They gave a copy (a partial copy, as the portion of the "original" which contains medical information about the mother and infant is not released to requestors ever) to Obama in 2011. And that copy was scanned to the WH webpage.

Obama released this "document." If you contend that what Obama released is what Hawaii gave him, then they gave him an "abstract of the record on file", (meaning whatever has been put into the file for the last 50 years) not a certified copy of an "original" document.

We know this is so because they added that language "or abstract of the record on file" to the certification, which would not be necessary unless that was a real possibility.

In all cases in which someone certifies that something will be either a "bag of gold" *or* a "bag of sh*t", it's a safe bet that the bag will always contain sh*t.

Haha! Excellent!
