But there is something on that original that he does not want the world to see.

I'm thinking he is older than he says, and so wouldn't be a eligible if he was born before Hawaii became a state.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater

"Goldwater was born on January 1, 1909 in Phoenix, in what was then the Arizona Territory, the son of Baron Goldwater and his wife, Hattie Josephine ("JoJo") Williams. His father's Jewish American family had founded Goldwater's, the largest department store in Phoenix. Goldwater's mother came from an old Yankee family that included the famous theologian, Roger Williams of Rhode Island."

Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before it became a state. Was he eligible to run for President, and eligible to serve as President if he had won?

Barry Goldwater, unlike BO, had two American citizen parents.

When Hawaii became a state, I believe there was something in the act that granted citizenship to people born there for many years before statehood.
