i have done a great service to the american people. >> let's bring in andy card, former chief of staff under george w. bush and democratic strategist paul begala. mr. card, has donald trump done a great service to this country? >> look it, i'm not a birther. i thought the president should have done this an awful long time ago. he would have helped create a climate where you could have an honest debate about the real policies that make a difference. today we should be talking about what ben bernanke said in an unprecedented press conference from the federal reserve chairman about our economy and the world's economy. and instead we're talking about a birth certificate that the president could have released a long time ago? just like oprah said, what took you so long? why didn't you do this a long time ago? like the folks said, like ed henry said -- >> but he did release his birth certificate 2 1/2 years ago. >> he could have released the long system 2 1/2 years ago, the long form. he could have done it. there were cynics -- there were cynics in the campaign.
