You've bought the spin. The officials in HI have stated that they have verified there is a vault copy (original). They have not stated any of the details. There is still question. IIRC, HI has a law on the books that says they'll issue a BC even if not born in HI (place of birth would be noted, however), it has been linked on many threads here. I'll see if I can find it.
The simplest of answers to the most basic of questions. Why won't B.O. release it?
The court noted that the certification had a raised seal from the state of Hawaii, had a stamp bearing the signature of the registrar of vital statistics. The court found “wholly unpersuasive” any of the internet claims that the birth certificate was altered in any way. Furthermore, the document itself was accompanied by an affidavit from the State Health Director (of Hawaii) verifying that the document is an authentic certification of live birth. The court held that there could be no doubt that the document was authentic unless one believed that the state of Hawaii’s health department were in on an elaborate and complex conspiracy – and that there is not a shred of evidence that this is the case.
I'd like him to not be a valid US citizen as much as any of us but I don't see how this is spin. They have a certificate of live birth in Hawaii from what the court said. I do find it strange that we haven't been shown the real one - in fact it's worse than strange. We the people shouldn't have things like this hidden from us. Shows how much this creep respects us.
Because the released document suffices as proof that the state of Hawaii acknowledges BHO as a natural-born citizen, and that is enough, failing overriding proof of ineligibility (of which there is none of yet).
Circumstantial evidence of disqualification fails in light of certification of live birth in the USA. "I don't believe it" is not legal proof compelling disqualification. ...and given that, why the he11 would he want to disclose the original BC?
