No word of how he got it-Team Barry isn't actually leaking to dKos, is it?-and naturally he misunderstands Jim Geraghty's point about Obama's place of birth, which would have been relevant not with respect to his "Americanness" but whether he was constitutionally qualified to run as a natural-born citizen. But here it is.
Update: Not that it matters for purposes of addressing Geraghty's concerns, but Flip notes that the posted document is a certification of birth, which is slightly different from a birth certificate.

I was wondering the same thing. If he was born in a hospital like they say he was; the birth certicate would be a birth certicate showing even the signature of the attening physcian and the family address; etc.
It would also most likely have a seal.
Race on my birth certicate they did ask for race personally I think it is fake all PJ Patrol freepers I think you need go Dan Rather on them
His certificate of birth he provided ud confirms what we all know: he's alive. No question there.
Now, if Obama wanted to make hay of, say, his being listed on his hospital birth certificate as being black (and his mom is NOT), he'd release it.
But he doesn't. He speaks to huge rallies in every city of America who couldn't care if he's striped and purple polka-dotted.
So we can rule out his angst at being labeled white.
So where is his angst, that he won't won't release the original?
Bingo!!!
Probably he doesn't have the original. I certainly don't have my original. Do you have yours?
You know, if your name is changed in certain legal proceedings, like an adoption, you can get a birth certificate reflecting the new name.
I know this because my birth certificate has a name I didn’t have until I was 9.
The hospital he was born in does. Your baby feetprints aren’t recorded just for cuteness’ sake.
That means "black" or "Jew" for you young guys.
It's become less common these days as folks have had their titles, covenants, deeds of conveyance, etc. adjusted to meet modern standards. After all, the prohibition of future sale to others on the basis of ethnicity is AGAINST THE LAW and would not be enforcible in court.
Justice Rehnquist got into a bit of trouble with the fact he'd left the deed to his house alone (to avoid legal fees I suppose) and had not had the offending phrase eliminated.
BTW, there's stuff going on in those machine generated copies you don't know about ~ but there are experts who do.
It's just a B.S. statement designed over the years by a committee of bureaucrats to delay issuance so they can eat lunch, screw around, or play with your head.

“African” (as I posted elsewhere) was commonly used in title deed restictions and covenants.
Well there goes one more crack pot theory down the drain.
Auto titles are much more important than birth records ~ next?
It’s not a birth certificate, it’s certification of live birth. I used to type them up at the hospital for 17 years. There’s a difference.
No, it needs to be completely investigated. If it turns out to be nothing; that is one thing. But it if turns out that Barack Obama is attempting to hide information which, if known, would disqualify him for Presidential eligibility per the Constitution, then you’ll be glad it was pursued.
As to the document posted by Kos, you might be interested to know that downloading their file and checking the properties reveals that this document was originated in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh. Thats not proof of forgery, but theres no date acquired listed which would have indicated this was scanned.
