But is there real evidence that standards in the Hawaiian COLB program were laxer than in other states? Not that I've seen.
There's so many birthers diligently digging up anything they can find, that I think it's pretty likely we'd have seen evidence of lax standards if they were in fact as lax as birthers claim they were.
It wouldn't be the first time one of these factoids turned out to be untrue.
So far, that's happened with virtually every factoid the birthers have come up with.
Well it happened with the “Indonesian Travel Ban,” the fake Kenyan birth certificate, and the supposed Occidental College records leak. The claim that Obama’s “grandmother” said he was born in Kenya doesn’t stand up too well either. But there are so many mysteries and so much undisclosed information and so many strange details about Obama that this isn’t going to stop any time soon.

This beautifully printed Certificate of Hawaiian Birth belongs to Sun Yat-Sen, the Father of Modern China, who was born in China.
This Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, dated March 14, 1904, was issued after Dr. Sun signed a raggedy type-written statement affirming that he was born in Hawaii on Nov. 24, 1870.
Sun Yat-sen was born on November 12, 1866, to a peasant family in the village of Cuiheng, Xiangshan county , Guangzhou prefecture, Guangdong province (26 km or 16 miles north of Macau), not Hawaii, as this document affirms.
We know Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's sister has a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth too, and she was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. You can be born anywhere and get one.
