Has anyone ever asked Obama why he wouldn’t release the completely exonerating document until HALF the people in the country didn’t believe he was born in Hawaii?
I thought before the election that he’ll just delay, hope it goes away, and produce a forgery eventually if he has to. Just generally not tell the truth, and deny access to anything. Be as non transparent as possible.
How about the rest of his paper trail?
The majority of voters, and by extension, the citizens of this country are so hopelessly ignorant and naive, that they could not identify a stone cold marxist who was running for president. All the evidence was there, plain to see.
These people don’t recognize communism as a bad thing. Though he may or may not be a citizen, Obama is not an American, and neither are the people that could vote for such trash.
But no, instead the focus was “Where is the Birth Certificate?”.
Now imagine if 0bama could have held out until 2012 - and the damage that would have caused the GOP - and you wonder why he didn't release it sooner?
Gee, why didn't Hannibal spring his ambush on the Romans sooner? Because he waited for them to march into the jaws of the ambush FIRST.
This is basic political manuvering. The president was able to use the birther issue to label a large segment of his oppenents as kooks and freaks. My guess is that he was going to wait for this issue to crest at the eve of the 2012 election and the reveal it, making the GOP look like a bunch of chumps and easily coasting to victory.
Trump turned up the heat on this issue to the point where nearly half the country believed that the president is not eligible. Trump probably wanted to ride that wave of doubt into the White House, and with polls showing him ahead of all the other GOP potentials, and even beating the president as well, he could have. At that point, the president had no choice but to reveal it.
