McCain showed his birth certificate when requested so as not to cause a ruckus.

McCain showed his birth certificate, in private, to a Washington Post Reporter and no one else. He did not make an image of it available to the public.

Obama showed a physical copy of his certification of live birth to Factcheck.com. He didn't show a vault copy of the birth certificate, but the Hawaiian certification of live birth is just as good when it comes to proving your place of birth before any court of law or any Federal Agency. He allowed them to photograph it and post the photos on the internet.

I don't see how anyone can possibly argue that Obama was any less transparent than McCain in proving his place of birth. If anything, he was more so.

How do you know that if he produced his long form birth certificate it would not please the people asking him to do it?

Because the very same people say he would be ineligible even if born in Hawaii since his father wasn't a US citizen.

Wrong. McCain also showed his BC to the members of Senate Judiciary committee and that fact was entered into the Congressional Record as evidence so that they could pass that Senate Resolution declaring Arizona's senior Senator a NBC and eligible for the Presidency.

One of your Obot pals on this thread says McCain gave it to a Senate Committee as requested. Spin, baby, spin!

The COLB you mentioned... states that Obama’s race is “African”. Can you explain why this is?

“African” was not one of the valid choices used to describe a baby’s race. Babies of this category were usually called something else.... ie. Negro.
