Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck charge Obama released birth certificate to distract from Ben Bernanke's news

President Obama said he released his long-form birth certificate to stop the conspiracy theories and keep the issue from distracting the nation from more important things.

But in doing it Wednesday of all days when the issue has been simmering for months, two of his biggest critics, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, charged the White House with conspiring to create its own distraction -- from the first-ever news conference by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. That long-awaited event is also Wednesday.

"Now, don't let the WH distract you w/the birth crt from what Bernanke says today. Stay focused, eh?" Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee, said in a Twitter message Wednesday addressed to the news media.

1. LOL! "Please ignore the fact that my insane conspiracy theory has been totally blown out of the

water. Move along now."

How long before they start claiming they never really meant to say that Obama wasn't born here?
