I now agree with others who have said this is probably a diversionary tactic. Diverting from what is interesting, but Obama is the first really internet savvy Presidential candidate. He “gets it” enough to think of giving the bloggers “make work” to occupy them for awhile, or at least get them off the scent of something else.

This is the first glimpse into true internet warfare for president. 2012 will be the true arrival, especially if the GOP nominates a younger guy like Jindal. TWO candidates who get the internet age? That will turn elections on their head.

I agree, he and his campaigners are toying/taunting rightwing bloggers, who all want to be the next Buckhead.

I don't believe there is anything internet saavy about this. The blogosphere is filled with numerous special interests each going after their own angle. However, there may be something MSM saavy about this. The blogosphere has what amounts to infinite attention to detail. However, the MSM are a bunch of ADHD nincompoops. They will discount the whole blogosphere if this turns out to be a dead end.

That will set up the MSM cover story for the rest of the campaign. Any new item will just be poo-pooed as yet another birth certificate/swift boat dead end.

That said they gave Senator McCain a hassle about his birth certificate is it too much to ask the same of the Illinois Senator?

By the way the last time I looked Obama went to law school and passed the bar. These guys are trained in handing over copious documents in the discovery phase of law suits. Obama as a Lawyer should be held to a higher standard. Obama as a presidential candidate should be held to an even higher standard than a lawyer.

That's just flat out KOOKY and INSULTING that some of us can't do TWO THINGS at once. Any of you who can't go "sniff out the scent" of something else and those of us who can walk and chew gum will ALSO help on that too.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

There might be other motives behind the Obama candidacy, were he not a true American citizen.

I made the following post in another forum and my suspicions are in bold:

I agree that the birth certificate looks like a forgery. But, I'm also mystified as to why anyone in the Obama campaign, including Obama, would allow the question to float around so long and with so many discussions. For that reason, I can't believe that Obama or his campaign would try to pull such a big scam on the American people by running an unqualified candidate for president.

But, perhaps they're testing the waters and the constitution by running someone who wasn't born American? Some people, a few years ago, also suggested that the constitutional requirement about having to be born American, should have been bypassed to run the newest media darling at that time, namely, Arnold Whatshisnagger. Perhaps that's Obama's expectations this time around. And, since he's the nominee for the democrats this year, he might present a new argument stating that the people that selected him as nominee should not be disenfranchised just because he's not American born. Never mind that he might have misrepresented himself all the time that he was running for president.

But, I'm still skeptical about the whole thing. I can't believe that anybody, even the Marxist Obama, would try to pull the wool over the entire U.S. population.
