before the White House released the birth certificate, press secretary Jay Carney ripped CNN’s Ed Henry for asking about it. In his briefing room appearance on Wednesday, though, Obama said he’d made the decision to release his long-form birth certificate a couple weeks before.
Did Carney know about the president’s plan? If not, why not? If so, why disparage a reporter for sullying the briefing room by asking a question about the birth certificate one day and the next day have the president give a press conference in the briefing room to talk about the very same birth certificate the reporter was supposedly sullying by bringing up?
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank questioned Obama’s swift jump into the birther story, too, and points out that NBC opted to go live with the president’s birth certificate statements only because it had previously expected a national security announcement.

“Distract the press?”
Why sure. Fake ‘em out with a FAKE birth certificate.
The press! what press? you mean the gaggle of boot likers who run cover for the king?
America is going downhill because of Obama.
No one on the MSM even discussed it.
Instead ... they discussed the weather again.
Around December of next year....I believe most folks will begin to realize that this was all a WWE-wrestling style script...which Trump easily fitted into, the transcripts & birth certificate were perfect distractions, and everyone was consumed with things beyond the accomplishments of his administration (when the highlights of four years fit neatly on a 3x5 card....you’ve got a problem).
I wonder if Obama put that schmata out just to find out who the real pressitutes and gutless RINOs were.
It was just as easy to predict a FAKE as it was that all the LSM worms and RINO creeps would fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
It has been my opinion from the git-go that the “birther issue” was being used by the administration and its minions in the MSM to belittle and demean Conservatives for as long as they could.
The along comes Trump (a lib) and makes them use up their ammo. I love it!
If the Birth Certificate that was presented was real, any person with half a mind has to wonder why he witheld it for so long.
Why did he have lawyers fighting to keep us from seeing it and why did Hawaii change the rules to help him keep it from being seen?
It just doesn’t make sense.
Seems to me that they’re still doing it.
Once again he HAS NOT released his long-form birth certifcate.
What he released is a photoshop of cobbled together information as an ‘abstract’
It would have been much easier to put a copy of the original on the copy machine (like they do when I need one)
No one can name even one positive success Obama has achieved yet he is about to ask for another term and unfortunately there maybe enough stupid people to give it to him.
If it was real it would have been presented as requested by Hillary back in ‘08, (Natural born citizenship, as required by the Constitution). it is a clever forgery.
the press distract themselves, they don’t need help
“The “BC” released yesterday shows that Obama
is PROVEN-INELIGIBLE.”

I think it has always been known that his father was not a citizen, but they overlook that and say it does not matter...pffft.
On top of that, it now turns out that his father was actually an illegal immigrant, but they just say, move on, nothing to see here.
The US is already like the old Soviet Union.
The power makes up the rules or dismisses as needed.
The media is just as bad as the old Radio Albania, and worse then Radio Moscow of the Commie days.
NBC is state run media. That’s a real problem and it needs to be addressed..
I really wonder why they put out such a terrible fake?
If it was to distract the public, it succeeded for less than half a day before the “fraud” charges started booming out and the focus went back on Obama for LYING once again.
Or was it just a big middle finger being leveled at America. “You want to see my BC? Here, chew on this p.o.s., SUCKAS!”
Those seem like extreme explanations but Obama and Crew believing that rag would fool anybody who practices critical thinking and analytical skills seems even MORE extreme and incredible.
Do I believe he meets the intentions of our forefathers. Definitely not. Both parents should have been citizens. The intention was "loyalty". People were oathing to these new United States. British loyalists, born on USA soil were in jail.
“No one can name even one positive success Obama has achieved yet he is about to ask for another term and unfortunately there maybe enough stupid people to give it to him.”

All we will here for the next 18 months is that Obozo is the best president in history, and no way he can loose.
At least 45% of the American public has been dumbed down to moron level, then add in the hordes of illegals that will be voting.
Oh....I didn’t know that. Interesting. Always said Obama had something on Hillary. Could be mutual blackmail.
“it is a clever forgery”
I wish I could agree with you but it is beyond ridiculous.
Even without digital analysis, we have a number that is out of sequence and a “Registrar” with the Oh-so-cute name of U.K.L. Lee. Uh-huh. sure.
An examination with Adobe Illustrator makes mincemeat of any claim to authenticity. It is simply a digital “c.p.a.” job, as we used to call it in the mortgage industry (cut, paste, and assemble).
