Hawaiian birth certificates in 1961 were black with white print. This style was through at least November 1968 at Kapiolani Medical Center (and at all Hawaiian hospitals). See http://www.homegrownhawaii.com/boards/thread.aspx?tid=184&group=HH, which is a website where Hawaiians indicated which hospital they were born and described what their birth certificates looked like.

There is a report in 1968 that another style of Birth Certificate was being used, such as was described in this article. Green, but with black type and a statehood seal. But given the timeframe of Obama’s birth, 1961, his birth certificate would have been black with white print, the style used by all Hawaiian hospitals at that time. The copy shown in this article was definitely not a copy of the original.

cahome: I agree with both of your posts. There are some on FR who want Obama to win it seems. And as with any Dim presidential nominee, Obama is unvetted. He needs to be fully vetted as all GOP nominee are including looking at his past and looking at his present views.

LS51: Thanks for the information. That certainly makes it sound like the author of this thread is correct about that .JPEG not being real. Of course possibly Obama was born at a hospital using non-standard forms, but that remains to be seen.

To both of you: Doesn't it just seem odd the Obama campaign has not released an official copy of his birth certificate. It is such a simple thing and it would end any speculation about what it says. I don't see that it could contain anything important enough to be worth hiding?

Not really a relevant point. New York City won’t give you a copy of your original birth certificate either. You get a new nicely typed document on a pink and blue intaglio printed background with the registrar’s signature printed as part of the background.
