Exactly my point. No one flew anywhere to pick up anything. It was never a paper document, at least not in the whole that it is being presented.
That’s not what the Governor’s office said in their press release:
“President Obama authorized Ms. Corley to pick up the documents. On April 25, 2011, Ms. Corley appeared in person at the Hawaii State Department of Health building in Honolulu, paid the requisite fee, and was given the two certified copies, a response letter from Director Fuddy to President Obama, and a receipt for payment.”

And in Dr. Fuddy’s letter she says they made two certified copies.

But I’m sure their all lying.
Until someone files an actual criminal complaint with a law enforcement agency and that law enforcement agency conducts a real criminal investigation, we’ll never know for certain if there is a paper, hard copy vault edition of a birth vital record.
In the six and a half years since February, 2007, when Obama first announced his candidacy, no law enforcement agency has conducted a forgery investigation. A volunteer, tax-exempt educational posse’ that is adjunct to a sheriff’s office doesn’t count.
