Why did Obama release his "long form" birth certificate now? Several reasons:
1) Some percentage of the "birther" crowd are low-information people who just heard from a friend or whatever that there's a controversy. Releasing it this publicly ensures that even tenants at the Under The Rock apartments get the word.
2) Obama got to look like an adult, scolding the childish media.
3) The birthers, including Trump, look like chumps. Remember how Ross Perot got mocked for his "giant sucking sound?"
4) Obama really does want to talk about important stuff, not BS.
