Reply To: Your Dream-Ticket for 2012

Dovid Hamelech,

At last. I am elated that the President has finally tackled this non-issue that will finally fade away to enable serious GOP candidates to focus on policy. Hopefully, along with the demise of the “Birthers” will we at least see the death of Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions. I, of course didn’t pretend to say that the fact that Obama was born here is fraudulent — I meant the issue of his birth certificate and as a swipe on The Donald. Although I questioned Obama’s judgement in hiding his birth certificate from the public thereby spending millions in defense, I believed that he was born in America as I’ve stated many times.

I do wonder why they chose to release his certificate now. If I were the Obama reelection campaign, I wouldv’e waited to be challenged in the General Election on this issue (if a Birther would win the GOP nomination and stress on this issue) to derail the Republican’s chances to beat Obama. I honestly question their judgement as its release will guarantee the focus on pressing issues such as the outragous debt, rising gas prices, threats of stagflation and the foreign policy failures of their administration.
