I dont believe that any moe than you do.
He certainly isnt hiding his birth certificate just to anger people who wish to see it.
The only to people who claim to have actually sen the document are the Governor of hawaii and th keepr of their records and both have just admitted to seeing it, Neither makes a statement as to it’s contents.
Also IMo (which doesnt mean much) He DOESNT have a right to hide his certificate. It is , or should be , a part of his records to prove he is eligible for the Presidency. The American people of which I am one, have a right to see that proof.
I see it like this: He has the media, everyone on the left and everyone in the middle on his side on this issue.
One of the best tools when dealing with a adversary is to ruin there credibility.... make the other side look bad. His staunchest enemies are people on the far right. He needs to make them look bad. Right now, the media is painting all birthers as loony conspiratists. This is a good thing for him.
If he shows his birth certificate to you, (rightfully, he doesn't have to) then its over. So for now, I think he knows that he is eligible, so he keeps the story going.
Face it, he has the resources if he wanted to fake it.
Its just like law..... he doesn't have to prove his innocence. You have to prove his guilt.
