Can we just stop with the forgery crap? We have a Hugo Chavez wannabe for president. THAT is what’s important, not this birther nonsense. You all got what you wanted. He’s released the long form. Give it a rest!This has become a full fledged conspiracy theory and as such will never fully go away no matter how sufficient the evidence is that Obama was born in Hawaii. Birthers wanted the long form and now they've got it, next they will be claiming it is fake. No matter what you show the die-hard birthers, they will never accept they were wrong. They will just go on building the conspiracy into an ever greater web of intrigue.
It's the nature of conspiracy theories. People become emotionally invested in them and can't let go. They become obsessed and believe their pet conspiracy is the single biggest issue going. Just be glad the conspiracy types on our side are harmless. Asking for birth records is really no big deal. The left on the other hand have a much more hateful and vicious group of conspiracy theorists, the truthers, who accuse President Bush and our own government of murdering thousands and thousands of our own people on 9-11.

This is a digitally manipulated image, that combines alleged 1961 typing and signatures with a 21st Century digital background. Nothing more. Nothing less.
This is a computer geek work product that shows exactly what the computer geek was told to show.
Using digitally manipulated images to settle a debate is as useful as using digitally manipulated images to answer the question, "Does that dress make that gal look fat?"
See Post 128.
The "long-form" is still hidden.
Although only 25% of America is "Birther", America is getting pretty tired of the "Hiders".
This issue is not going to go away so you and I have to deal with it.
I deal with it exactly the same way that Trump deals with it. I became an "Asker" and keep asking, again and again:
1.) Why won't President Obama simply end this circus by releasing the long-form document?
2.) "What is President Obama hiding and why is he hiding it?"

That's true. It's also true that people CAN change their minds based on the new evidence. Those invested in it - take a deep breath, look with open mind. There were questions about what hospital - settled. Questions about the doctor - settled. Question about why "African" was on the COLB - settled, it was on the original BC document. Question about the parents, names and their place of birth - settled. No, they werent hiding "Frank Davis MarshalL" as the Dad.
I want to thank Donald Trump for causing this to get out there now. My fear was that the Obama campaign would wait for October 2012 to pull this stunt, hurting the GOP in the election and distracting from what will get OBama defeated - deficits, bad leadership and lousy economic performance. Getting this out of the way NOW should enable us to get to the real issues.
