I beg to differ...

Some people think President Obama's release of his full birth certificate last week represents unconscionable dithering in the face of a smear campaign.

To me, sitting back and doing nothing for a prolonged period did nothing but good for the President. It drew out the crazies onto what is a loser issue for them, and even furnished the tea partei right with a perfectly useless leader one Donald Trump.
This would be the same Donald Trump whose negatives are only slightly below that of infectious anthrax. Shit if I was President Obama I'd a held off releasing his birth certificate until the eve of the New Hampshire Primary.
By then the whole sick crazy GOP presidential stew would be boiling over, imagine the sort of hilarious inarticulate blather Mitt Romney would have emitted when cornered and asked if he thought the document was genuine?
Santorum, Gingrich, Trump, Romney, Bachmann and Pawlenty would have all been forced to express and defend an opinion about a topic about which the tea partei base of the GOP is not rational...advantage Obama sez Humble Elias.
True to form, Trump immediately and arrogantly claimed victory and went off shrieking obscenities at the Chinese...Class all the way Donald, Class all the way.
As it is President Obama has shown up the birther right's reckless obsession with trivial nonsense and made Donald Trump (a man with a shorter fuse than Bob Dole and shorter attention span than Sarah Palin if that is possible) his main interlocutor.
The birther smear is not sustainable, it only highlights the craziness & craveness of the President's key GOP opponents.
