So, is it over then?

Today on "Good Morning, America," George Stephanopolis confronted Michele Bachmann with her statement on Fox News last night that Obama should come forward with his birth certificate.

Stephanopolis: "Well I have the president's certificate right here. It's certified, it's got a certification number. It's got the registrar of the state signed. It's got a seal on it. And it says 'this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.'

Bachmann: Well, then that should settle it.

Stephanopoulos: So it's over?

Bachmann: That's what should settle it. I take the president at his word and I think- again I would have no problem and apparently the president wouldn't either. Introduce that, we're done. Move on.

Yeah. But what does she know? When Stephanopolis confronted The Donald with the same information, The Donald said that just proves that he (Stephanopolis) had been "co-opted by White House minions."

Donald Trump doesn't believe that for a minute. He's not dumb. He's just pandering and making mischief.

My guess is that the Birthers will just turn on Michele. Sometimes you just can't convince people with facts -- or certified birth certificates -- when their whole raisin d'etre depends on believing the lie.
