Birthers: What would be the point?

Lets say Obama's birth certificate were fake. What would be the point and who would be the perpetrator? A Muslim conspiracy? Seems if they could get someone into our white house and trick the FBI, CIA and half of the American people, they would be able to set a bomb off in Times Square. Or worse...

What am I missing here?

Update:

jaxa: "when it is proven". You are making a lot of assumptions here. Why, with all of the pubic scrutiny so far, has something so simple not been proven??? Why are people still saying there was no valid birth certificate after so many people have studied and explored this question over the years?

Update 2:

MYX: "There is in fact a cover up. 0bama has spent millions to cover up his entire life. Very little is known about him. Some might say he is ex CIA but i can't say for a fact thats true but it does make sense."

-isn't there a difference between "questioning authority and pulling sh*t out your butt because you don't like the president? Yes, very little is known about him...except for that book he wrote on his life and all the reporting that people did to prove or disprove his Muslim connections. I feel I know much more about him then Clinton.

Update 3:

Debbiep: Amen to that.

    It amazes me that ANYBODY still believes this birther crap. If there was one shred of evidence to prove that the president is lying about his citizenship, it would have been uncovered by the Clintons or the McCain campaign with the help of Bush, the FBI and the CIA. IT IS NOT THERE. They need to get over it, a black man is president - and stop being such crybabies.

    Well can you connect the dots? People in positions of power throughout history don't play by the rules we little people play by. There is in fact a cover up. 0bama has spent millions to cover up his entire life. Very little is known about him. Some might say he is ex CIA but i can't say for a fact thats true but it does make sense. Why do people like you put Obama 2008 bumper stickers over your old question authority stickers. What changed? Do you really believe Obummer is any different than Bush? If the Powers that be wanted 0bama gone he would be gone. A birth certificate doesn't mean a thing to these folks. It has never been the voters who put people in office. Its those who count the votes. Get back to your roots of questioning authority. Stop using liberal buzz words like birther and racist etc. They just don't have any impact anymore.

    I have no idea why I try and educate a libretard. It never seems to work. Oh he wote awiddle book about his life. Isn't that special. I would bet a million dollars you never read that book did you. Otherwise you would not have brought it up.

    I see that is a comic book tale placed up, considering that none of this stuff are actual. some, like #10 are common to verify: in basic terms look on the structure. Or the very undeniable reality that both Dukakis and McGovern actually ran. Or #9, which means that there is "evidence" yet then delivers 2 opportunities. if you're joking, large. if you're severe, it really is total fail.

    Yet another desperate attempt to throw mud at a Black man who is defying the restrictions Whites put on him as an individual. Nothing about him and the election process has not been put under the microscope since he has taken power. These sore losers are using every dirty trick in the book to tarnish his image. This is no less dirty than the shameless way they tried to let a White woman go on the rampage and say that a Black man associated with Obama's campaign raped her. She even went so far as self-immolation. All of this over 1 known Black president. gun sales going up. Republicans returning under a new Tea Bagger label because Bush shamed the name so much and they wanted to echo Obama's change theme with a "Maverick" tune. All a bunch of bothersome noise. Yet when we had no Black president they wanted us to sit there and be quiet. If they can't tell me about Bush hacking Diebold machines to win and those investigating it turning up dead, why should I hear nonsense about Obama not being born here. That didn't stop them from installing their leaders in other parts of the world. As far as I'm concerned the rap sheet of the most depraved among us pales when you hold it next to their rap sheets.

    If he was found to actually not be a legitiment candidate for the presidency, he would have to be removed from office and any document that bares his signature as president would have to be declared void. it would require all companies to return the money from the bail outs and the money then returned to china. It would basically push the reset button on the last two years. There will also be two open seats on the supreme court and we'd probably have a special election for president.

    Ask Bill Clinton, hon.

    Clinton started the "Birther Movement" during the 2008 Democrat Primaries.

    Clinton demanded that Obama produce His Birth Certificate.

    Obama refused and has spent over a Million dollars to keep it hidden.

    Cool.

    You have jumped past the real perpetrator and into a totally unrelated conspiracy theory. Think about 0bama himself who has duped the country, hidden his agenda for years, just to get where he is today. He has spent $millions to keep this information under wraps, and the weak kneed SCOTUS has done nothing to force this information out in the open.

    What you are missing is with the right information, we could impeach 0bama, and take back our country.

    We just have to put up with these people because there aren't enough facilities with padded walls and snugly white jackets for them all. It's funny when racists complain about someone playing the race card. "I'm not a racist." I heard a woman say then 10 minutes later she says, "You know he smokes pot and he looks like a monkey." That is the 100% honest truth.

    The point would be that he never thought anyone would bother to check on it.

    The forgery is a CYA rather than a planned conspiracy

    The perpetrators were obama supporters who were already committed to his cause after the Clinton campaign brought the issue up.

    The phony birth certificate they have presented was done by a left wing blogger.

    No one knows who faked the microfilm newpaper birth records but it is interesting that they only came to light 2 years after the original birther charge was made. It was a particularly sloppy forgery since there is no evidence that the Obama family ever lived at the given address.
