So from 3000 feet my understanding is that the "certificate of live birth" is actually not the form that the right wing crazies want, which is called the long form birth certificate. Correct?
Its correct in the sense that is what they are asking for now. They have shifted the goalposts of proof at least three times already.
Is there any chance this document wouldn't be created for some reason or something?
As i understand it, the long for is the original and all reproductions are the short form which is what he released. However im pretty sure the health services head in Hawaii has said she has seen the document.
Lost?
Also plausible. But again, this seems to be contradicted by the health services woman. If im remembering it correctly anyway.
Would Obama gain anything from not showing it to the public?
There is a none zero chance there is something embarrassing on the form. Certainly its nothing related to his presidential status though. There is also the fact that as the birthers have shifted the goalposts of proof repeatedly all he is going to gain by showing it is more questions like why he didnt sooner or why cant he show XYZ proof as well and so on and and so forth.
Given proof of being born on US soil is all that is constitutionally required (if that) and the short form he released proves it that seems like a good time to just dig in and say enough is enough.
As ive asked before, if these guys were junkers and wanted to see his dick, would anyone seriously be asking him to just whip it out given how easy it would be for him to do so?
Is he just letting the RW self destruct?
I sure hope so. It would be really really epic if they got to the debate stage and the Reps chose some nutbag who tried this on and his just whips out his long one in the live debate.
