Obama had grown incredulous at the overall debate. . . . Finally, on April 19, in a meeting with White House counsel Bob Bauer, the president asked about the feasibility of getting his long-form birth certificate at last.
. . . Last week, it was Obama who made the call to proceed. “He was the driving force,” the official said.
The swift action that followed — in less than 10 days, Obama’s lawyers were able to obtain the legal waivers necessary to bring copies of the certificate back to the White House – raised questions about the timing. Why, for example, did Obama officials wait so long to tamp down rumors that have dogged the president since the 2008 presidential campaign? Why did they release the forms on the very day that Trump is making his first visit to New Hampshire, and during a week when Obama is slated to make other major announcements about his national security team?
According to senior administration officials, the timeframe was the result of Obama’s personal request for a resolution – and reflected his impatience with political frivolity of any kind.
. . .
When administration officials released the paperwork on Wednesday morning shortly after 9 a.m., it came as a shock to the political establishment. White House officials moved quickly to explain how it had come about, holding briefings with reporters, releasing the paperwork via Twitter and then sending the president to the podium in the White House briefing room.

I guess that's the way community organizers lead - from behind. REAL leaders lead from the front and by example.
So he wasted millions in campaign funds to keep it hidden.
Wow!!! less than 10 days? - it took me much longer then that to hire a team of lawyers to obtain 'waivers' to fly somewhere to get my birth certificate...
Oh wait, no it didn't - I just filled out a form and paid $12.
Oh, please. Another WaPo barf piece.
Ever since this guy’s community organizing days, he’s done nothing but whipping up class warfare. As soon as he arrived on the national scene, he’s done nonstop pandering to his base.
WHEN is the last time he ever did something for the good for this country? Yesterday at the presser he said timing of it is ‘for the good of the country’. Mr. President, if want to do something for the good of this country, RESIGN! Clearly you are not up to handling the office.
Hillary asked for the birth certificate -- it took Obama 3 months to come up with the first COLB.
Others asked for the birth certificate -- it took over 2 years to come up with the second COLB.
Last year I asked for my birth certificate -- it took less than 24 hours.
But, yeah, sure, let's all praise Obama's quick and decisive action on this important issue. [/s]
“I spent $2 million and all I got was this lousy birth certificate.”
Gag.
Choke.
Barf.
Spew.
Evidently if this is true, it took “less than 10 days” to forge and assemble the new, long-form COLB.
But frankly, they did a pretty lousy job of it. Obama not only fails as a President, he even fails as a criminal. It’s a good thing has so many people providing him with cover, no matter what.
This, my Freends, is PR genius at work.
"You see, little people whom I dearly love, I tried for months and months to get those lackadaisacal Hawaiian rascals to give me my Birth Certificate, and finally I just had to get tough with them. Heh, heh, Waddayaknow, they finally realized that it doesn't pay to get my African up and they delivered and here is is, jut as I promised!"
That it is irrevocable Obamian hosshiite is just so beside the point, Whitey!
Was Obama ‘incredulous at the overall debate’ before or after spending so much money to avoid the issue? Did he get incredulous after 3 months of this issue, 9 months, 2 years?
I’m not a birther, but a doubter. Still am.
Now I’ll put on my tinfoil hat: Wonder if Mr. Trump (a significant donor to the democrat party) played this out on behalf of Mr. Soetero? Wonder if this was intended to be an end run on dealing with States considering proving citizenship to be on the 2012 ballot.
Hahahaha!!!
Exactly. I bet you didn’t even have to sit down and discuss the “feasibility” (Feasibility: so nuanced and thinky-like) of acquiring your birth cert, either.
What an amazing and relentless propaganda machine bouys the SockPuppet in Chief!!!
How many people need to talk to their lawyer to get a copy of a birth certificate.
This is the smartest most powerful guy in the world?
He was the morning and the evening star! His voice reacheth the unborn babe asleep, and the marble tomb, and now the Hawaiian Dept of Health! Praise the Won!
..in ten days Dumbo realized Trumps comments were hurting him badly in the polls and HAD TO release something...be it bogus or not.....and since it was released yesterday, and the racist rant started yesterday....it does not take a a PHD to figure Soro’s cabana boy was in trouble.
Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals #5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."
It ain't working anymore, though, and they are really confused by that.
People should celibate the success and move on to his school records.
Maybe Birthers should rename themselves the Alternative Investigative Reporters or something like that.
Doing the job the press refuses to do.
I am surprised, I Tell Ya! Why did not Zero use the occasion to fly to Hawaii, with his family and a bunch of friends, so he could walk out of the DOH building carrying his newly printed BC for all the MSM to video?
