A very astute new observation was made in the eligibility thread earlier this morning.
Because Hawaii, it has now been revealed, routinely issued “certificates of live birth” to foreign children born outside of Hawaii, for administrative utility and strictly on the basis of one relative’s filling out a request form— one must wonder that it is a “COLB” that Obama has published online—and not a genuine “birth certificate” that records doctor, hospital and more.
By his putting this type of document online, it seems to make all the more conspicuous his lack of showing a true birth certificate.
Official statements from Hawaii have never stated there is a birth certificate on file that shows Obama as having been born there. Only that a certificate is on file. Notable that the key criterion was left out of any statement.
It appears the sympathetic Obama media has played fast with the truth in claiming otherwise.
“A very astute new observation “
Hardly “new!” You must be new to this subject. This has been a major part of the argument for months. There was some talk that his half-sister, who was born in Indonesia, had a certificate. But I believe that has been proven to be false. There’s so much written about this case, that it’s hard to keep track of everything.
Yes, that observation is astute - but it’s certainly not new. I agree, though, that Obama *could* have averted some of these questions had *both sides* of his COLB been scanned (the clerk’s certification and seal markings are allegedly on the back). Seems sort of stupid to NOT show that important part (unless it was added after the questions started flying).
