What do you do, when your team is down by 2 touchdowns, in the final minutes of the 3rd quarter -- and you're pinned against your own end-zone, with 4th and long?
Well, if you're Team Romney -- you Punt, of course!
And then call in the GOP back-benchers to try and change the subject for you ...
Enter Wayne Allyn Root -- the new darling of the rightwing fantasy-league circuit. (Hannity just finished giving him a nice cushy soapbox ...)
Obama classmate blows lid off of scandalous secrets

Monday a former Obama classmate at Columbia University in the early 1980s wrote an expose at The Blaze which sheds significant light on the questions surrounding the president's years as a student at Columbia.
Wayne Allyn Root serves as the chairman of the Libertarian National Campaign Committee and is a former vice presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party. Root was a student at Columbia during the same time period that Obama attended the university.
Root does not allege that Obama was never a student at Columbia. In fact, he is quite certain that Obama was there. But Root says that in spite of the fact that Obama was a classmate attending Columbia during the same years, with the same major -- Pre-Law and Political Science -- and graduating the same year, 1983, he never heard of nor saw Obama, who at the time went under the name "Barry Soetoro."
In addition, none of his fellow Political Science majors had heard of him.

Dunt, dunt, dah! Queue the mystery music ...
Wayne Allyn Root -- he can spin a yarn, just as engaging as Harry Reid can -- some people say -- say that Root's gonna be around a while.
Not that he really knows Jack about Barack. That won't stop him, just watch.
This Columbia-years parade being led by fake-expert W.A.Root, is designed for one thing:
Changing the Media topic -- and putting Team Obama back on the defensive ... even if only for a day or two.
Just watch the "everybody does it" crowd pop out the woodwork, to carry the GOP slush-fund water -- afterall there's a new "foreigner theory" to spin ... (Trump's already quoting Root on the tube.)
Op-Ed: Why won't Obama open his college transcripts to the public?
by Gar Swaffar, digitaljournal.com -- Aug 7, 2012
President Obama has refused to unseal his college transcript records. Why? Is there a problem in them which would cause problems? One man asserts he has the answer.
Wayne Allyn Root purports to be a classmate of President Obama's at Columbia College, according to what President Obama claims. In theory they both went to the same school, at the same time, both were Political Science majors and both graduated in 1983.

Is it possible, suggests Mr. Root, that the manner in which Obama/Sotero was able to afford all of the very prestigious colleges, was to be given a free ride as a "foreign exchange student" Foreign exchange students who are poor get the free ride to colleges which allow them the opportunities they would never be able to afford on their own.
Is it possible Obama/Sotero's mother never quite made the change to have him re-registered as an American Citizen.
Mr. Root, who makes his living as an oddsmaker in Las Vegas is betting that Obama/Sotero failed to get the required citizenship change.

Be forewarned, Wayne Allyn Root is making the talking-head circuit -- and he doesn't have to prove a damn thing.
That's the way their fantasy-circuit likes it that way.
He only has to ask some very "false-equivalence" questions, about the Democratic Leader -- a guy who has the actually guts to Lead.
Unlike the Republican challenger, who wouldn't release his Tax Returns -- if even the 4th Quarter outcome depended on it. Because some Team Leaders only think about themselves and what's best for them, in the long run.
They'd rather let others do all the counter-distracting dirty work for them -- that's what Corporate CEO's do, afterall. Hire henchmen.
Look over there people, Wayne Allyn Root has spoken. And he doesn't know a damn thing.
