President Obama is using this birther thing masterfully.

Obama wants to choose his opponent for 2012. Trump is weak. So why not make it seem like Trump is the only man powerful enough to get Obama to submit? Bam! There ya go! Long form birth certificate. Obama makes it seem like Trump "rolled" him (whatever that means).
The boring reality is that the birth certificate issue was becoming a distraction from budget negotiations.
Back to the previous Republican loser, John McCain. He was born in Panama. That makes him Panamanian
according to the laws that existed at the time of his birth. He was born on a military base, but not an American embassy (American soil). He was born of American parents, but that doesn't matter because he was born on foreign soil. To retroactively grant him American citizenship with a new law that went into effect several years after his birth makes McCain a NATURALIZED CITIZEN, not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. He was never qualified to run for POTUS and a non-binding resolution means nothing.
Hey Birthers! Many of you voted for a man that was not qualified to even run. Did you ask for his birth certificate? Have you seen it? Have you even Googled it? Would you like me to DO THAT FOR YOU since you seem to be unable to post it yourselves?
