Why short forms fall short
There's a story within the story of Barack Obama's refusal to show the American people anything other than the so-called "short-form" birth certificate.
In fact, there are a multitude of stories within the story.
We always have to start with the reasons it is not acceptable for determining something as important as eligibility for the presidency.
I recently conducted a little experiment. I called three passport offices with the following apocryphal tale: I said I needed to apply for a passport but only had a short-form certification of live birth from Hawaii. Would that suffice? The three passport offices I contacted were in Hawaii, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.
Hawaii said "no problem."
Washington and Virginia both said no way.
Same country, different responses.
In fact, if you visit most post offices around the country, you will see signs posted about passport application requirements that specifically say, "no certifications of life birth," must be long form.
So here we are. The one document Barack Obama's campaign released to prove he was constitutionally eligible to serve as president may not be good enough to get a passport, unless you apply in Hawaii.

Hawaii is so full of crap.

Washington and Virginia both said no way.

Interesting because passport offices are Federal and should therefore have the same requirements everywhere.
Damn interesting.........
