Re: To the Birthers

It's about time.  Dare we hope now that "Mister Transparency" will release all the other hidden records - such as his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records?

The obvious questions about the release of the birth certificate are:

1.  Why did it take so long?  This could have easily been done long ago and pretty much put an end to the questions.

2.  Will the other hidden records be produced?

3.  Is the certificate genuine?  You can bet that it will be examined to the minutest degree and any real or imagined discrepencies will be displayed and discussed.  One would think that if the certificate were bogus that it would be of the very highest quality and any alterations or other forgery would be almost impossible to detect. Then again, perhaps it might be as bungled as much of the rest of Obama's presidency. 

Here is what I noticed:

Obama's just-produced BIrth Certificate:

Take a look at line 6a

Why does the line line on the printed form which reads:

Name or Hospital or Institution (If not in hospital or institution, give street address)

look more like

^Name or ^Hospital or ^Institution (^If not in ^hospital or institution, give street ^address)

Remember, that is a part of the already printed form, thus it could not have happened due to a quirky typewriter.

And, it does not appear that way on other Hawaii Birth Certificates of the same era.

1961 Birth Certificate from the same hospital:

Line 6a of the above certificate

1963 Birth Certificate which used the identical printed form:

Line 6a of the above 1963 certificate

Say what you will, it IS a discrepency - and there are other similar misaligned portions as well.
