He did.

[null and void]

Because we've proved ourselves Ra^ther adept at detecting and publicizing fake but accurate documents.

[VoiceOfBruck]

Bcs he knows he’d be Dan Rathered before the ink was dry.

Let's move this FReepathon to:

GREEN!!!

[El Sordo]

Because he was born in Hawaii and has no need to create any forgeries?

[RetroSexual]

But, why didn’t he end all this controversy by just releasing a document he claimed was his long form birth certificate?

Probably he was concerned that the ever-vigilant watchdog media would uncover his forgery and then assist a Republican with their ascendancy to the Presidency.

[FreedBird]

Someone should hold a contest to guess why Obama will not release his records: birth certificate, school grades,
employment records, relationships? Maybe some of his old friends know why.

[3niner]

A fake document would have to contain many “facts” which could be investigated and proven false.

[Red Badger]

I think another option in all of this is that Obama’s decidedly taken a no-release-of-any-documents approach to life, because he used the name Barry Soetoro to gain all sorts of foreign student and financial aid perks and probably also used that identity to dodge the Selective Service requirements when American men turn 18.  I can’t for the life of me imagine Obama actually registering for Selective Service because: (1) he doesn’t seem to do anything he doesn’t want to do, and I can’t imagine him wanting to do this, (2) he certainly wasn’t raised to have a patriotic duty to register, and (3) registering wouldn’t have benefitted him in any way, so why would he bother

B I N G O ! ! !......

[stylin19a]

just like he did with his Selective Service registration

[Fresh Wind]

If his original BC was sealed by court order, why doesn’t he just come out and say that?

That would probably put the issue to rest, but instead he is stonewalling.

Why?

[Girlene]

But, why didn’t he end all this controversy by just releasing a document he claimed was his long form birth certificate?

Because he doesn't have to? The Constitution has requirements for eligibilty, but no recourse if someone doesn't meet the requirements and no entity (states, Congress, etc.) calls him/her on the eligibility.

[Netizen]

he did, or someone did, but, it was discovered to be a fake very quickly.

[the invisib1e hand]

The question highlighs the idea that the regime is nurturing the uncertainty.

[jersey117]

Because it would involve providing a doctor’s name.

[Travis McGee]

Not easy to do.

[jimbobfoster]

My understanding is that birth certificates are assigned numbers in order. You can’t fake one because all the numbers for a certain time period would already be used. You would have to take a number that would put it out of date sequence.

[FreedBird]

We need Columbo or some investigator to find out the truth about his birth.

[reasonisfaith]

“Why didn’t Obama just create a fake birth certificate and release that a long time ago?”

Funny—no, tragic—that nobody expects Obama to be restrained by moral considerations.
