Really? How's that working out for you? I presume you have had a lot of success lately mobilizing public opinion? Obviously you are fixed in your determination to just keep on doing what you have been doing, all the while hoping for a different result. Under no circumstances should you reach out for a new idea when the old one is working so well.
Incidentally, if you took a moment to think about it, the argument about blackmail is not whether it would have an effect on Obama but whether it would have effect on persuading the public in general that they a commander in chief and chief executive officer who is vulnerable to blackmail. It puts Obama in the position of having to come forward and defend an indefensible position. He arguably risks the security of the nation by withholding the documents while he puts forward no reasonable justification.
It provides a justification for the demand for the documents which makes it more difficult for Obama to play the race card to avoid the issue which he has done with 100% success so far.
Do I think is a silver bullet? No, of course not. It's just one more argument that might get a few more percent of the public thinking our way. It does not require anyone to abandon any constitutional principle except Obama. If you like, if it makes you feel more comfortable, you could argue that the natural born citizenship requirement is in the Constitution precisely, if only partly, to ensure that the president is not vulnerable to blackmail or foreign influence.
