I'm not a big conspiracy guy but the whole thing has even made me suspicious. When this whole story first started, I figured Obama would release the certificate and prove that the allegations of him being born in Kenya were nonsense. But even after people started suing, he still refused to release it. That would even make a rational person a little suspicious.

why would obama want the issue to go away? there is zero downside to any play this still gets in the media. it's all positive from the white house point of view.

the problem is that birthers can't step outside themselves to see how they look to the rest of the world. you're like the black knight in monty python's holy grail. no arms. no legs. but still trying to put up a fight.
