And thats fine. That's all anyone ever asked for. Keep in mind that Obama made the big deal out of this by NOT showing it a lot sooner. He could have avoided this hoopla a long time ago.
Well, all of the doubts about his citizenship began in 2008 to my recollection. He released an image of his birth certificate on June 12, 2008.
Sure, people claimed it was photoshopped, but apparently people were also harassing the Hawaii Department of Health regarding his birth certificate. Although you can't obtain a certified copy of someone else's birth certificate, they are public records.
So why didn't any of the birthers who looked into this produce the information that they obtained from public records? Did they think the public records had been tampered with as well? If that's the case, then I don't see why this certified birth certificate would make any difference to them, which I think is the point Obama was trying to make.
