I know, I know, not one more keystroke should be wasted on the Obama birther “controversy.” I’ve got nothing revelatory to add to this non-story, but I just want to point out what savvy Obama displayed in handling this.
Kudos to him for dragging his heels on releasing his long form birth certificate.
The common wisdom says that Obama did not dig up the long form earlier because he didn’t want to get his white gloves dirty.
He was above the fray, remember. He was taking the high road when it came to the politics of smear. And I do believe that, in spite of the compromises he’s made since taking office, he still is a pragmatic idealist (if that contradiction actually works).
Perhaps his fashion has left the deepest impression with the uniformed work force, for as comedy writer Stefanie Novik comments, “He looks like a janitor.” But it is apparent that Kim’s fashion has also influenced the big screen. Just take a look at Dr. Evil.
