Why Did President Obama Wait So Long To Show A Birth Certificate?

Why did President Obama wait so long to show a birth certificate?

No. I presume you’re referring to the Cold Case Posse. The Cold Case Posse was an ongoing publicity stunt/fundraising scam run by Joe Arpaio. It wasn’t carried out by qualified persons, or to any standard for a genuine investigation, and never produced any real evidence, with actual probative value, that Obama’s birth certificate was “fake.” Brian Reilly initiated the petition requesting Arpaio investigate Obama’s birth certificate, got Jerome Corsi involved with the process, and takes credit for getting the Cold Case Posse “investigation” started.

Here’s Arpaio responding to criticism from his own staff about how dumb his birther activities were. “You’ll get more money than you know what to do with.” Birther attorney Mario Apuzzo tried to present Cold Case Posse materials as evidence in a New Jersey eligibility challenge, Purpura v. Obama, in 2012. Here’s what Judge Jeff Masin told him about those materials. "We're off the far end here in terms of legal evidence in a legal proceeding, not a press conference, not a political rally, in a legal proceeding." (The discussion of the materials begins about 12.20.)
