He's saying that there are far more important issues than Obama's birth certificate, and he is quite correct. It matters much to his constituency if he wants to get elected.
How Buck should have handled it. Something like this.
Buck to the person and/or Democrat operative: Obama should be forthcoming about his eligibility as it matter much to the American public.
Give a statement or two and move to other pressing issues.
Anybody who thinks that headlining the BC issue is anything other than a sure-fire method for joining the whackadoodle gallery really is a dumbass.
It wouldn't be much of a headline but to the numskulls who watch PMSNBC who are the 'whackadoodle gallery' of 'dumbasses' headed by these clowns.
Buck to the person and/or Democrat operative: Obama should be forthcoming about his eligibility as it matter much to the American public. Buck knows that birthers are not a rational crowd, and they're widely understood as being not rational. For Buck even to say something like that would make him a "birther" to the general public, and ruin whatever chance he may have had.
And, to be brutally frank, the issue doesn't matter much to the American public -- it really only matters much to a group of folks who will grasp at any straw to get rid of Obama.
