You're right, Eri. Obama and his followers repeatedly denied these rumors, since before the election. This whole "real" birth certificate smokescreen (not to mention all the embellishments that have been added to it since, like my favorites, Obama's Mau-Mau and anti-colonial roots) is exactly that: a smokescreen.
That Obama is now being actually blamed for this flap, that it is all some kind of liberal reverse psychology plot fiendishly designed to make conservatives look bad is absolutely astonishing, although I do have to admit it further confirms a lot of my own prejudices. So I can't really blame the Republicans now hoping it would all just go away, and the Democrats gleefully doing every thing they can to make sure nobody forgets. Rave on, Macduff.
I do disagree with you on one point. As soon as Obama leaves office, either in 2012 or 2016, the birther stuff will stop. There will no longer be a need to make him go away, or an easy way to bring it about.
