Obama had a wonderful narriative about how he came to be, full of stories about hope and possibility. Stump speeches full of anecdotes from his past combined with his two autobiographies gave us all we needed to know about his background. There was only one slight problem: Too many of his stories turned out to be false.
There was the story about how his grandfather liberated the Jews at Auschwitz concentration camp, or the story of how his parents met in Selma, Alabama during the civil rights struggle, for example. Both turned out to be falsehoods.
Everything else about his background is either proven false or unverifiable due to all documentation being hidden. No wonder so many began to question the official story. Obama may be perfectly legit, but we may never know the truth. We only know what he wants us to know and very little of that story holds up.
My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek.
That said, I agree with all you say. Consider, though, that now he has provided the first piece of hard evidence. As I see it, here is a document that can be examined directly, and maybe, just maybe, is the major breakthrough.
Recall, Rather had nothing until the fake letter. The need to produce a document, to help or to hurt, is their undoing. Where did they get the pdf file? From Hawaii? or is it from the white house? It’s either or. So which is it?
But really the question is why release a controversial (fakey) document in the first place?
