This should put an end to the birther pseudo-controversy

Of course it won't. They'll point out that the long-form birth certificate is obviously a photocopy (which it says on the document), will demand that the original be released, will ask what was on the other page that the curve in the image indicates is there, will find some clerical error to nitpick about, and in the last analysis will say: "He's the most powerful man in the world. Of course he can forge a birth certificate!"

Obviously the reason that Obama stooped to throw the crazies a bone is because Donald Trump took up their cause and made it mainstream. I strongly suspect that this will not be the end of it. Perhaps it will, though, push it back into the right-wing fringes where it belongs.

Update: See what I mean?
