More than anything, I am pissed at this President’s snobby and elitist attitude towards the public in regards to this issue. He’s done nothing but play games and continues to laugh his ass off as he screws America at every turn.
Oh, gosh. Honestly, Obama has basically STOLEN a significant part of my time and attention from me this week (and previously, too) by not releasing this damn certificate about 2 years ago.
Honestly, I was thinking YESTERDAY about writing an article for the newspaper about the legitimacy of "birther" questions. I've spent hours today trying to sort out the truth from all of the fiction and speculation that's been flying around.
So yeah, he has been and undoubtedly still is laughing his ass off. At guess whose expense?
You could have saved a lot of that time by using the same reasoning you have shown tonight.
Obama said he had a certificate. Having said that, it was almost a certainty that there was a certificate. In fact, everything he did since the start could easily be interpreted as a guy who knew he had the goods, but wanted to let his opponents hang themselves until the opportune moment.
Sure, it was annoying. But it only took one person to push to the conclusion. For example, I left room for the possibility that something was wrong with Obama’s birth, but put no effort into caring about it or investigating. And here we are, and Trump did the work for me. And I’d dare say I had as much to do with the result as you did, with all the work you did, or any of the other freepers who spent so much time on the issue.
I’m not criticizing you. It was your life to use as you wished. I’m just saying that, unlike the CBS forgeries, where it was clear there could be a reason for trying to deceive, and the result was so important that it had to be dealt with, in this case there was almost no chance of turning out otherwise, and it was going to come out whether I worried about it or not.
I think Obama played us. It’s not the first time. It’s a classic manuever to keep the scent off real issues — set up a straw man, feed it, nurture it, and then swat it down when it’s politically helpful to do so.
As Palin said, it’s a distraction from the real issues of the day. And it played into Obama’s hands today, with the help of his media.
“Oh, gosh. Honestly, Obama has basically STOLEN a significant part of my time and attention from me this week (and previously, too) by not releasing this damn certificate about 2 years ago.”
DITTOS. I have wasted too much time debunking false birther claims, trying to convince people that the dregs of evidence showed he was born in Honolulu. Now he releases this - proving what we already ‘knew’ and the thought is: What took you so long? He could have collapsed the birther movement a long time back!
Can we please move on?
Here’s a mantra to keep you focussed:
Obama may be American-born, but America will kick his butt out of office in November 2012!
