I tend to agree with you. I believe this is a give them enough rope situation the dems are using on the conservatives. And I wonder if sometimes we're not just too eager to tie our own nooses.
I don’t buy that premise. If Obama is playing a gotcha game with this, it not’s going to save his cratering poll numbers. He may win a news cycle for a day or two. But his presidency is such a disaster it won’t save him.
If there’s nothing to hide, why is Obama afraid to show his ID? Why do they fight it in court? Is this the “I’m a black man so they’re asking me for more than they ask a white man, and I’m not gonna stand for it” situation similar to the recent Cambridge incident? The only difference here is that the Cambridge thing was caught on tape and happened over a few minutes. This birth certificate/citizenship thing has been drawn out over a few years. We still don’t know if Obama changed his name or was adopted. We still don’t know if he went to college via scholarships for foreign students.
