Obama Birth Certificate Timing?

I was just thinking about how convenient the timing was for the release of the 'long form' birth certificate. I mean, in light of bin Laden and all, the sheer stupidity and pettiness of the whole 'birther' thing is all the more obvious. Could they have released the certificate when they did just to implicitly prove a point?

Thoughts?

    I was annoyed when Obama released it, but now I know why he did it when he did!

    He knew that this was going to fall right where he wanted it, ''here's my birth certificate, oh and btw here's Bin Ladin's a$$!!!"

    I bet Trump nearly had a heart attack, just 24 hours after he'd been humiliated as well, poetic justice or what!!!

    Pretty cool, wouldn't you say???

    While both events do give Obama a boost, the birth certificate release was in response to Trump and that furry alien living on his head that forces him to say insane things. Trump couldn't have known about OBL, so I doubt the two are connected.

    The reason it took so long to release the birth certificate in the first place was because Obama was busy with other issues, you know, like trying to kill Osama.

    Obama should have settled the birth certificate thing from the beginning.

    I think they knew the conspiracy theorists would need something new to chew on if Obama proved them idiots. The timing was excellent. Can't wait to hear from Donald Trump.
