Nice Move!!

Who knew that Obama actually knew the true chess of politics? A President who has fallen woefully short on every campaign promise suddenly shows us the true chess master he is. Out of the clear blue sky Obama's asministration release his long-form birth certificate. Stroke of absolute genius.

Oh, he's been teasing us a lot lately. The GOP takes power and starts threatening his party's key program - he busts out the tax loopholes for big oil (in the midst of skyrocketing gas prices). Unfortunately, it was only enough to slow the GOPs agenda on the budget. As well, the public was still paying attention to the whole discussion. Next, when we already KNOW gas prices suck and don't need to be told, he whips out a commission to investigate the GOPs good buddies in big oil. Uh-oh - that created a crack in the GOP armor. It did not, however, have a crack in the public interest.

Obama must see this as the key moment of his Presidency because the long form birth certificate is Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket. This document rips the pillars out from under the GOP and the Tea Party. This is damage that could unseat the 2012 elections. Not only that, its a BIG blinder to the public on the budget. I would not be surprised if the following discussion is not taking place:

Obama: Alright guys, its over, I won...

Harry Reid: This is a nightmare...

John Boehner: We are dead politically.

Obama: No, no, we can work this out. You want to keep your backers, right?

Reid/Boehner: Fuck yes!

Obama: Well this will pull the wool over the public eyes for a while, so you guys cut a deal with us on the budget. We won't publicize anything and by the time the public gets back to the budget it won't even be news anymore.

Reid: That just might work. They'll think they followed us all along and not realize we got the budget done when they weren't looking.

Boehner: Yeah, and we won't have to face the Tea Party for backing down on the budget.

Obama: See, you guys aren't so dumb after all.

This is all fictitious - Reid and Boehner ARE dumb. All kidding aside, this scene (better written, of course) could be in any political movie ever made and it would sound accurate. I may be wrong, but I think this is the move that gets Obama in for another four years.
