When is Obama going to show that COLB he proclaimed to the world as a genuine document from Hawaii?

Since Hawaii state officials confirm that the relevant information contained in the COLB matches the state's vital record, namely that he was born in Hawaii, I don't see why this would be necessary.

I suppose it's still technically possible that he forged the COLB that was photographed by Factcheck. However, if the state vital record says he was born in Hawaii, then he can easily get a real COLB that would also say he was born in Hawaii. Why would he forge a COLB when he could easily get a real one that says he was born in Hawaii? It would be absurd.

I don’t see how it is necessary to raise all this ruckus in avoiding to present your birth certificate when it is required for a constitutional postion you hold. Obama just needs to fork it over and then all you smart people can laugh at the “birthers.”

Statements from Hawaii are not going to fly. I'd like to see those Hawaiian state officials deposed in court. Obama should submit all his birth documents, the original hard copies that support what is written in the "vital records" that are held in their computer database to be presented in court. Everything.
