Obama Birth Certificate

       To demonstrate his equanimity, Obama will also likely make a joke during those remarks about the silly birther issue, which will make him seem like a good-natured victim of these superficial clowns who've been chasing him to do what he well knew all along they would want him to do lo these many months.

       Earlier today, after years of enduring conspiracy theories claiming he wasn't actually born in Hawaii and therefore wasn't eligible to be president, President Obama released his official, long-form birth certificate, arguing that "We do not have time for this kind of silliness" amidst the nation's real problems.

       Donald Trump responded by saying that Obama should have done this long ago (despite the fact that Obama did release the so-called "certificate of live birth" — also an official birth record — in 2008) and lavishing praise on himself for precipitating this event, while rabid birther Orly Tatiz seems surprisingly mollified, though she still has profound doubts about Obama's background. I suppose its noteworthy that folks like Taitz (who truly earned her "queen of the birthers" nickname) are taking the birth certificate at face value. In an obvious attempt to keep the goofy issue alive a bit longer, President Obama finally released the long-form version of his birth certificate today.

        Rather than simply post it on the White House website, Obama took six minutes of presidential time to visit the White House briefing room, where all the important media folks hang out waiting for their next important broadcast messenger assignment. President Obama said he knows the release will not put this issue six-feet under for some birther diehards, who probably haven't a clue where their own is. 

Thank goodness, this fellow is patient with his people.
