I truly can’t figure out what tipped him over towards this action. If anything, the Birther cause has become even less viable over the last year. Start with the “legal” challenges. Since March 2009, let’s take as a starting point, well over 50 birther lawsuits have been dismissed. Taitz wound up with sanctions in the Florida action. Hemenway scooted by on the “old age” exception. An Indiana court basically reaffirmed the reasoning in Wong. So, on that front, it has been a losing year for the birthers.
On the “he was born in Kenya” front, another year has gone by without a smoking gun. One BC (Bomford) was an obvious phony. The Smith BC hasn’t gotten much respect. Even Smith himself can’t swear that it is authentic. All he can swear to is how he got it. More importantly, there is no ongoing court action I am aware of, where it is in evidence. The Polarik analysis has been refuted by several other experts. So, on this prong, there hasn’t been any progress that I have seen.
In the court of public opinion, over the last year, more conservative pundits have disassociated themselves from the birther movement. Elections are coming up, and the conservative/Tea Party “diss” should intensify, IMHO.
So my question to Lakin is, “Why Now?” Again, I take it as given that he is sincere. Who or what convinced him now was the time to do this?

There have been a lot of new revelations. The DOH has indicated by virtue of information requests that Obama's certificate was amended, which means the alleged COLB is a forgery. They've also shown evidence that they've ignored their own laws that would LEGALLY allow them to release Obama's records and/or confirm the authenticity of his alleged COLB. There's also been the discovery of information that makes it apparent that Obama's certificate as photographed by factlack dot org is fraudulent. And more recently, it's been discovered that Obama's own wife says Kenya is his home country, and in his home country, this Minister of Land says Obama was born in Kenya. Further, historical writings have been discovered that further enforce the Minor and WKA definitions of NBC that a person must be born in the country of citizen parents. What more do you need??
What troubles me the most about Lakin is that his letter published on American Thinker explains his actions. In that letter he repeats some birther rumors that have been debunked. This man has been duped into believing some Internet rumors and citing them as evidence in his defense.
