Well....Obama released the long form birth certificate that all of you conservatives wanted to see..lets see who steps forward and says they were wrong....I don't expect anyone to do so and I am waiting to hear that its a forgery and that there is a conspiracy to cover up the fact that Obama was born elsewhere.....

Wow.
You claim victory because he showed something that he should have done in the begining?
Just, wow.
FYI I think the whole birther thing was a moronic waste of time, but just because he produces a BC doesnt take away from the fact that hes running this economy, and country along with it, into the ground. And that is a fact, not something that can be debated. The dollar is crumbling, prices on pretty much everything are skyrocketing, and hes not doing a damn thing except making epic speeches full of shit that we know he wont follow through on, and the choices and policies he supports are just causing the dollar to lose its value more, destroying the middle class, and making the gap between the rich and poor that much greater. Blocking oil drilling, while he used to say we need to rely less on foreign oil and more on our own, and now telling Brazil he wants to be their best customer. WTF?!
Obama is a fucking sham. Hes a liar, a fraud.

Late to the party and DEAD WRONG AS USUAL!!! I started a thread about the birth certificate EARLIER THIS MORNING!!
And, in case you missed it, I NEVER CLAIMED that Obama was not born in the United States. Neither you nor Obama have defeated SQUAT.
Trump forced Obama to quit ducking this issue, by putting the heat on him and ignoring the media slurpers and keeping up the pressure. That is how you take this goof of a president down: Get past the left-winged worshippers like YOU, that are in the media and get medieval on Mr. Hope-and-Change.

Nope. Never really cared about the BC stuff when there are a million and one better things to hit the God-King with. And for that matter, I don't know many conservatives who are, among other things, in favor of gay marriage and abortion, either. ::)
Andreisdadouche is obsessed with anyone who criticizes the failure in the White House.

Like using his left wing wackjob EPA to scare Shell Oil out of their 8 billion dollar (27 billion barrel) project in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska?
Or after his press conference today the most important thing he had to deal with was....jetting of to Chicago and going on the Oprah Winfrey show?
Or a 3 fundraiser tour in Chicago afterwards? Those important things?

This truely is becoming Jimmy Carter redux, Obama is the only other POTUS I can remember that just accepts and expects Americans to willingly lower their standard of living. I can still remember Carter getting on TV and talking about wearing a sweater to compensate for the cost of heating your house. Or the jackwagon pretending he was carry his own suitcase off AF1, until the fucking thing fell open and it was empty.

You claim victory because he showed something that he should have done in the begining?
Why SHOULD he?
The short form met the legal requirement.
outside of that, it's nothing more than a bunch of hatin' ass' mofo's making some shit up, right? Is he obligated to do something beyond what the law requires, just because someone doubts him?
No, he's not. So he "should" have? Nope.

so you buy that he released it now b/c it was a distraction 240?
it wasnt a distraction 2 years ago?
there werent more important things to deal with 2 years ago?

Three things to take from what transpired today:
1) Obama looks worse than Trump. It took a reality TV star/ real estate mogul berating Obama on TV for a month for him to release something that people have been asking about for 2+ years. Clearly, Trump rattled him into showing his hand. Think about it. All that BS for nothing+ Obama felt threatened enough to hold a press conference announcing the release. IMO the President once again came off as an amateur who couldn't give two shits about the American people and is more concerned about his popularity being overshadowed by a billionaire with bad hair.
2) Obama's strategy completely failed. IMO from day one Obama wanted a serious GOP contender in 2012 to jump all over the birther issue just so he could discredit them when the time was right. Unfortunately no serious GOP contender paid much attention to the issue so in more ways than one, Obama's secret weapon was a dud. Trump isn't running and nobody in the GOP gives a shit.
3) Obama clearly pays no attention to his responsibilities as POTUS. At his press conference, Obama said something to the effect that he has so many more important things to do as commander and chief than waste his time on the birther nonsense. So, right after the birther press conference that he called, he got on air force one with his hideous wife so he could tape Oprah Winfrey and later that evening go to a fund raiser. ::)
Gee, Im glad we put that silly birther nonsense to bed so you could make TV appearances and pass around the collection plate at another 30k dollar per ticket dinner to finance your reelection campaign.

