Silly? Who’s Silly?
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Thank you Trump for bringing enough pressure to bear that it cracked the “most transparent administration in history’s” stone wall of secrecy. Hopefully, after verification of the Certificate of Live Birth, the birth component of the issue will be over. What won’t be over is a clear delineation and definition of what constitutes “Natural Born.” Most assume it is birth in the United States; maybe, maybe not. It depends. More on that later.
Following Obama’s release of his long form birth certificate he held a news conference at which he whined about being distracted by the “silly” issue, over which he, and he alone had total control from the outset. Instead, he chose to go the its-none-of-their-business, arrogant route creating in the process a vast body of conjecture, which, given numerous inquiries into the matter, now gives rise to additional questions because of the belated release. Then there’s the question, “Why April 27th?” The answer is self-evident. But, perhaps no one noticed that he is in the campaign mode with a scheduled visit to Oprah, and three back to back fundraisers.
Obama told us: “We don’t have time for this silliness,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “We’ve got better stuff to do,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “I’ve got better stuff to do,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “We’ve got big problems to solve,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “and I’m confident we can solve them,” and serious Americans agree. Then he told us: “but we’re going to have to focus on them, not on this,” shortly before he embarked on Air Force One for the flight to Chicago and an appearance on Oprah’s show where he proceeded to joke about it for the lemmings in the audience. Then, not long afterward Obama and his entourage flew to New York for back-to-back fundraisers.
But didn’t he just say? “We don’t have time for this silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do. We’ve got big problems to solve, and I’m confident we can solve them, but we’re going to have to focus on them, not on this.”
Rational, thinking people among other things conclude the following:
1. Obama was blathering because he immediately embarked on the very silliness he had just maligned, with Oprah in Chicago; followed by three self-serving “silly little” fundraising events in New York;
2. He was teasing ardent dupes with “birther meat” to drain as much “silly” money as possible from them;
3. He was diverting attention from the fact that he was finally forced to show the “silly little” birth certificate;
4. He was being his normal duplicitous, deceptive, deceitful, dishonest, two faced, tricky, “silly” self; or,
5. All of the above.
Hope and Change? More like “silly” Chicago style politics.
