On the matter of Obama's birth certificate - Well played, David Plouffe, well played!
What is the result of Obama holding his birth certificate high above his head while the press and the blogosphere jumped and yelped for it? One of three things, or a combination of them.
1. Misdirection - Something else slipped by us all while we were looking in the wrong direction.
2. Field dressing - Obama stopped some of the bleeding on the mini-scandals erupting around him. The Tony Rezko conviction. The VP vetting committee resignations, Eric Holder, Johnson. The thought that there was something juicy in that birth certificate was far more alluring than mortgage and finance scandals.
3. Innoculation - The next time there is an allegation that BHO is hiding something, people will yawn. They will say "Hey, you got us all spooled up about the birth certificate and there was nothing there. Where's the clicker? Is the game on? Where's my beer?"

That's easy enough -- the result was that nobody got a *close* look at it.
I think it's real. It's too silly for it not to be.
I didn't say it wasn't real, I just said nobody got a close look at it.
What do you think the Average Dem's response would be to seeing Barry's full name -- Barak Hussein Obama II -- start appearing in type?
