BUSTED!!!

The National Nightmare is over. Long live the National Nightmare.

If I had a dollar for every time a birther simply and compassionately said: "ALL he has to do is show us his birth certificate...." I'd buy Donald Trump and fucking give him to China.

Today, of course, president Obama did show his long-form birth certificate and, within 3 seconds those same easy-to-pleasy birthers were, not pleased. Turns out they were bluffing about that "....all he has to do...." part. They didn't mean it. They lied.

I think Obama and the rest of us knew they were lying all along. Very few people truly have the guts to admit that they are retarded racists and even fewer to apologize for it. I don't think I know of one who WAS satisfied after this mornings press conference. Birthers is as birthers do. Not a one of these kochsuckers needed proof to sway them. Their feeble minds were made up as soon as it became clear he was going to be POTUS. Like drunks in a bar who promise to leave after "just one more..." these birthers, drunk with the power of annoyance, ain't intending on going away. Ever. You can throw the drunks out. The birthers though, no amount of proof to their contrary is enough. Lies and conspiracy are their booze. They cannot get enough.

Obama did the right thing this morning. Why didn't he do it 2 and a half years ago? He didn't fucking have to! He had then satisfied the powers that be that he met the requirements to hold the office of the presidency and, like every previous candidate for president since we started growing them here, he did not HAVE to show his BC to the public. But, unlike every previous president he was black. There is NO doubt in my mind that this birther crap and 99% of the opposition to him is because he is black. This would NOT have happened to a white president. Remember that John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. That was kinda dicey but, he had two white parents. And, he didn't win. So, I guess we'll never know?  Yeah right...

I think he was wise to let it play out. If you sit by the river long enough, you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.  Sideshow Donald showed up as if HE had discovered the birther *issue*. Now was as good a time as any to OFFICIALLY dispel the birther bullshit while one of the biggest assholes in the country was exploiting it. It was really brilliant. of Obama. Though this crap has been out there, it has been amongst the out-there crowd and kind of winked at by more mainstream republican politicians. At *best* it was kinda-sorta endorsed by no one more official than Limbaugh or Beck and though they are very popular amongst the bagger crowd, they're not trying to be politicians. Sideshow Donald was at least pretending to maybe be running for president.

Trump thought he was playing Obama. Obama played him.

Very well played, Mr President. Played like a Harvard man at that....
