Crazy "Birthers"

This morning Obama released the long form of his birth certificate stating that he was born in Hawaii.

Obama said in a brief appearance before the cameras Wednesday morning that he decided on the release because the conspiracy theory over where he was born had taken over the debate on the budget.
“We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” Obama told reporters. “I’ve got better stuff to do.”

Obama said that while the parties debate their fiscal policies, people can’t be “making stuff up” and providing “sideshows and carnival barkers.”

So I am personally confused as to why it took three years and over $2 million in taxpayer money to defend Obama's releasing of his birth certificate to come down to such an anti-climatic release and press conference.  Could it be that Obama wanted a distraction?  Could it be that he wanted to release the birth certificate during his re-election campaign in order to prove his opponents were "crazies"? Or could it be that he is such a ego maniac that he simply wanted to control everything and liked having all the "little" people debate over such a "silly" issue?  I don't know.

What I am not confused about is this.  Obama is not the unifier that he said he was.  He is not post-partisan as he said he was.  He is not post-racial as he said he was.  He has not provided hope.  And the change he has provided has been horrific for America and our future.  The birth certificate issue was politically good for Obama in that it did provide distractions from his failed policies.  But once the polls started to show this issue was not good politically for Obama any longer, his "game" had to end prematurely.

So what's next?  I am curious about his grades at Columbia.  The Statist, Liberal media tell us how brilliant and wise and intelligent this man is.  I say prove it.  Just like all the other presidents have done the last 50 years.

P.S.  The Obama "birth certificate" press conference today may be a huge "shell game".  Today, Ben Bernanke is holding the first press conference in 98 years of a Fed Chair and I predict he will start to let us down slowly regarding interest rates.  Something that could plunge Wall Street drastically.
