The release of President Obamas so-called long form birth certificate may convince a lot of straddlers on the issue that indeed, the president is eligible to be, well, president. But the surprise release by the White House of a document that conclusively proves that the president of the United States was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, at 7:24 PM local time isnt satisfying those whose standards of proof lie in the ethereal world of religious revelation rather than the more mundane plane of existence where facts and logic dominate.
For the true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool, never-say-never birthers, the only thing that will apparently convince them of the provenance of Obamas birth is a document that tells them exactly what they believe that the president wasnt born here and is therefore ineligible to hold office. Any evidence to the contrary is dismissed as fake or forged, or is simply ignored as not worthy of their attention.
To wit: When confronted with irrefutable proof that you have been wrong all along, concentrate on minutiae that, at least in your own mind, can keep the theory alive. Heres a comment from Roger L. Simons Teachable Moment post on the Tatler:

Then explain how this guy is wrong. Point by point...
I think for myself, and scrutinize the world around me...I’m not laughing, I don’t give a runny crap what the majority thinks, and the lefties are not, and never have been, my friends!
Go ahead and posture yourself as looking “for the facts”...just be ready to admit that as concerns this topic and its pursuit, you can’t polish a turd, or pick it up from the clean end.
Remember, the birther controversy ORIGINATED with the left wing partisans...emanating from Hitlery and her supporters - which unlike a lot of other contentions, is provable.
Roll very far into this terrain, and the stink will not soon be removed...
