"Still, the source told WND confidentially the motivation for withholding the original birth certificate was political, although the source refused to disclose whether there was any information on the original birth certificate that would prove politically embarrassing to Obama."
Obama's Birth Certificate Sealed
Thanks Spunky, N&V and all who responded. And let’s not forget Tim Adams, the HI elections official who swears no original LF BC ever existed in HI for Obama. Kind of hard to have embarrassing info on a nonexistent doc, isn’t it?
During the course of my employment, Adams swears in the affidavit (viewable in full as part 1 and part 2), I became aware that many requests were being made to the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division, the Hawaii Office of Elections, and the Hawaii Department of Health from around the country to obtain a copy of then-Senator Barack Obamas long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate.
As he inquired about the birth certificate, he says, his supervisors told him that the records were not on file at the Hawaii Department of Health.
Senior officers in the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division told me on multiple occasions that no Hawaii long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate existed for Senator Obama in the Hawaii Department of Health, Adams affidavit reads, and there was no record that any such document had ever been on file in the Hawaii Department of Health or any other branch or department of the Hawaii government.

Whatever was sanitized from his passport file was said by the reporter to have been “embarrassing,” so he’s hiding SOMETHING.
