not really. it's an article that's red meat for a segment of his base that's going to vote for him no matter what. unless the election hangs in the balance on the issue of race (which if it does is bad news for obama) i don't feel any better at all.

i have to assume the white house is in possession of polling data that showed birther inroads into some segment of the population that raised red flags for november 2012. otherwise this makes no sense from a strategic standpoint.

the birther movement was carrying a lot of water for democrats in poisoning the republican well for moderate voters.

i argued with someone here well before the 2008 election that anyone who was still a birther at that point would never be convinced and it was pointless to try. i hope i was right.