Look at this post and then look at 240's typical pro-Obama trash. Easy to guess which poster in the asshole with their mouth attached to Obama's nutsack.
Cue the shitty 240 response. ::)

Oprah appearance and the fundraisers are so obscene it's not funny. I never remember anything like this so far from an election.

He has $1 billion to fleece out of poor Democrats. Got to get an early start when you're planning on stealing that much money.

The Cold hard truth of the matter is that in most people's eyes it's a total victory for Obama.
As a result we may have to endure another 4 years of this asshat.
So you Birthers or unadmitted Birthers go on and on feebly trying to spin this, but it is what it is and thank goodness it was That bafoon trump that will ultimately get associated with getting owned and not legitimate republican presidential candidates.

There it is.
Trump and others essentially made up LIES about obama. Spread them. So "how" and "when" obama responds to these lies is entirely up to him. I can call ozmo a name/accusation all day long. if and when he chooses to prove otherwise - if ever - is completely up to him.
Obama met the requirement by law to be president, long ago. I'm still a birther and believe it's fake - but perception is all that matters - and the perception here is that bithers are proven wrong.
-
LOL at ppl that thought he was a legit candidate in the first place
oz maybe you can answer since 240 seems to have misplaced his keyboard...
was this not a distraction 2 years ago?
where there not more important things to do 2 years ago?
I don't remember it being as much of a distraction two years ago but I could be wrong. But that's not the issue really because GOP, McCain etc. Did their research and were satisfied that Obama was legit.
The Birthers wouldn't let it go and it gained massive attnetion with Trump. The people here spinning this into Obama's fault is frankly pathetic. And then acting as if he should have supplied the long form to prevent attention to the Birther issue is stupid too. He provided a COLB. Good enough and even more good enough for people who actually researched it a little like myself.
And then look at 33333 making a huge issue out of it. For fuck sake, gas is 4$. Why haven't we been focusing on that? Yet we have had idiots like Trump beating the Birther drum, now the dumb ass ( trump) sounds like a cheap shade shoed politician on the level of Jesse Jackson.
I don't like Obama i am starting to hate him, but I don't like stupid arguments based on dumb shit even more.

LOL its been as big a deal now as it was 2 years ago...
look I dont care one way or the other b/c I never bought into it, but obama used this issue politically for two years then releases it b/c of mounting pressure and says "its become a distraction...we have more important things to deal with"
LMFAO nothings changed for two years but now its a distraction? NOW WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DEAL WITH?????
he should have released this shit 2 years ago to nip it in the bud instead of spending millions to try and keep it hidden.
-
It only was a distraction for obama since it was starting to work against him in the polls. Had it been helping him in the polls, he never would have released this.

