That possible reason is that the WH can use the issue itself to marginalize his opposition and paint them all as kooks as a means of providing effective cover for an agenda far more damaging than having a guy with a foreign-born father in the oval office. Straight out of the Alinsky playbook, yall.
It's become impossible not to notice that this issue bursts through the background chatter in the MSM every time BO & the agenda he's trying to push through while he still can gets in trouble. He could end this issue right now by presenting his BC to the Supreme Court if he wants - but he doesn't because it's far more valuable to him if he keeps it concealed. Check out the front page news on FR & count how many articles are on this issue as opposed to nationalized health care. It's working, even here.
Ann Coulter & the National Review would I'm sure agree that a huge flaw in our system has been exposed by the WH's shenanigans on his BC. We don't seem to have a mechanism in place to ensure requirements by candidates for & winners of the office are met. But they understand that this issue is being exploited by Axelrod & Company RIGHT NOW to deflect attention from the really damaging stuff they're trying to accomplish here. Ross Perot used to call this tactic "gorilla dust" - gorillas kick up dust into their opponents' eyes in order to divert attention from what they're really doing. THERE is your conspiracy, freepers: right under your noses.
Barack Obama isn't going anywhere. He could completely remake the US system & our very way of life while we're all obsessing about long form BC's & the meaning of "natural born" & obscure comments by BO's relatives and all of these other wastes of bandwidth which are ultimately inconsequential things. Ann Coulter & the National Review & others who are now considered RINOs around here (& just who isn't these days?lol) want you to keep your eyes on the REAL ball, people, not on the BO WH's own cynically generated gorilla dust.
I would say one way to clear this up is the movement started in a number of states where any candidate for President must prove his natural born citizenship in order for him to receive any votes. If that is done, Obama will have to prove to all the states that he is a natural born citizen before the 2012 election.

I disagree - I don’t obsess on this topic. But I think it’s legit - as opposed to Coulter and the National Review (which didn’t fact check their own article.)
I’m also VERY active in opposing socialism on all the other fronts...
I think having this issue alive, casts doubts on the transparency of Obama, and his idealistic followers are forced to defend that, instead of promoting his agenda. If you ask me, we are actually using their dumb Alinsky rulebook, in reverse...if you ask me.
I’m open to hearing another side of this.
At this point I don't give a rats rear end about Hussein's BC, because even if these birther's suspicions are right, which they're not, they have to be living in a fantasy world if they think the Democrat controlled congress and the Obama worshiping media are going to be clamoring for Obama's impeachment. Can you honestly see Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid spearheading impeachment hearings to get to the truth about Obama's BC? I sure don't
We went down that road with Slick Willy and we got burned badly because the media was in the tank for Clinton, as they are for Obama, and they were able to paint Republicans and Ken Star as a bunch of self righteous pricks who wanted Clinton impeached over sex. If we couldn't get Clinton removed for lying to congress we sure as hell won't get Obama impeached over this birth certificate crap.
I want to see Obama's agenda fail, and want to see him and his merry band of socialist thieves run out of D.C. in 2010 and 2012 as much as the birthers do, but I'm afraid all this BC crap could hurt our chances of retaking congress and the White House, and sending Obama back to the slums of Chicago where he belongs.
And to all the birthers who will call me a RINO after reading my post, I'd rather be a RINO than a tin foil hat wearing loser who can't see the forest through the trees.
