What I'm still scratching my head about is, why did Obama send his lawyer to Honolulu to courier the document back to the White House? I mean, there's Federal Express! Hell, there's even the USPS! How many dollars an hour do they charge?
But of course I lack the reptilian brain of a Chicago community organizer. Obama knows he can prove what he needs to prove if push ever comes to shove. Meanwhile, time for some head games.
If he had actually wanted to end the birther thing last year, he could simply have asked the Hawaii Department of Health to post the damn document on their website. Then he could have announced the URL at his little press conference and proudly displayed the hi-res image on one of his 200-pound air conditioned outdoor teleprompter monitors.
I don't know whether he could prove what he needs to prove or not. About the only thing that could prove it would be an original Hawaii birth certificate from 1961, examined by several real document experts and put online for all to see and assess.
I used to post the Hawaii department website where people could obtain certified copies of their original BC for $10.00. But Barry sure never took that route and all the dissembling since has created a situation where many will be very difficult to convince. And I'm not waiting for any true original to emerge from the Hawaii state records.