The Press Conference We Didn’t GetSome things the President doesn’t want to talk about.
by John Hayward
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=43187
04/27/2011
President Obama held a press conference to announce the release of his birth certificate today, falsely claiming that this was important because obsession with the birth certificate was preventing adequate news coverage of his position on important issues. Here are some issues the President has not seen fit to hold a press conference to discuss:
The continuing collapse of his war in Libya. The siege of Misrata, which Obama demanded must stop immediately in an editorial he published in concert with British and French leaders, continues unabated. Obama has authorized $25 million in “non-lethal” assistance to a Libyan rebellion that appears to have non-lethality down to a science.
The brutal oppression of Syrian demonstrators, by a man the Obama Administration described as a “reformer” only a few weeks ago. The dissidents remain defiant, issuing a statement that if the dictator Assad “does not wish to be recorded in history as a leader of this transition period” to democracy, Syrians must “move forward along the same path as did the Tunisians, Egyptians, and Libyans before them.” They might want to reconsider following the Libyan path.
The worsening situation in Afghanistan, where an Afghan military pilot gunned down eight American soldiers and an American contractor today, and hundreds of captured Taliban fighters recently escaped in a bizarre prison break. The Associated Press reports “It was the seventh time so far this year that members of the Afghan security forces, or insurgents impersonating them, have killed coalition soldiers or members of the Afghan security forces.” Are we still on schedule to begin drawing down our forces in Afghanistan this summer?
The historic first-ever press conference held by the Federal Reserve, at which Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to announce the end of Obama’s “Qualitative Easing” monetary policy. This is an absolute vindication for critics such as Sarah Palin, who correctly pointed out the negative inflationary consequences of this policy at the time of its passage. Not long ago, it was said that every word spoken by the Fed chairman could send earthquakes rumbling through the markets. Now they’ll be holding more press conferences than the President does.
Skyrocketing gas prices, and the role of Administration policy in causing the problem. We do not need any staged witch hunts for “price gouging” profiteers. We need answers from Barack Obama, the man who caused this crisis as a matter of deliberate policy. Why are offshore drilling projects a mortal threat to the Earth that must be stopped at all costs in American waters, but a noble bid for prosperity worthy of American subsidies in Brazil? These policies should be listed, discussed, and defended before the American electorate.
The dire forecasts of Standard & Poor’s and the International Monetary Fund, which have predicted America could lose its AAA credit rating, and soon be surpassed as the world’s largest economy by China. Obama should explain why he tried to suppress the Standard & Poor’s report. If he had been successful, he would have deprived Americans of vitally needed information about the financial future of their country.
The Administration’s action against Boeing on behalf of labor unions, which former National Labor Relations Board chairman Peter Schaumber called “unprecedented.” Why is this unprecedented action, to block Boeing from opening a non-union production line in South Carolina, being taken? What freedoms do American corporations retain? Which companies will be next to find the federal government is teaming up with unions to control their business decisions? Schaumber told Fox News that if the union claim is upheld, “it could jeopardize any company with unionized workers that wants to expand in a right-to-work state.” Do the people who live in right-to-work states have any say in this?
Instead, we got a press conference about the release of Obama’s birth certificate. If that distracted you from the above matters, or other important stories I haven’t listed, the White House thanks you for your cooperation.

another bitter guy
I'm not bitter at all. The release of the BC in April 2011 means Osama can't hide behind it anymore and use it as a tool to demonize any GOP candidate going into the election in 2012. He wasted his secret weapon on Donald Trump. The ship has sailed and now he can be exclusively attacked on his record. With the BC out of the way, it should be a piece of cake to focus on real issues and expose Osama as the slimeball that he is.

Uh huh. Obama and his circus clowns loved the BC issue because it provided them with a broad brush to paint everyone with. It was a great distraction and misdirection just as the Rev. Wright stuff was.
That's gone now.
UH OH.

you are right..you did beat me to the punch in terms of starting your thread first....but the victory is still so sweet....all these nitwits proven wrong....I can see the bitterness piling up now
Victory for what? First, it was the Clinton voters that started this mess. Second, Trump never claimed that Obama wasn't born here. He asked Obama to produce the certificate to put this issue to an end.
Third, as George Whorewell said, this is all about the lefties trying to paint all of Obama's potential opponents as birthers, when they fire legitimate criticism about him and his policies. Trump did us all a great service. He forced Obama to put this issue to bed 18 months before the election.
And, that means (after the month or two of residual silliness about this issue), the GOP can POUND Obama about his abysmally poor performance.
Crying racist and blaming Bush will not save Obama in 2012. But, it won't be for lack of trying by his liberal minions.

LOL its been as big a deal now as it was 2 years ago...
look I dont care one way or the other b/c I never bought into it, but obama used this issue politically for two years then releases it b/c of mounting pressure and says "its become a distraction...we have more important things to deal with"
LMFAO nothings changed for two years but now its a distraction? NOW WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DEAL WITH?????
he should have released this shit 2 years ago to nip it in the bud instead of spending millions to try and keep it hidden.
I don't think it was the same level of distraction simply because 2 years we didn't have a prominent household name calling Obama out.
-
Dems think that birthers are embarrassed because Obama released the BC. It's actually the opposite, birthers couldn't be happier. It's a victory for the country when more people are confident that our President is a legitimate citizen.
-
There have been endleSs lawsuits, lies by gibbs, claims all along by bama that this thing was already released previously etc.

