So What Happens *If* Obama Wasn't Born In The United States?

[Turin39789]

If he shows his long form, and once it's verified as a true copy, there simply won't be much more to talk about. As it stands now it's frequently on news broadcasts, even Lefties like Chris Matthews have wondered publicly why Obama doesn't just produce it.

Once it's shown there simply won't be much more to talk about on the mainstream news programs (other than perhaps polls showing some % still doesn't believe). I think any continuing talk will be confined to conspiracy type spam emails and birther sites like wnd.

Edit: It would also take the Trumps out of the picture.

Lol. What picture exactly is the Trumps in?

It's already confined to conspiracy type spam emails and birther sites.

Oh and of course ATPN, for some reason it isn't recognized in here that

this thread needs to be moved to OT. Its not news and its not politics....its farce and fabrication..

What I find so odd about all this is that if Obama wanted to stop the debate he has more than enough resources at his disposal to create a birth certificate so authentic that nobody could deny it. The CIA does things like this every day.

It's more about the fact that even if McCain had won and some on the left believed he wasn't a citizen, it would gain no where near the traction that it has with the right. I certainly doubt we'd have presidential candidates commenting on it.

Perhaps, but that is speculation.

I'm inclined to think that Obama's refusal to post his long form is Democrat strategery, since he also refused to release any of his educational records which were his only real qualification above the bare minimum required standards and his ability to read TelePrompters. Consider that the French-looking John Kerry (who by the way served in Vietnam) refused to release his military records even though people I trust said they went through them and there is nothing damaging there. By refusing to release something that can't possibly hurt him Obama manages to keep a lot of opposition energy focused on something that even if unearthed can cause no damage.

Because there's no "there" there, at all.

No wonder Republican leaders are so smug- they see us all as birthers, easily manipulated, gullible believers in the goodness of trickledown economics and the divine right of capital.

Bread and circuses, and damned little bread.
