Very odd, isn’t it. Why would he refuse to release his birth certificate? What is Obama hiding?
Father’s name probably.
After looking on the website for Hawaiian Genealogy - http://www.hawaiian-roots.com - I noticed that part of the information contained on the birth certificate for that state is the race of each parent.
Perhaps the certificate lists his father's race as something other than African-Negro? Something like African-Arab (as was listed on his father's Kenyan citizenship.)
This, if true, is certainly information that the Obama campaign would not want released to the Black community in America, who, at least in my experience, have no love lost for Arabs.
