The problem for Obama in playing that game is...what happens after the laughter dies down and someone in the media asks “well why don’t you just release your long form birth certificate then and show these people how silly they are?”
(Note: I’ve been called a birther, afterbirther, denier, etc etc by both sides. I think many people involved are nutty like that dentist lady...but I do wonder why he won’t release it.)
Nobody in the media is going to ask him that.
Except for fox, maybe. But then again, fox isn’t a real news outlet anyways. *rolls eyes* Especially at this point. The progressive media outlets never saw it as valid, and with as much discreditting as they’ve done, fox wouldn’t touch it at this point.
That’s the beauty of being a progressive politician in a nation with a majority of progressive news outlets. You don’t get asked all kinds of questions.
And there’s been so much about Obama, even right from the beginning, that there’s no need for all this birth certificate stuff. No matter how valid it may be.
I’m more interested in seeing his college works uncovered.