Obama didn't use this issue as you claim....the Republicans did..come on..tell the truth at least..you're getting as bad as 3333, Berzerk, and Kazan
-
Uh huh. Obama and his circus clowns loved the BC issue because it provided them with a broad brush to paint everyone with. It was a great distraction and misdirection just as the Rev. Wright stuff was.
That's gone now.
UH OH.
you are becoming a bigger dick than Berzerk fury....you know damn well Obama didn't bring all this shit up..it was republican nonsense that kept this going..admit that and stop all the bullshit
-
why don't you just delete your account???.....I can see you're hurting really bad on the inside :D
Your just another useless left wing jack wagon that is more concerned with getting one up on the man than the welfare of the country. Well done
-
Why SHOULD he?
The short form met the legal requirement.
outside of that, it's nothing more than a bunch of hatin' ass' mofo's making some shit up, right? Is he obligated to do something beyond what the law requires, just because someone doubts him?
No, he's not. So he "should" have? Nope.
Clearly I worded that wrong.
I was getting at, who the fuck cares about his goddamn BC when hes running the fucking country into the ground, and trying to cover it up, play the blame game, etc.
BUT, on the subject of the whole BC thing....
IMHO, a REAL leader would have put aside his personal rights and used the issue as a way to show the public that he is willing to sacrifice his privacy to gain the publics trust, and PROVE TO THEM beyond a SHADOW of a doubt that hes not only is legal to be in that office, but that he deserves it.
But he didnt. He used it as a way to POLARIZE the nation. He left it on the table and allowed it to sit there and cause turmoil and uncertaintly in HIS FELLOW CITIZENS, and used it to his advantage when the opportunity came up. That is NOT the signs of a great leader. That is the sign of an arrogant, pretentious bastard who looks at HIS FELLOW CITIZENS with contempt.
And thats constantly what I see when I listen to him talk or see his speeches. A pretentious, arrogant asshat who wont listen to anyone but his own ideals.
He doesnt look at you and I like were his fellow contrymen. You can see that he puts himself above the citizens. I dont know exactly what he thinks of course, but youd be foolish to say he looks at the citizens like were capable of deciding what we want for the future of our nation.
And thats what pisses me off. He truely believes his idealistic vision is right and that the people are wrong and incapable of choosing our own direction for our country.
He is not a leader. He is an arrogant man who believes his ideals are more important than the wellbeing of his fellow citizens who VOTED HIM IN TO REPRESENT THEM. Not for him to try and impose his idealistic ideas on our nation, even in the face of economic ruin.

