It takes time to "mock" it up. I'm not falling for this desperate white house ruse.

That is a pretty good question. Anyone know the answer?

The feeling I have today is very similar to the feeling I had when Arrested Development was canceled.
I'm thankful for the gift of some of the greatest comedy I've ever known, and I'm hopeful that many of the key players will continue to make me laugh for many, many years to come. But I'm still saddened by the loss, and I know deep down it will never be the same.

My guess is because it's very amusing watching idiots act like, well...idiots.

Hmm, the White House does spend a lot of time watching idiots. This makes sense.

Isn't this the same birth certificate he released 3 years ago?

I'm sure some will still hold out hope...but to disagree now would just seem pathetic.

Maybe because only borderline whackos really took this seriously?

Because you do not argue with fools or dignify such bull#### with an answer. I guess because it has become a more mainstream story of late and given wackos a voice, he wanted to stop it now. Maybe it prevents the crazies from becoming galvanized and voting.

TERRIBLE timing by Obama. The perfect time to do this would have been the late summer of 2012, as the Republican candidates were bashing him left-and-right over the birth certificate. He could have unveiled the birth certificate DURING one of the debates, catching the Republicans off guard, rendering them speechless, making them look like total fools, and ultimately sealing the election. Instead, he has given them A YEAR to come up with more reasons to question him. Instead of the campaign being dominated by "Where is your birth certificate", it will now be dominated by "Why did you wait so long?"
Obama just lost the 2012 election. The birth certificate was his trump card (pun intended).

You aren't insinuating that jon_mx is a whacko, are you?

And if you don't think today was chosen to release the birth certificate (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow ) as a way to take media attention and political talk away from today's Fed press conference which is more vital to the Health of the Nation, then you're also an idiot.

Thanks to Trump for taking this issue off of the table well ahead of November 2012

Becasue the one he released is a perfectly legal document and the same one you would get if you were born in Hawaii. This was an exception to the rules in place to issue the long form.

A Constitution requirement of being president is being a citizen. The issue was raised first by Hillary Clinton, so this is not a Republican issue. Rather is an issue of whether he is a citizen of the USA. The press had no problem going after John McCain on the same issue. An executive interviewing to be CEO of a small company gets more scrutiny than did Obama being President for the USA. So the question is legitimate. What is not legitimate is that he waited 2 1/2 years to release this document. Something smells to high heaven. I believe he was born in Hawaii and the issue is not that big a deal. What is a big deal is that this looks like a cover up and the press covered for him. That the press is in bed with Obama. So why now. This could have been put to bed a long time ago?

And that's where I disagee with himWhackos are citizens too, and the request for this document wasn't totally unreasonable. glad it's over

At this point, I think Obama is the only president whose place of birth has been 100% confirmed. I wish Obama didn't give in. I don't think the Tea Partiers realize how offensive it really is to push the first black/muslim president to do that.'jon_mx said:

How exactly did the press cover for him? They ran the stories, they gave press time to wackos ... what else should they have done?

LOL Fox News. "Mounting Questions". "National Political Debate". "Discussed Regularly".
And I have yet to hear from the Birthers say that they are sorry that they questioned the President of the United States on where he was born. I think after all the crap you have said that turned out to be false.. a Simple I was wrong and I am sorry is the right thing to say.

Because it gave folks like you, jon_mx, et al a megaphone to identify yourselves.

The issue has not been a big issue for me. Like everyone else is stating there are more important issues on the table. That being stated, by and large the left wing media is the one fueling issue. Why is that? One reason is that they wanted to paint the right wing as extremist and this looks like like an extremist issue. So the right wing, by and large have been trying to put this to bed (Fox and Ann Colter especially.) The left is not trying to put it bed, they are obsessed with this issue like they are with Sara Palin. It gives them something to talk about rather than the pathetic job Obama has done with the economy and foreign affairs.

Blame it on law school training (I know, I know, he still hasn't proven he actually went to law school). When the other side is focusing all its attention and all its capital on something you can destroy in a matter of seconds, you let them do it. Let them firmly establish their position, and encourage them to state it several times so there can be no going back. Make sure all of the wackos are out in the open, ranting about how sure they are you're hiding something, then smash all their credibility at one time. Now that we've started the 2012 campaigning, and the wackos have all taken their positions, let them have it. The next time any of them are "sure" of anything, in any speech or debate, just remind everyone in the country how sure that same candidate was that he wasn't born in Hawaii.

They ran with false information coming from state officials without any critical analysis for one

Wow. Who knew Jon MX, Trump, RedState.com etc were the left wing?

Trump is the candidate who has taken a position on this, and now he's declaring victory

Again....free comedy. That and we are actually at war as a country, job situation is bleak and so is the economy. Yes, the President releasing proof of his birth again should be above all that.

Trump is right wing like Schwarzenegger is right wing. I can't comment on either Jon or red state.

Of course he is--while Bill Cosby and everyone else are laughing at him.

lol.First, this couldn't be further from the truth. The Right has been hitting at this non-stop. Go and read those comments on Fox News. Many still don't believe it. Look at the Donald Trump birther campaign. You really think it's the left promoting this? Your conspiracy theory might be worse than the birthers'.Second, regarding this and Palin -- the only similarity I see is that both times many Righties thought they hit a home run. Both came crashing down hard.

So pissed that Obama cancelled Arrested Development. 
Eric Cantor on Fox: "I'm surprised the White House is addressing this issue - we have far more important things to focus on."
Fox News is WAY funnier than Comedy Central.Similar threads
