See my post #252. It's a win-win situation. Distract now, denigrate later. It will keep opponents busy while he pushes his agenda, and ruin them just in time for reelection. He needs us focused on anything but his and Congress' actions. Our country may be able to survive 4 years, but 8?

Obama tried to create a division to distract with the ‘race issue’ on the Gates arrest.

Obama doesn’t like people digging about his past. He would not encourage it. His media men are doing everything they can to ridicule those who are researching.

Again a message to DU: there is nothing political about ‘facts’. I am sure the mods here would be grateful for anyone, even from DU, to help show that the birth certificate is a forgery.

I don’t think it is a forgery. I have learned more about Kenya and British administrative practices in the last 24 hours than I ever have in my lifetime. Some people would be smart enough to be able to perform forgeries of some major chunks of the document but not all of it.
