Did Obama deliberately time his birth certificate release with killing Osama?

I seriously doubt it. A smart move if he did, but it's a little too neat.

Agreed.  Heck I think he should have waited til further along in the pub campaign and let more birthers stick their foot in their mouth more and more.

No.  If it somehow would have gotten out that we had such a great chance to get Bin Laden and didn't, Obama would be in the tank.  I'm supportive of his decision to do what he did when he did it.  It resulted in success and showed he's willing and able to address such issues.
