I really worry that this could backfire. Think about how well the Lefties have marginalized doubts about Obama’s birthplace. They’ve been so successful labeling and deriding people as “birthers” that the average voter out there thinks it’s simply ridiculous that Obama might not be eligible and anyone who thinks otherwise is some tin foil hat crazy.

If the Obama campaign can do the same with this film it might just make people roll their eyes and get annoyed at best.

Here’s hoping that won’t happen...

Heck, some of the GOP Media (Hannity, Levin, Ann Coulter, etc) have been as bad attacking and trying to marginalize “Birthers”...they have been as bad on the issue as the Liberal media has.

The problem with this “Frank Marshall Davis is Obama’s Father” stuff is that Barack, Jr., and his half-bro, George look so much alike...there is no way other than Barack Sr is Barack Jrs father

Also, these FM Davis-Obama father people are usually quite anti-Birther and also try to marginalize and attack “Birthers”....however, you still need a copy of Obama’s real Hawaii Birth Cert to prove that FM Davis was Obama’s father

Obama’s Eligibility should have been a main issue from day one...and not doing so may see Obama win a 2d term

Agreed. We don’t need this right now.

“It’s the economy, stupid.”

We need to focus on objective issues. If we put this out there, the Left says it makes us look mean, and desperate, and THAT becomes the issue, our meanness and our desperation.

Stick to money issues, IMHO.

For good reason. Gilbert is barking up the wrong tree, and journalists/commentators who know better (and some who should know better) are yelling, "Go, boy, go."
