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.