Lack of birth control shows how lost prez is
By JOHN PODHORETZ
Posted: 2:09 AM, April 28, 2011
It would be bad enough to compare the Obama White House to the New York Mets of today -- but right now, the Obama White House would be lucky to be merely that bad. What it resembles most closely is the fabled rookie team that went 40-120 in 1962, the gaggle about whom Casey Stengel famously cried, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
I'm not talking about the wisdom or lack thereof Obama has shown on the ludicrous issue of his long-form birth certificate. One can assume that for a long time, the White House thought the issue wasn't really a problem, or even that the obsession over it in certain quarters was actually helping the president.
Now, however, it thinks the issue is hurting Obama, so it's trying to bring the controversy to an end by doing something it clearly could've done anytime over the past three years.
But that isn't what made yesterday such a disaster. What invoked the 1962 Mets was the White House staging of the birth certificate's release.
Did no one in the White House spend five seconds making sure there were no other events going on yesterday morning -- like, oh, say, Donald Trump taking a trip to New Hampshire with reporters hungry to follow him?
Since Trump was right there in front of the media's microphones talking about the birth certificate before Obama got to microphones in the White House, we were subjected to the dumbfounding sight of the press room at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. standing empty as the president found himself forced to wait out a reality-TV performer and real-estate brand-name sleazing slanderous nonsense about him and his college grades through the airwaves.
Finally, Obama must've had enough and came out to speak anyway. Then he began by complaining about how, if he had come to talk about foreign policy, the networks wouldn't have given him the time.
True -- but the reason the networks went live with his comments about his own birth certificate was that he had lowered himself to Donald Trump's level.
He is the president of the United States, for God's sake. And yet he allowed himself to become a supporting player in someone else's reality-TV show by whining about how he could only get the time of day from the broadcast gods by talking about his birth certificate.
Even more astonishing, he stepped on his own major news of the day, which involved the choice of David Petraeus to head the CIA.
Petraeus is arguably the most admired man in America, and his selection is exactly the sort of thing that can make a president look good. What doesn't make a president look good is when he seems to be in a war of words with a man with hair the consistency of cotton candy who fires Gary Busey and Omarosa on television's lowest-ranked network.
This is another in a string of events and speeches and appearances in which Obama acts in ways that make him smaller, pettier and less consequential than the office he is occupying.
Forget Casey Stengel. Julie Taymor would have done less damage to Obama if she had put the president up on wires and sent him sailing through the air during "Spider-Man" before her firing.
Those who hope for Obama's re-election have good reason to be alarmed at the way the sure-footed political instincts he showed in 2008 have so profoundly deserted him in the course of his presidency. Because that might lead to his firing at the hands of the electorate.

it wasnt a distraction 2 years ago?
no, it wasn't. but thank you for asking.

bitter bitter bitter
Awww...are you butt-hurt because you got caught making shit up...AGAIN? Tough getting slapped around like a bitch in your own thread, eh?
I know that differentiating (is that too big a word for you) amongst the various opinions requires a modicum of intelligence that you clearly lack. But, don't worry. Keep hanging out here on the political and your IQ might just go up ever so slightly (at least it might go over 65 - I'm an optimist).

Man, when I envision you trying to think about politics and such I get the picture in my head of a one-armed 5 year old child trying to recreate the Last Supper with crayons and glitter.
Listen closely, I have never said he brought the birth cert. issue up, it would have made zero sense for him to do so. It was something a bunch of people brought up and started some CT shit with. It was cool for a while as he could paint those people and anyone associated with them as lunatics. It also proved to be a great distraction from actual issues...just like the Rev. Wright thing and the Bill Ayers thing. It worked to his advantage and he could paint anyone associated with them, or anyone who even looked or sounded like they had a question about it as total crazies.
He was giving these people the rope to hang themselves with.
Now that he actually was pressured (By Trump and my polling data) to produce it he has lost that advantage. The people were proven wrong and the subject is now dead and buried. He has lost the distraction machine that it was, the topic is off the table. He and his complicit media attack dogs can't paint that group of people or other people, whether warranted or not, as nutjobs. It's over.
The clutter and distractions are now cleared away.
Get it?

I do get it...but what I don't like is people saying that Obama started this whole thing by not releasing his BC...he is under no obligation to do so.....it was used as a way to de-legitimize him since he is black.....NO WHITE PRESIDENT WOULD BE TREATED THIS WAY.....and you know that....if I asked you to prove you were born in the U,S, what would be your reaction?...I'm sure you would treat it as an insult and why would you give in to people who insult you in such a way......The FBI vets all persons who run for for office to make sure they are citizens, etc....are they in on a conspiracy as well???

no its not - his father was a communist pofs and womanizer. That rabid dog left more babies across the globe than anyone I have ever heard of. He was a communist, a marxist, a drunk, a womanizer, a cheater and liar, and piece of trash.
Like they say - apple does not fall far from the tree. And those dreams bama got from his father? Probably all wet dreams of banging woman and leaving kids all over the place.

I thought that was really the only possible legitimate area that could cause Obama problems.
Because the birthers talked too much about the Kenyan birth nonsense, I don't think most people are going to listen to them about the issues regarding his father's possible dual citizenship.

