There is no way a cover letter would work to certify anything, unless the chain of provenance was unbroken. IOW, if the HDOH sent directly to a judge a cover letter saying that what was in the envelope was certified, then the cover letter could have meaning. That’s how it works with academic transcripts and such. But unless a person documents exactly what comes out of that envelope, a certifying cover letter would only be a signed blank check. I can’t see any court in the country accepting anything that way. That’s why certified records have to have a seal.
You are really desperately stretching if you would throw away the need for authenticating marks on documents. We may as well wear a sign on our foreheads saying, “Kick me”. Anybody could make any claim, with no way of knowing what really came from the authorities.
Of course, when the authorities break laws and rules at will and with impunity, the whole society has a sign that says, “Kick me”. And that’s exactly what’s happening.
They can use their BLACKBERRIES and be perfectly happy.
Now, among other things this person does is establish a document control system. He's in total and complete control. If he says it's a document, then it's a document. If he says it's not a document, then it's not. He says what is secret, what is privileged, what is crypto cosmic, whatever.
If Obama has a document he wants a court to accept as legitimate, that's what the court will do. After all, where else would they turn?

It is frustrating as hell that now that Obama released this long form, even conservatives and FReepers are falling prey to the Alinsky tactic of going along with the mainstream and mocking people trying to determine the truth.
Fact: Obama never claimed once by word or deed that the original COLB was his or legit.
Fact: he had attorneys fight for years against having to show a BC. He even let a good military officer go to jail over it.
The above two facts allowed a lot of suspicion about why this President, the most international of any other, would wish to deny or hide his origins.
Fact: when the public was pushing this issue into critical mass, he shows up with a long form BC.
Fact: there are some very weird things about this long form, like no official seal, different fonts within the same word, etc. Nothing that proves it was a forgery, but things that prove it isn’t pure or original.
Fact: relatively no one cares that this long form has problems. On the left or the right, the chant is that “birthers will never be satisfied.”. Obviously an Alinsky tactic to mock anyone who says this suspicious document isn’t quite the answer to all questions.
For two years we knew that there was a good chance thT Obama could put out a fake and make everyone happy, because the Hawaiian officials have been proven to support the President to the point of obfuscating and breaking laws.
I do not care where Obama was born; if he was born in Hawaii, so be it.
But any conservatives mocking the good people who have demonstrated that there are things wrong, big things wrong, with Obama’s holy long form, are sucked in to Obama’s Alinsky Job. Their priority is to mock, rather than to discover the truth.
Maybe we will all be reading the fascinating truth in 2053 in the detailed historical book, and forgetting how many of us went along with the media back in 2011, um, if we live so long.
