Yes, it's bad. But it sounds like some of the 50 year old vital Hawaiian records might be in that form. That would explain why the state officials said that they had viewed the official records but did not specifically say the words "birth certificate".
Obama said he had a folded BC in his personal papers.
1. Obviously Hawaii issued birth certificates. The question is whether they kept physical copies of all the long forms from 50 years ago, or for some reason some of them were destroyed.
2. Obama said that he had come across a folded BC. This could just be the one issued at the time of his birth.
3. Why doesn't he just release that one? He may have lost it or the whole description in his book could have been "literary license" as some other things clearly were.
“The question is whether they kept physical copies of all the long forms from 50 years ago, or for some reason some of them were destroyed.”
Excellent question and here is what fukino said in 08
“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.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai’i.”
