The White House has released President Obama’s long-form birth certificate.

I sincerely hope this matter will finally be put to rest. Yet I suspect that some people won’t accept that Barack Obama was born in the United States regardless of the evidence supplied. C’est la vie.

As for Donald Trump, one could argue that he made something out of nothing. On the other hand, I suspect Trump will take full credit for this disclosure and say that if not for him the White House would have never made the documentation public. His potential candidacy for the White House could gather even more steam.

Well, perhaps now we will be able to address the small matter of our national debt.

UPDATE: Trump does not disappoint. He tells reporters in New Hampshire, “Today I’m very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that no one else has been able to accomplish. Our president has finally released a birth certificate.”
