I’d say that statement is definitely a change of position... maybe Mr. Rove’s employer Ms. Bachmann wasn’t too happy with the feedback she almost certainly received today.
While she sounded like she was saying the COLB would be OK, she clearly was making the point that Obama hasn't actually submitted it to any court or authorities who could verify it.
I suspect that Romney is Rove’s favored candidate, not Bachmann, and it will be interesting to see if Romney picks up on this line of “Why hasn't he put forth the BC?”
Just last week Gretta re-played the tape on this video of Rove saying Trump was “off in the nutty right”!
Now, with Trump's poll numbers rising Rove is trying to make his way back to the front of the parade, only he wants to school Trump on how to be more moderately credible as a “birther” by avoiding false statements.
