“Look like a jerk” - semantics!
Context is lost on anti-birthes...as is so much else. It comes from leaving the realm of logic and rationality behind, which is the prerequisite for believing that Obama is even semi-honest/trustworthy.
Unfortunately for anti-birthers, living in the land of illogic comes at a cost, not the least of which is intelligence. Before long the anti-birther has reduced him or herself to a near-moronic intellectual level. Yet it is essential to the anti-birther’s psyche to believe that he/she is far more intelligent than the average birther. Hence the group need to play idiotic games aimed at ‘proving’ anti-birthers are of superior intelligence. Obama does the exact same thing. These games are not very sophisticated, btw. Truly intelligent people wouldn’t stoop to them, but for the anti-birther’s psychological well-being they are essential.
It’s nearly impossible to tell which is more pathetic, the pathological liar’s self-delusions, or those of his benighted supporters. Both are sad spectacles. I suppose the supporters are most to be pitied. At least Obama gets AF1 and lots of golf time. His supporters only get to look used, taken advantage of, and clueless.
