I think if he produced a Certificate of Live Birth that showed he was born in Hawaii, birthers would insist it was a forgery. The NBC argument would continue.
No, I would accept a legitimate Certificate of Live Birth presented by an official from Hawaii, not by a third party. I think most "birthers" would as well.
However, you'd be foolish if you're willing to accept the word of “Fight the Smears” or Obama himself. That type of naivety got us into this mess in the first place.
The best we have is:
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures,” Department of Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.
The cryptic and carefully-worded statement offered no true details of the “birth certificate.” Obama could VERY EASY authorize the release of this information.
Officials are on record that there is an original “birth certificate” held by the state, and that it is correctly filed according to Hawaii state directives. However, the specifics of the type of “birth certificate” records on file as the “root document,” with or without modifications, as well as the details and accounts of witnesses, is still unknown at this time.
