So again, why is Obama so secretive about his past?

He's not. His birth certificate was released in 2008 but the crazies didn't believe what was on it.

No, you're confusing him with Obama...Bush didn't read from a teleprompter 

He had no choice but release it... have you seen the poll numbers as to the questioning his
eligibility for office owing to the fact that he has went to such lengths, not to mention cost, to conceal most all of his past

So what lengths and cost is he supposed to have gone to, to conceal this?

[evidence]

Had he shown it from the get go like he was supposed to instead of spending
an astronomical amount of money to conceal his secretive past,
The birthers would never have gotten of the ground 

You underestimate the birthers. They wouldn't be deterred by something as trivial as evidence.

Jaysus give them time to digest this...it only showed up today
After 2 1/2 years of him trying to run from it.

They won't need to digest it, it will be straight on to the next phase of the conspiracy. They didn't accept the Certification of Live Birth which proved that he was born in Hawaii and they won't accept this.

Obama releases the long form of his birth certificate.

I don't think that will convince the lunatic birthers or the almost half of Republican voters who think he was born outside the US.

Something I am completely fed up looking at but very interesting for anyone interested in Finance/Economics or how the 'shit hit the fan'

Funny,
that's my line of work, I have met Myron Scholes and Emmanuel Dermann from the Black Derman Toy (BDT) model. That documentary could be written in a few words: Be advised taking as gospel a model which APPROXIMATES risk leaves opportunity for huge wins and huge losses...

I have also seen it written as don't treat the highly unlikely as impossible.

Really? 162 games! feck me thats some going.
How many times do the clubs play each other?

The teams in the same division play each other 18 times in a season, usually 3 games at a time.

Recently I have taken a liking to brooklyn east india pale ale and I really liked dogfish head 90 minute ipa, though at 9% that would be more of an occasional treat.

Speaking in advance of the protest, cathaoirleach éirígí Brian Leeson said:

"Our protest on April 16th will take place just one month before Windsor is scheduled to visit Dublin. It is the latest in a series of similar protests that éirígí have held over the last five years in opposition to all visits to all parts of Ireland by the British royal family. On this occasion our protest will include a piece of street theatre which will see an effigy of Elizabeth Windsor symbolically beheaded in a mock guillotine.

Leeson added: "We have deliberately chosen the guillotine to make a very serious political point. It is closely associated with the French revolution, when the people of that country threw off the chains of monarchy in favour of freedom and republicanism based on equality, liberty and fraternity. And that was over two hundred years ago.

I think this is a brilliant idea from the geniuses in eirigi. Once the unionists see the effigy of the the Queen being beheaded they will realise that they really want to leave the UK and become part of a united Ireland.

hope its not switched to sunday as the newry half marathon is on that day and im intending to run in it. anybody that would rather watch the champions league final on tv is not a real fan of down or armagh as this is one match nobody should want to miss.

Newry Half starts at 9:30 am you will have plenty of time to run it and still get to the game if it gets switched.

Cheers Hardy,
Quick Wiki check shows that they are cousins, their fathers are brothers and emigrated from Crossmaglen. They were born in Canada and Birmingham respectively.

Their fathers were also brothers of the late Paddy Short who ran Short's pub in Crossmaglen until he died a few years back.

McIlroy finishes on 65 (-7) and he missed makeable birdie putts on 16 and 18.

Radiation levels at the damaged Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant are continuing to rise. The Jiji Press news agency says the levels are eight times above normal. Its report also cites a ministry official as saying there is a "possibility of a radioactive leak"

I hope the pro-Nuclear Energy lobby here in Ireland are taking note.

They probably are. They are probably also taking note of how likely it would be that Ireland would be hit by an earthquake or a tsunami.
