However when the St. Petersburg Times newspaper sent a copy of the Certificate that Obama posted on his web site to the Hawaii Health Department back in June, Janice Okubo, Director of Communications for the Hawaii Health Department verified that it was genuine, not fake.

That is not what she said.

This is what she actually said :

When the birth certificate arrived from the Obama campaign it confirmed his name as the other documents already showed it. Still, we took an extra step: We e-mailed it to the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records, to ask if it was real. “It’s a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,” spokesman Janice Okubo told us.

They conveniently left out what she went on to say :

“When we looked at that image you guys sent us, our registrar, he thought he could see pieces of the embossed image through it.” Still, she acknowledges: “I don’t know that it’s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents.”

So they can't confirm that the copy posted on the site is a legitimate copy.It may resemble one, but it can't be authenticated .

I agree, and this is what destroys the "image of the COLB" is a fake argument
