Andy McCarthy from the National Review posts the following about the new questions surrounding Obama’s birth certificate which I posted about yesterday:

My predisposition on the many stories floating around about Obama and his circle is to ignore them on the following theory:  If there was really anything to this or that, the Clintons would have found it and gotten their media friends all over it.  This story about Obama’s eligibility puzzles me because (a) it is so basic, (b) it should be so easy to prove the relevant facts of his birth, (c) the Obama campaign’s response to the story is bizarre, and (d) it seems to be getting worse rather than resolved.

That pretty much sums up my feelings about this.  It’s hard to believe that the circumstances of Obama’s birth aren’t exactly what the campaign tell us they are, but with these seemingly legitimate questions swirling about the circumstances of that birth and veracity of government birth documents acknowledged as accurate by the campaign its also hard to imagine why the campaign doesn’t just order a release of a hard copy of the birth certificate from the appropriate state authority and be done with it.

If there’s something here that the Obama campaign is hiding, that’s bad.  But if there’s nothing to this and Obama is such an ineffectual leader that his campaign can’t even figure out how to squash something like this, is that not equally as bad?

Neither circumstance speaks highly of Obama.
