The release marked an unexpected turn in the long-simmering, though widely discredited, controversy over Obama's origin. Obama's advisers have for the better part of three years dismissed questions about the president's birth, directing skeptics to the short-term document released during the 2008 campaign. But as the issue gained more attention at the state level and particularly in the 2012 presidential race, Obama and his advisers said Wednesday that it was starting to distract attention from pressing challenges like the budget.
The president, who discussed the release at the White House without taking questions, acknowledged the announcement may not put the so-called birther controversy to rest. But he told the public and the media that it's time to "get serious."
"We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama said. "We've got better stuff to do. I've got better stuff to do. We've got big problems to solve."
Why did this take so long then Mr. Obama if you are so worried about solving the big problems? Speculation should soon begin based on the drama of producing the birth certificate about its authenticity, especially with Jerome Corsi's new book coming out that supposedly has evidence in it that Obama is not a natural citizen and doesn't meet the qualifications to serve as president.