No way Beach. If an anti American and racist pastor, a close friend who was a domestic left wing terrorist, admitted drug use and the name "Barak Obama" wouldn't give him trouble, then his piece of trash Muslim father wouldn't either.
The media kisses his ass to no end. If it wasn't for Fox News nobody would criticize the man ever for anything. Not even Clinton was given such preferential treatment.

What conspiracy? Obama proved to "them" that he has an actual long form BC. End of story. Your response goes way beyond anything I said and actually has almost nothing to do with what I said. The game is over and now he can't use it as a distraction or as a brush to paint whoever he want's as a "crazy birther".

Both sides got their pound of flesh in this. on to Lybia, gas prices, inflation, jobs, etc - oh wait - discussion on the birther stuff seems a lot better now doesnt it?

You are one of the top birthers around here dude... Instead of focusing on the shit that really is going on... You're still talking about how fake his BC is and what not.
For every good post you have that makes sense, you have about 5 that are completely retarded.

True. The media is still infatuated with Obama. The video 33 posted the other day where the media actually tries to put high gas prices in a positive light really takes the cake.
-

I think it's too late. Their credibility has already been shot to pieces with the release of the BC. People are not going to listen.

Even though you are exaggerating again, lets just say for arguments sake that you are right about his father.....grifter, communist, womanizer,drunk, cheater,............and Obama...PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the greatest most powerful country ever to exist on Earth...
I would say the apple has fallen QUITE far from the tree...
and again you are resorting to personal attacks on Obama BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE...
Obama is president..he's black....get over it...MOVE ON!!!!!!

responding to you is a total waste of time...your mind must be tired from all the spinning you do to twist events so that they don't favor Obama.....all you do is blame the media and Obama..everything is their fault...maybe this gives you comfort since you are obviously mentally ill and can't distinguish truth from reality....but again..please keep it up..you are ssssssoooooooo funny!!!!

HA..Obama IS kicking your ass big time.....you just wasted three years worth of daily and continuous posts on the birther issue which was non-existent... Obama pulled the rug out from under you big time and you know it....now you gotta try to save face by attacking his father who has been dead for many years...

