You mean Obama wants people focused on the eligibility issue?
I am actually a bit wary of it, too, because I think Obama and co. might pull out a “real” birth certificate and documents “proving” the birthers to be stupid conspiracy theorists all along.
Of course he does. This is not a winning issue. Rightly or wrongly, people don’t care much and in my mind the issue was settled when the newspaper announcements came out during the campaign. Clearly, there was no reason for those to exist if he wasn’t born in Hawaii. The more we focus on this, the more we’ll be bludgeoned with it, the more Obama can use it as a distraction for his failings.
