The great un-discussed concern in this whole “birther” thing is: what if he IS eligible? what if, having whipped his opponents into a mass frenzy and driven the whole thing to the Supreme Court, he _does_ pull out the original and prove perfect eligibility?
Methinks Sun Tzu wrote something about winning by making enemies expend enormous resources pursuing a tantalizing but worthless/hopeless/unwinnable goal...
Frankly (and having spent not a lot of time on it) I’m looking at these photos thinking that it’s looking like he _is_ eligible, that there _is_ a BC. Maybe there is something embarassing on it, or maybe he’s just playing games. A lot of the numbers on these nearly adjacent BCs reasonably line up with what’s on FactCheck’s high-res photos. So far it seems these new BCs don’t look politically suspicious.
It’s gonna REALLY suck if the birthers are proven wrong. It would cost the Right a whole lotta political capital.

You could be right.
But I have been commenting on this Obama birth certificate issue on the internet since last April/May 2008, and I am starting to seriously believe that Obama's problems could be that he was adopted by his Indonesian citizen stepfather Soetoro and/or there is no doctor's signature on his 1961 long form birth certificate.
