You said — It probably says midwife or some such thing.

My dad was born in a shack, at least from what I could see of what was left of it, it was. No hospital and out in the country. He showed me the place, with only bare foundations left, out in the middle of nowhere. I guess that’s the kind of thing where you don’t have a birth certificate and you have to go somewhere and give the officials the information about it (since it was not in a hospital). And there was no midwife, from what I understand (for him, probably were some family members, but I’m only guessing).
And I’ve got two grandchildren not born in a hospital (at home), so I’ve never thought about their birth certificates, but I guess the same thing applies there, too (and with them, we’re talking only a mere few years ago...).
I suspect that there are quite a few, still born without birth certificates, these days. You’ve got to go somewhere and inform officials about a birth...
Not saying that this happened with Obama, because in his case, it was supposed to be in a hospital. I’m just saying that now that I think about it, I’ve got three people directly related to me that have not had birth certificates “officially” until going to government officials and supplying information to them and getting one that way.
Babies are born in odd places...back of taxi cabs, etc. I don’t know how that works in all states.
This could be his story:
I never saw the long birth certificate. I always believed what my grandmother Whitey told me.
Damn, I was born at home with no Doctor. Who knew?
Meanwhile, he was born in a hut in Kenya..or wherever it was. I think people are claiming it was a Hospital in Kenya.
