Obama has already made public two accounts of his birth certificate. One, is his published biography where he describes in detail the contents of his Hawaii birth certificate. Two, is his pre-election public website publishing an (arguably) official Hawaii record of his birth certificate. It seems to me these two public self-disclosures, truthful or not, greatly reduce his claim of privacy (vs public record) of his vault copy Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth.

Excellent question.
Good point about the privacy, and if I recall correctly it was brought up very early in the Certifigate threads, maybe some time in June or July.
I checked the birth certificates of everyone in our family, from 1958-1996, issued by 4 different states. I have also been the team mom for baseball/football over the past 12 yrs., all kids must provide a birth certificate. I have never run across anything like what he provided. All had the same basic information. I am 45 and recently I had to get a copy of my BC, it is not the long form but, it still had a lot more information than what he produced. The thing that struck me on his COLB was that there was not a embossed seal nor signatures.
