Obama’s political strategy is to not reveal a long form birth certificate in order to force Republicans, particularly potential opponents for 2012, to go on the record on this issue. His strategy is working.
“If there was any shred of truth to [birther conspiracies], Hillary Clinton and her wonderful investigative opposition research machine would have found it and would have used it. For Republicans to even be bringing it up, I think it’s a waste of energy and time.”—Mike Huckabee
“Do you question his faith and citizenship?” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was asked during an onstage interview hosted by the Long Island Association. Her answer was brief and to the point.
“I don’t, and those are distractions,” she said to some applause. “What we’re concerned about is the economy. And we’re concerned about the policies coming out of his administration and what he believes in terms of big government or private sector. So, no, the faith, the birth certificate, others can engage in that kind of conversation. It’s distracting. It gets annoying and let’s just stick with what really matters.”
“The state of Hawaii has said that the President was born there. That’s good enough for me.”—Congressman John Boehner, Speaker of the House
House Majority Leader Eric I. Cantor, Virginia Republican, said that he thinks President Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen and that questions on the issue have no place in Capitol Hill policy-making discussions.
I dont think its an issue that we need to address at all, he said on NBCs Meet the Press. It is not an issue that even needs to be on the policy-making table right now whatsoever.
“Imagine if Sarah Palin did not have a birth certificate?” Rush Limbaugh
FYI - Obamas political strategy is to paint this country SEIU purple.
