So we’ve swung back to possibly authentic and we have HOPE again? (My head is spinning so much I need Dramamine)
The newspaper birth announcement
If he was born in Kenya, and spotted by Susan Blake in Seattle 3 weeks earlier, Obama and his momma likely flew through Hawaii en route to Seattle. It would have been quite convenient for Ann Dunham or her mother to have registered Obama via a "Certificate of Hawaiian Birth" or "Certificate of Late Birth"
Letter from Obama saying he was born in Kapiolani Medical Center
His spokesman Gibbs dances around the subject everytime he's asked at the daily press briefing. Kapiolani won't confirm it's authenticity either. And there's still that article where his own sister said he was born at Queens Medical Center. Yet others in his family, before knowing that NBC was an important issue, slipped up and said he was born in Kenya.
Marriage in Hawaii
It may have been shown for the 1964 divorce. Oddly, investigators searching have not discovered a header for it in any Hawaiian database or microfiche index. Just like a Kenyan birth certificate, the archives in Hawaii today probably wouldn't contain a Marriage Certificate from Kenya. For that matter, the marriage certificate from Ann Dunham's Indonesian marriage with Lolo Soetoro, filed for divorce in 1980 in Hawaii, has never been found either...

Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, terminated in 1972 after Obamas 1961 birth, to be substituted for a ...Even the punk'd birth certificate that floated up yesterday has more plausibility than the birth certificate he's shown from Hawaii thus far.
Certificate of Late Birth, thence a ...
Certificate of Live Birth, thence a shortened, abstracted ...
Certification of Live Birth, which wasn't first issued until Nov 2001.
