Can you believe it? President Obama
released the long form birth certificate yesterday morning,
and it isn't over. There still people who don't believe the released birth certificate is real. Apparently if you have Adobe Acrobat and look at the PDF of the long form certificate and right click, with your left foot off the ground, while chewing on a Ritz Cracker and whistling the theme song from the old Barney Miller TV show, the birth certificate will reveal that the real Paul McCartney was killed in a car accent in 1968 and for the past 43 years we have been rocking to Wayne Newton's unknown brother Fig.
Of course, Donald Trump took all the credit,
“I am really honored and I am really proud, that I was able to do something that nobody else could do,” Of course he forgot to mention the fact that two days before he told Anderson Cooper that a believable source who he could not name told him that the birth certificate was missing. I guess it got "un-missing" Mr. Trump.
And like the person who wins the lottery but complains that his take was only a few hundred million Trump isn't done. In his next breath, Trump declared that Obama needs to release his Occidental College school records, to dispel rumors that he was a bad student who did not deserve a transfer to Columbia University,or his acceptance to Harvard Law School.
“How do you get into Harvard if you are not a good student?” Trump said. “I don’t know why he doesn’t release his records.”
Oh Puleeze. Who Gives a flying Frisbee!
This nonsense is a losing issue that will do nothing but alienate the moderate voters who are needed to beat Obama in the 2012 election. That is the
objective--Nobama!
But I want everyone to know that I can compromise, I am willing to join the side of the tin-foil hat crowd, but only after we are done bashing the president on the following real issues (in no particular order) which have a much more urgent priority:
- Obamacare
- Drill Here Drill Now
- High Taxes
- High Deficit
- Gun Control
- Unemployment
- China our arses
- Oil Prices are too high
- Lousy Relationship With Europe
- Appeasing Terrorists

These are the first fifty that come to mind, given the time I could come up with another 50 at least (I thought of another ten in the two minutes since I stopped listing), but it is getting close to dinner and I am pretty hungry.
The point is that some of the above are very important, some are not so important, but all of them are more important than the birther, education or any of the tin foil hat issues. All of them are more likely to sway voters away from supporting Obama than the tin foil hat issues.
So if you don't believe that the birth certificate is real, or you think he lied about his education fine. But realize that what you are really saying is that you do not want Barack Obama to be President. The best way to make that happen is to pick out one of the real issues above, or the other fifty real issues that come to mind, anything but these silly distractions.
I understand that you may believe that this is an issue of constitutionality, honesty, morality or even chastity but we need to keep our eyes on the believable issues to win the real prize, a new President in 2012.
UPDATE: Some people are claiming that the fact that you can take today's birth certificate and split it into layers using Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat means its fake.
