The document depicted is a COLB. I thought he supposedly produced such a thing, and that what we want to see now is the Birth Certificate.

That document floating around the internet is a Certification of Live Birth, not a Certificate of Live Birth (birth certificate).
The document depicted is NOT a COLB. It is a ‘Certificate of Live Birth’. It is also known as the long form birth certificate, and as the vault copy. It is THE birth certificate, ie, it provides all pertinent information about the newborn, and about the parents - including the “Island, State, or FOREIGN COUNTRY birthplace of the parents.
THIS particular example - the Nordyke birth certificate - is circa Obama’s birth. The Nordyke’s twin daughters were born in Honolulu one day after Obama’s birth.
The document known as a COLB is a different document. It is an ‘abstract’ of the Certificate of Live Birth - a shortened version, which omits almost all details and particulars of the birth and of the parents, and as we’ve seen, is easily forged.
COLB does not stand for ‘certificate of live birth’. COLB stands for CertificaTION of Live Birth.
The terms can be a bit confusing to anyone who hasn't followed all of this closely.
Certification of Live Birth. A short form abstract of basic information taken from the original birth certificate. It does not include information such as delivering physician, signatures, birth hospital, parent's birthplaces and occupations, etc.
Certificate of Live Birth: The original long form birth certificate, which includes all of the detailed information that isn't on the short form.
The short form is what's normally referred to when you see the acronym, COLB. The acronym, LFBC is used when referring to the long form birth certificate (as what's shown in the image at the top of the thread).
Just word games they play so they can say we never said it was official.
But what do I know about the least transparent P in history.
I think we might be playing with semantics with that question. I had to get my certified birth certificate when I got my passport to go on my honeymoon twenty five years ago. It had the same information as this, and was noted as an “Official Certificate of Live Birth.” It had the signatures, and what-not and a raised seal.
The “short form” would have cost me $10 less, but was not good for passports. The “short form” is what Obama showed.
