“Forget about Obama’s birth certificate and do something productive.”
Inclined to agree: not a very likely scenerio of anything happening before December 15th.
“You say that, but what did George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, etc say. It was too hard? I think not.”
I may be incorrect, but I seriously doubt any of them had a “Birth Certificate”.

History
The documentation of births is a practice widely held through out human civilization especially in China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Persia. The original purpose of birth registration was for tax purposes and for the determination of available military manpower. Births were initially registered with churches, who maintained registers of births. This practice continued into the 19th century.[1] The compulsory registration of births with governmental agencies is a practice that originated in the United Kingdom in 1853. [1]
Most countries have statutes and laws that regulate the registration of births. In all countries, it is the responsibility of the mother’s physician, midwife, hospital administrator, or the parents of the child to see that the birth is properly registered with the appropriate government agency.
The actual record of birth is stored with a government agency. That agency will issue certified copies or representations of the original birth record upon request, which can be used to apply for government benefits, such as passports. The certification is signed and/or sealed by the registrar or other custodian of birth records, who is commissioned by the governmen
