I see a flaw in your logic. If what you say is true, then Obama wasn't very smart to issue the birth certificate now. He should have waited until closerto the election. Now all focus is on his failed policies.
Sorry, but fail.

Since you don't know me, I won't actually challenge you to a duel for that implication. But consider yourself thoroughly gloveslapped in my mind, sir or madam!
And what do you mean about timing? Obviously I posted it in response to the latest news. What's to wonder about there?
But okay, so let's play with the cards you're dealing, then. Say I am a disinfo agent. What would I achieve by saying "Focus on the evil things he's really doing"? How would that further his goals exactly?
Perhaps if I were saying that no one should question his birth certificate because he's such a good President, I could understand your point. But I'm saying he's doing evil, so let's stop talking about how he could possibly do evil or have some intangibly evil aspect, and start talking about the real, practical realities of his policies and actions.
Now, let me ask you something. Which sounds more like misdirection to you? "Focus on his actual deeds" or "Keep giving the media more fuel to ignore his actual deeds"?
It occurs to me you might not have meant what I thought you meant. If so, apologies.

It has nothing to do with what is being said on forums.
Focus on his actual deeds is, of course, essential. That's why this is just one of many deeds which is being scrutinised by the public - and rightly so.
I have no idea if you are a disinfo agent -
I'm simply using the same tactic as you use in your OP. You don't seem to like it.

The Democratic recipients of Trump’s donations make up what looks like a Republican enemies list, including former senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), Rep. Charles B. Rangel (N.Y.), Sen. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) and the late liberal lion Edward M. Kennedy (Mass.).
The biggest recipient of all has been the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee of New York, which has taken in more than $125,000 from Trump and his companies. Overall, Trump has given nearly $600,000 to New York state campaigns, with more than two-thirds going to Democrats.
His representatives did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
