Just for the sake of argument, Barack Obama posted his Certification of Live Birth on the internet over a year ago for the entire world to see. That document contained ALL of the constitutionally required information: Place of birth in the US and age over 35 years old.
The State of Hawaii has verified the information on that document.
Do you really think that Barack Obama’s policies will change in any way shape or form after showing his long form birth certificate instead of the short form?
Hawaii: Obama birth certificate is real

In an attempt to quash persistent rumors that President Obama was not born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, Hawaii’s health director reiterated that she has personally seen Obama’s birth certificate in the Health Department’s archives:
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.
I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago....”
On Oct. 31, Fukino originally tried to put an end to the belief among “birthers” that Obama was born in Kenya and thus was ineligible to run for the office of president.
Despite Fukino’s statements, the issue has continued to resonate from Capitol Hill to the national airwaves.
CNN’s Lou Dobbs demanded Obama’s original birth certificate. CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers of Lou Dobbs Tonight that the issue is a “dead” story, Kline told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Sunday.
In an e-mail, the Times reported, Klein wrote that CNN researchers determined that Obama’s 1961 birth certificate no longer exists because Hawaiian officials had discarded paper documents in 2001 — a claim denied Monday by Hawaiian health officials.
In 2001, Hawaii’s paper documents were reproduced in electronic format, but “any paper data prior to that still exists,” Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said.
Okubo would not say where Obama’s original birth certificate is but said, “We have backups for all of our backups.”
A congressional resolution introduced by Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of island statehood was delayed Monday.
The resolution includes a clause noting Obama’s Hawaiian birthplace. The line “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961” appeared to be construed by birthers as a thinly veiled attempt to get Congress to affirm Obama’s U.S. citizenship, said Dave Helfert, an Abercrombie spokesman.
As the issue came to a vote, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., rose to object, saying there was not a quorum present. The House later voted 378-0 to approve the resolution. Bachmann voted in favor of the resolution.
Birthers denounce the notion that Obama was born in Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, despite court rulings and statements by Fukino and Hawaii’s Republican governor, Linda Lingle.
Well, that's good news!
Since the above "document contain(s) ALL of the constitutionally required information," as you say, then he should simply bring it into the appropriate court -- where those "silly" birthers are challenging him -- and show it to the Judge and allow a panel of experts to authenticate it.
And, by all means, bring a statement by Fukino too!
It would be a lot cheaper than spending hundreds of thousands in legal fees fighting discovery not to mention all the unessary court time being wasted on an issue he could so EASILY address -- don't you think?
The above would seem, to a reasonable person, to be the most straightforward way to handle those pesky "birthers" -- don't you think?
Oh, and did I mention how much cheaper it would be?
Some of those kooky birthers have even gone so far as to say that he may be hiding something!!
Now why would ANYONE think that?
