It is possible that the whole birther issue is a fabrication to keep everybody distracted so that disasterous policies can be instituted with minimal distraction.
Imagine the brouhaha that would envelop the 2012 election if Obama turned out to be perfectly eligible. The club that the Dems could swing would be huge and it could cost the Republicans both houses.
The money spent hiding Obama’s personal information is a small expense, considering how much national elections would cost and the Dems would not be above spending the money, considering how much they’d get out of it.
Wake up.
