We can speculate about this all day, but I doubt very much that your Hu Jintao scenario is at all likely.
Doubtless it is a weakness of some sort; I just don’t think it is as significant as all that, and in the context of the funds Obama has available $1M is pocket change.
Perhaps, but it serves to illustrate the potential stakes and risks.

Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest explanation is the most likely. IMHO the simplest explanation is that BO is hiding something big and something reflecting badly upon him in some way. The money cost may be relatively small to him now, but he did not have big money until late in his campaign, and he has been hiding the birth certificate details virtually all of his public life. If so we have a president who is susceptible to blackmail.
