I agree with your thesis that the real damage to BHO's public rep will come not necessarily from the deliberately enshrouded circumstances of his birth,but rather his obsessive secrecy about everything about his life. You don't have to be the slightest bit concerned with the debate over what "native born" really means to have your suspicions piqued about the man because of his strange paranoia about revealing even the most innocuous details about all of his past. Heck, you don't have to even be a consitutionalist or even a Republican to figure out that's pretty darn odd.

That's why I'd like to see the birthers keep the heat on all the conspicuously missing information on this guy so as not to give ammunition to those in the media who would only be too happy to paint all people who are creeped out by the bizarre secrecy in his background as gullible paranoiacs who've latched on to 'out there' folks like Taitz, Corsi et al peddling clearly suspect documents and grasping at embarrassing straws.

I think the most effective tack right now, PR speaking, would be to go after the media full bore on why it demanded (and got) GWB's transcripts, why it demanded (& got) John McCain's BC, why even Chuckie Schumer insisted that every candidate's and politician's medical records were absolutely the business of the people, yet Barack Obama has been able to get away with playing hide & seek on all of these aspects of his deliberately obscure background with absolutely not the slightest shred of curiosity, let alone blowback from the very same journalists who asserted - and continue to assert - their god given right to play proctologists with the backgrounds of all republican candidates.

Thanks to the US media, we know where Sarah Palin's kids got their first gyn exams for heavens sakes, and yet we still get all kinds of conflicting stories out of 'mainstream' outlets on which Hawaiian hospital the 45th president of the United States was supposedly born in. You've got high profile establishment journalists like Andrew Sullivan still intensely interested in where & when the former Governor of Alaska's youngest son was born & analysing in excruciatingly minute detail what his birth certificate says, and yet no high profile journalists seem remotely interested in establishing definitively where & when the extraordinary man who has acceded to this supposedly 'historic' Presidency was born, let alone anything about his college career.

If BHO's presidency is so damn historic, why is all the history of this President's undeniably historic life being so carefully hidden from the frikkin' historians?

You don't have to be a birther to think that's just full-out-honkin' weird.The birthers need to establish solidarity with those Americans to get them on their side to force the press to come clean on their odd double standards here.EVERYBODY mistrusts the media and there's no one alive who is willing to pretend that the establishment press in this country isn't biased anymore. Let's bring the ballgame over to their dugout and see whether they can be shamed into filing FOIA requests on this guy.

Excellent idea. Somebody on here has Lexus-nexus and knows how to quickly and easily get this stuff. It should also include the long list of would-be "public records" that He has kept sealed.

It should be handed out at events.

Exactly! No reasonably decent historian would write a biography about a president and not be able to verify which hospital he was born in, what health problems he may or maynot have had, and weather he was an honor student, or a just barely made it out of school student.

The only thing we know about Mr. Obama’s past is what he wrote in his 2, count ‘em two, autobiographies both written by the time he was 45. And both shown to have glowing misrepresentations, read LIES, about his past.

This guys background has more holes than a wheel of swiss cheese.

Reminds me of the reclusive billionaire - Howard Hughes...people knew there was something not right there.
