Obama 'birth hospital' hides White House letterNEW YORK Obama's alleged birth hospital has locked in a storage vault a letter President Obama purportedly wrote to the hospital on Jan. 24, 2009, declaring it his birthplace.

In an email exchange with WND, Slom's office staff confirmed that Martha Smith, the hospital's chief operating officer, said a copy of the Obama letter is currently hung in the administrative section of the hospital, away from public view, while the original is stored for "safekeeping and preservation."
They need explicit permission from him to release anything; the letter would have to say something like, "I give you permission to release my birth record to anyone who asks." The hospital could not ask him for permission to release for a nonmedical reason. And who the heck knows why he wouldn't give it - hiding something, or enjoying the side show of those who question being made to look like conspiracy theorists.