Trump and the Hunt for Red Obama
By Clarice Feldman
Before the last presidential election I ran into many people I had considered reasonably well-informed and educated, only to be surprised by the extent to which they had been utterly taken in by the obviously ghostwritten Obama hagiography and the media airbrushing of his background. It was scary. A first hand view of how easily manipulated public opinion is.
I was astonished that few of these people knew anything about Obama's failures in his one prior job -- getting the asbestos out of Altgeld Gardens -- and his singular executive endeavor, managing (at terrorist Bill Ayers' recommendation) millions of dollars from the Annenberg Foundation. Nor had they any notion of the thin record in support of the claim that he was truly brilliant. It was, to be blunt, enough that he was cool, black, had a degrees from Columbia and Harvard, talked the talk, and was a blank slate upon whom they could project all their fantasies of a highly intelligent, post-racial, post-partisan leader who would just fix up everything for them. (In case you missed the story of Obama the major media hid, Bill Whittle has nicely summarized it in this video.)
A few weeks ago Attorney General Holder petulantly backed off of the preposterous notion of trying terrorists in civilian criminal trials, the hallmark of this administration's New Deal for Jihadis. The Administration's Olympic level backstroking continued this week with the President's pissy, arrogant presser in which he finally released his long form birth certificate, something his staff and allies had earlier said had been burned, or was the Certificate of Live Birth the Daily Kos had posted, or didn't exist, or was impossible to obtain even by Obama. It turned out that all he had to do was ask, and the state of Hawaii provided it to his lawyer almost instantly.
This left people asking why he'd expended so many dollars, caused the Hawaiian officials and employees so much needless work, and embarrassed Mike Isikoff ,CNN , and others in the Obama media claque who'd been busy peddling the White House spin that Obama couldn't get the document Trump and others had been demanding to see. Why did he go through so much effort to conceal, why did it take what he called "sideshows and carnival barkers" to force him to provide a document all of us must present countless times in our own lives? I think because he's an obstinate egotist determined to control all information about himself. A juvenile jerk, in other words.
The most amusing account of the presser -- and there were many -- comes from the New York Times:
People are out of work, American soldiers are dying overseas and here were cameras to record him stating that he was born in a Hawaii hospital. It was particularly galling to us that it was in answer to a baseless attack with heavy racial undertones.
Mr. Obama practically begged the public to set aside these distractions, expressing hope that his gesture would end the "silliness" and allow a national debate about budget priorities. It won't, of course."
So, per the Times, this demand that the President reveal what the rest of us must -- and what his opponent McCain did -- was "silliness" and a "distraction." The Times never mentioned that immediately after dealing with this the President did not work on the "budget priorities." Instead he flew to Chicago with Michelle to joke around on Oprah's show and then off for some more fund raising for his 2012 re-election campaign. Schmoozing with Oprah and fund raising are obviously not silly distractions where the NYT is concerned,
If you asked me, I'd say the internal polls respecting this issue and public trust of the White House must be awful and forced his revelation. And given that he and his Chicago press allies forced the unsealing of court records of two of his earlier opponents -- Jack Ryan and Britt Hill, with potentially harmful consequence to innocents, I regard the president's implicit claim to privacy one of particular chutzpah.
Nor should we accept his defense that he did this because the "birthers" were proving a distraction. His own allies in the press, particularly MSNBC and CNN, were the folks who kept the issue alive in an effort -- pre Trump -- to embarrass his opponents and those who questioned his bona fides for office. No putative Republican candidate could appear on any television "news" show to present his views without being forced to disavow the birthers, often at the expense of presenting his own position on the issues. (Would that the press had treated the "truthers" who claimed the Bush administration was in on the 9/11 genocide of their own countrymen with even a fraction of the disdain shown those who asked for evidence of the president's right to hold office.)
Whether you think the revelation even at this late date is a plus for Obama, proving those who questioned his constitutional eligibility for office wrong, or a minus, indicating that a blowhard like Trump was able to force the President off his narcissistic insistence that he alone should dispense to the public what he chose to of his background, the claim that those who were dubious of his eligibility were motivated by racism was uncalled for and I think the last sad play of the race card that Obama's operatives and press toadies can play unless the current batch of Republican office holders and candidates allow this game to continue unchallenged.
As James Taranto observed:
The Washington Post reports that professional attention grabber Donald Trump responded to the White House release yesterday by raising "new questions":
"The word is, according to what I've read, is that he was a terrible student when he went [to] Occidental. He then gets to Columbia. He then gets to Harvard," Trump said. "I heard at Columbia he wasn't a very good student. He then gets to Harvard. How do you get into Harvard if you're not a good student?"
Obama, a former constitutional law professor and the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, is widely recognized as an intellectual heavyweight.
