but I'm curious why the Hawaii Dept of Health or BOs birth hospital don't produce the certificate?

Privacy issues, only BO can produce it, and he claims to have.

Thanks,

I just found the following on Michelle Malkin’s site:

“We tried to obtain a copy of Obama’s birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.
“

“We” being the St. Petersburg Times.

Just like John Fing Kerry’s military records.

What do you make of this argument that I posited a few days ago?

I’d like to see more pressure put on the state of Hawaii to protect and defend the authenticity of its legal documents by exposing this as a fraud.

I can understand not wanting to release vital statistics about a person, but it must be in Hawaii's own interest to expose a forgery being passed around as an authentic Hawaiian document. Hawaii should owe no obligation to a person named on a forged document. It is Hawaii's responsibility as a government to expose a fraud done in their name and protect the legitimacy of its legal documents for its own citizens' sake.

It's time for Hawaii to make a statement about the authenticity of this document.
