In fact, I'm convinced that Obama won't show us his "real" birth certificate precisely because it baits people and distracts some conservatives from more worthwhile pursuits.
Seeing as how he has never shown his real birth certificate, that's pretty thin at best. The same day he's inaugurated, he places most of his life history off limits, and folks think "he's distracting some conservatives from more worthwhile pursuits". He refuses to show his real birth certificate and some folks think "he's distracting some conservatives from more worthwhile pursuits".
Folks that think that way better wake up and realize that should those documents ever see the light of day, he is a ruined man.
His approval numbers are in the toilet and he could gain instant popularity should he prove all the "birthers" wrong. Yet he doesn't. To lay claim that he is enjoying all of that is hogwash. He flees from the White House every opportunity he gets.
He's distracting some conservatives from more worthwhile pursuits? The man is refusing a life line to his presidency and no one wonders why. Once again, the Supreme Court has failed in their duty to put this matter to rest. Don't know about the rest of you, but to quote Hans Solo, "I have a bad feeling about this." Something that could be resolved in the simplest of ways is not resolved and we the great unwashed are not allowed to know why. The action of the Supreme Court today bodes evil days to come and soon.
The Supreme Court is about as helpful as the DreddScott decision.
