The only reference I could find to this is as follows:
When we spoke to a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health, she said too much was being made of the difference between the so-called “long” and “short” forms.
“They’re just words,” said spokeswoman Janice Okubo. “That (what was posted on the Internet) is considered a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii.”
“”There’s only one form of birth certificate,” she said, and it’s been the same since the 1980s. Birth certificates evolve over the decades, she said, and there are no doubt differences between the way birth certificates looked when Obama was born and now.
“When you request a birth certificate, the one you get looks exactly like the one posted on his site,” she said. “That’s the birth certificate.””
All I can tell is that something is fishy with that. And as I said before, I don’t have a screen shot of the PREVIOUS DHHL site that specifically requested the LONG FORM, not the PRINT OUT. So there is(was) a difference obviously, or a State Agency wouldn’t be requesting it.
Maybe the ping list has someone with a screen shot of the previous DHHL site.
