Here’s Obama’s dilemma in a nutshell (READ VERY CAREFULLY AND DIGEST):

If BHO shows his original long form birth certificate, indeed showing he was born in Hawaii, it will also show his father was American citizen, Frank Marshall Davis, not the Kenyan/British citizen, Barack Obama Sr. While that would allow Barack Jr. to be POTUS eligible as BOTH a "citizen"/“native born citizen” AND an Article 2 “natural born citizen” -- that is, born to two American citizens on American soil -- it would simultaneously show he is a fraud hiding his real father -- an unacceptable political debacle.

If, on the other hand, BHO keeps hiding his original long form birth certificate -- while simply repeating, without showing, he was born in Hawaii -- he can still CLAIM BOTH he was born in Hawaii AND his father was the Kenyan/British Barack Obama Sr. This would enable Barack Jr. to claim he's a "citizen"/“native born citizen” but it would mean (if a federal court would ever get around to declaring and thus far no one has standing to bring the suit) that he’s NOT an Article 2 “natural born citizen” and thus not eligible to be POTUS -- a legal/constitutional debacle since all acts under an illegal POTUS are void.

So it seems, BHO has elected option one until forced to go option two because for now it looks like no federal court will ever find a plaintiff with standing. (Of course, there’s the additional issue of BHO losing American citizen status if/when he became an Indonesian citizen -- that is, IF he returned and was naturalized he would be a legal citizen, but would lose both native and natural born status, and, IF he returned and was not naturalized, he would be an illegal immigrant unlawfully in this country -- but we’ll leave that for another day.)

I have come to the conclusion that he is purposely not showing his birth certificate. As long as he doesn't, it's a diversion for anything he's doing to the economy. I was commenting somewhere... (can't remember now where) that Gibbs did not have to even talk about it at whatever press conference he was doing - he could say "no comment" and move along.

For that matter... they could be seeding press conferences with these questions. If you are thinking about this, you're distracted from other things he's doing.

What the BC shows - I have no idea. And at this point it's academic because he's been elected and there is no way in the world he'll be thrown out (not by the lot we have in Congress). These are red herrings to keep people's minds on other things. If you argue about this, you aren't arguing about health care or mortgages or you name the issue. Heh.

The sumbitch is a fraud no matter where he wuz born.
