Was it really Donald Trump who forced Barack Obama to release what purports to be his long-awaited birth certificate?
That is the conventional wisdom of the Big Media.
But a cursory review of the timetable the White House released to the Washington Post suggests the impending release of Jerome Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" was straw that broke the camel's back.
According to the account in the Post, Obama got serious about releasing the document April 21. That's when White House Counsel Robert Bauer asked Obama's personal attorney, Judy Corley of Perkins Coie, to contact the Hawaii health department to secure the birth certificate.
That, of course, was less than a full day after Corsi's book was featured on the Drudge Report and rocketed to No. 1 on Amazon – long before its release date of May 17.
Drudge's report declared: "The street date is a LONG month away, and author Jerome Corsi, the man who torpedoed John Kerry's presidential dreams with SWIFT BOAT, has gone underground and is holding his new findings thisclose. 'It's utterly devastating,' reveals a source close to the publisher. 'Obama may learn things he didn't even know about himself!'"
Drudge wondered then whether the president's attorneys will "attempt to interfere with the book's distribution?" and whether the book will "finally – once and for all – put an end to the growing controversy?"
Well, that's exactly what happened.
This was a pre-emptive strike against a book that will put the eligibility debate back on track.
