Like most politicians do, I think this is a calcuated move on President Obama's part.
IMO, the "birther" movement looked unhinged, unable or unwilling to accept the 2008 verdict of the American voting public. Rants about the president's "mysterious" background made the president appear more sympathetic to other political audiences.
I suspect the White House has polling showing the issue's "benefit" has maxed out, thus today's move. Otherwise, this could have been done one, two years ago?
I don't think national politicians pour milk on their morning cereal until they poll-test and put the proper "framing" on how best to announce things.
