The birth certificate thing feels like a distraction to me, one with some enormous consequences if we’re wrong about it.

What do you mean "we?" Do you believe Obama is a natural-born citizen?

There's nothing for "us" to be wrong about. People are asking the President to show his birth certificate. Donald Trump has asked why he can't produce one.

What's it to you, Walter?

Obama is too smooth of a politician to allow this issue to grow like it has. I smell trap.

What kind of trap? The kind of trap where people get foam-at-the-mouth angry and then he pulls out his birth certificate shortly before the election, winning a whole lot of sympathy with independents who see the foam-at-the-mouth angry people who were attacking “poor Obama.”

If that happens in October 2012, we lose the White House and probably a lot of Congress as well.

I think Trump is out front kicking the trap right now. I’m rooting for him to trigger it so that it doesn’t catch our 2012 nominee.

REGARDLESS of how this turns out, though, my energy is better spent building up good conservative candidates at the state and Congressional level. Knotting my stomach about Obama’s birth certificate isn’t going to help, but getting out there and working for good conservatives at the state and Congressional levels certainly will.

I’m amazed that this idea has caused so much rage toward me today from other Freepers.
