“Maybe I am naive about the innerworkings of the military, but this seems like it has the potential to snowball downhill quickly on Obama.”

It depends on the spin. Since nobody in the MSM takes the birther issue seriously, and neither do most conservative pundits, such as BOR, Beck, Coulter, etc., there seems to be no place for any negative spin to come from. Some blogsites and a few right-wing type radio hosts will come out in support of Lakin, but that will probably engender more reaction from the pro-Obama folks, than extra support for the birthers.

Plus, this is an election year and as we get closer to November, I predict birthers will come under more attacks from the GOP, the Tea Party, and conservatives all who will be trying to distance themselves from the movement.

As a result, the Lakin thing will probably work out to Obama’s benefit.

parsy, who asks why did the wolf chase the rabbit?

Since nobody in the MSM takes the birther issue seriously ...

Everyone within the MSM assumed THIS was an UNDENIABLE TRUTH, too ...

... until shown otherwise by someone who "got inside" to prove that there was INDEED a Conspiracy. Many still DENY what has been verified by those who oversee those responsible for the cover-up.

Many doubts exist about Obama's Eligibility as well. Unless another person leaks what ALL (but the Flat Earthers here) believe, the only way to get to the REAL Truth is Discovery by an Injured Plaintiff in a suit that also has Causation and Redressability.
