As you know, Obama's mother's side of family originally came from Kansas, I believe, where Obama sill has a lot of relatives from his mother's side of his family.
So tell me this: Let's suppose that Obama was involved in a dispute over a will of a rich Kansas relative who died and left Obama a lot of money in the will, but some of Obama's Kansas relatives were disputing the details of the will.
Let's suppose that in order to get his share of the will, Obama had to go to court to prove that he was who he said he was by presenting a copy of his birth certificate.
1. Tell me, do you seriously believe that a court in Kansas would accept the Obama short form birth certificate that we see on Obama's website as proof that Obama is who he says he is?
2. Also, do you seriously believe that a Kansas court would go to the trouble of downloading a copy of Obama's short form birth certificate from the internet like the rest of us had to do if Obama asked it to?
3. Or, is it more reasonable to expect the court to order Obama and his lawyers to show up in court with a fresh copy of his short or long form birth certificate that the state of Hawaii sent Obama, because it is not going to accept a copy of Obama's birth certificate that has been downloaded from the internet.
4. Myself, I don't think that a Kansas court would be very happy if Obama told the court something like this: If the court wanted a copy of his birth certificate, it could get one by simply downloading one from Obama's website.
5. And I don't think that the court would be very happy if Obama walked into court with a copy of his short form birth certificate that he downloaded from his own website, especially if Obama walked into court with a copy of his short form birth certificate where the number on the upper right side was blacked out like the short form birth certificate we see on several Obama sites.
6. Obama's short form birth certificate might be accepted in any court of law, but it won't be one that is downloaded from an Obama website.
7. In my opinion, it will have to be a copy of a birth certificate that Obama received fresh directly from the state of Hawaii on which the Hawaii seal is prominently displayed.
I'm not sure what your point is, though. Surely you are not suggesting that the only way for Obama to prove his eligibility to you would be to personally send to you a state-certified COLB with registrar's signature and seal.
