It's possible that Obama & co. are playing a game of rope-a-dope. That explanation almost makes sense. The only other explanation for withholding the b.c., is that there's something to hide.

Here's the thing about conspiracies involving more than 3 or 4 people: they don't work. Someone always talks. If there were a particle of truth to it, the Clintons would have run Obama out of the race last year.

There's no conspiracy, there is nothing to hide. Obama wants the birther story to continue to discredit conservatives and grab attention from his own problems with health care and energy policy.

Seem to recall a fellow by the name of Ockham (Occam) had a rule of thumb about competing hypotheses.

If you had something to hide you would certainly play it off as rope-a-dope.

And if it is a rope-a-dope, what will have been the total cost in time and money to the American people? And to what end? So Obama could play some sort of political game? I don't know if people are really going to appreciate that. Either way it goes, it doesn't look good for Obama.
