Last night on Lou Dobbs, Dobbs claimed that the state of Hawaii destroyed the long form birth certificate when they went to electronic format eight years ago. Did anyone else hear this? If so, why isn't the long form available electronically? Or are they now claiming that they only have the short form?

I believe there are three possible scenarios here:

1) BO is not a U.S. citizen 2) BO is a US citizen but his certificate includes embarrassing information 3) BO is a US citizen but will not release certificate so conservatives focus on this issue instead of his proposed legislation

The Constitution clearly states that one must be a natural born citizen (rather than simply a citizen) to serve as President per Article 2, Section 1. Obama might be a citizen, but likely is not a natural born citizen. The 14th Amendment describes a natural born citizen. What Dobbs said would draw questions from me. The COLB does NOT prove natural born citizenship.
