it's more complicated than that. I've done genealogy research for nearly 40 years and have obtained many birth certificates from different states. Since 9/11 states have become very tight with issuing birth certificates in order to prevent identity theft and I suppose in some effort to "fight terrorism" (isn't that what's claimed when the government doesn't want you to have information). Before 9/11 states issued a certified copy of the original information which contained things like addresses, type of work, signature of attending physician, etc. After 9/11 states have issued an abbreviated version which includes only name, birth date, parents names and not much else. When Mr. Obama presented his qualifications to get on the ballot, I presume that the birth certificate the state of Hawaii issued at that time was the abbreviated version.

Along came these "birfers" who seem to recall in the dark recesses of their miniscule brains that their own birth certificate issued many years ago contained more detailed information. Therefore, this "other", this dark-skinned up-start, MUST have furnished a fake certificate. He didn't -- he furnished the certificate that Hawaii issued at the time.

Subsequently THE STATE OF HAWAII, in violation of their own procedures, issued a copy of his "long form" certificate. The state was reluctant to break protocol as they were concerned that if they did it once, people would be clamoring for them to do it again and again. However, the state decided to issue the longer form anyway. Obama didn't issue the certificate, it was up to the State of Hawaii to issue the certificate.

But those pin-heads just can't wrap their itty-bitty nobules which substitute for brains around the fact that this man is not only qualified in every manner to run for the Presidency, he DID run and he DID win. It's long past time to stop beating this dead horse.