As an aside, that last sentence epitomizes what drives conservatives crazy--sometimes, alas, actually crazy--about the formerly mainstream media. Obama "is widely recognized as an intellectual heavyweight"? If they said this about Woodrow Wilson or Daniel Patrick Moynihan, we'd probably agree, but even then, it's more a statement of opinion than fact.
At any rate, according to Obama supporters, Trump's rhetorical question was racist. "That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black," CBS's Bob Schieffer said. "This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing."
Politico quotes another Obama pal likewise:
"Trump and the rest have played a very divisive card from the fact of his birth to now implying that he got into two Ivy League schools . . . by affirmative action, which clearly brings race into the matter," said the Rev. Al Sharpton. "It certainly enrages a lot of African-American voters, Latino voters and progressive whites that feel that this is the most divisive, polarizing tactic."
As Mickey Kaus notes, "Obama himself, while at Harvard, wrote that he had 'undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action.' " And you'd think that people who support both Obama and racial preferences would proudly cite the former as evidence of the latter's success, rather than getting defensive and angry whenever anyone even indirectly broaches the topic.
But it's the last sentence of the Sharpton quote that gives away the game. All this race talk is aimed at angering blacks and shaming whites into voting for Obama next year, whatever doubts they may have about his policies or his leadership.
Any opponent who runs against Obama and doesn't demand an end to this race baiting is a fool. I believe the voters see through it, and find it unpersuasive and needlessly divisive. They ought to call on him to insist his supporters stop it.
In fact, perhaps it's time to examine Obama's educational record and the role affirmative action played in it -- something as Mickey Kaus observes, he has admitted.
Trump has now demanded to see the transcripts of the man the Post calls an "intellectual heavyweight."
Was he the kind of heavyweight that Adlai Stevenson, who flunked out of Harvard Law School, was billed as when he ran against Dwight Eisenhower the "dummy," whose only claim to higher office was that he led the Allied troops to victory in Europe? Was he the sort of intellectual heavyweight that Al Gore and John Kerry the press touted until their records were revealed?
Ace of Spades reviews the records we do have of the "intellectual heavyweight" and it seems he probably has only a slightly above average I.Q. --probably 116. How big a thumb was on the academic scale of this part black man with the exotic life history, the sort of applicant college admission officers love? Don't doubt me on this. Your kid could take nothing but A.P. courses and ace every one of them, be the valedictorian of his class and an outstanding person in every possible way, but the admission officers at the most selective school might well pass him by for a minority kid with far worse academic achievements under his belt, particularly if his parents (unlike you) abandoned him. The exotic fillip of an African and then an Indonesian father would also help.
Of course, all the evidence is circumstantial; Valerie Jarrett says the president will not release his academic records. But the circumstantial evidence by this time has grown. Ask yourself -- better yet ask those who voted for him -- what evidence in his presidency or in the Senate can you provide of his vaunted genius?
Was it jumping into the war in Libya?
Caving in to Trump's challenge?
Leaving Pelosi and Reid in charge of ObamaCare ‘s drafting and passage?
Was it "leading from behind" as an unnamed Obama aide described of the president's saying that Gaddafi has to go and then making it clear he wouldn't do anything much to make that happen?
Was it pushing out Mubarak without consulting with our Middle Eastern allies or even knowing who would take his place?
Was it his insistence on Israel coming to peace terms with those who refuse to concede her right to exist?
Was it shoveling out trillions of dollars on "shovel ready jobs" that didn't exist?
Was it yanking out General Petraeus from the field just as the war is about to really heat up and putting him in charge of the truly ungovernable CIA?
Was it naming Leon Panetta, a hack, as his Secretary of Defense to oversee the department, which is now involved in three wars and faces the challenges of an increasingly unstable Middle East?
Is it his operating style in which he "is a consensus-seeker whose decision making style rewards polarization and a conciliator who loses friends without winning over enemies"? (source)
*** Maybe they can find what I cannot -- proof of superior intelligence. I know Dana Milbank tried. After consultation with "experts" he concludes that Obama might be too complex and rational for us:
Obama's strengths and weaknesses come from his high degree of "integrative complexity" -- his ability to keep multiple variables and trade-offs in mind simultaneously. The integratively simple thinker -- say, George W. Bush -- has one universal organizing principle that dominates all others, while the integratively complex thinker -- Obama -- balances many competing goals.
Too complex and rational is not how I'd rate him. I'd say confused, lacking executive skills and lazy. I do think, however, that the dam has been broken and we are going to continue to learn a great deal more about the President and his true background than we have to date. (see this)
On the other hand Milbank might just have written a subtle insult to the intelligence of the Post editors and readers.

What a disastrous week this has been for 3333....Obama releases his birth certificate thus rendering nearly three long years of his posts as irrelevant and exposes them as inaccurate and unsubstantiated...then Obama gets Osama Bin Laden....thus debunking 3333's claims that he is a bad president......
WHAT MORE CAN GO WRONG FOR 3333????..looks like I am going to have many more "ass-kicking threads" for the foreseeable future!!! :D
Obama and I are going to eventually run 3333 away from this forum entirely..he'll have to go post at muscle development with the other fags over there ;)
