And you can't ignore the photos and Hawaii's confirmation.

Hawaii confirmed nothing about the internet COLB purported to be Barry O's. Hawaii only stated that there was a birth certificate on file. And since you could be born outside Hawaii and yet have a certificate on file in Hawaii, the fact that Hawaii confirmed the existence of a certificate says nothing about the actual place of birth. And we do have an eyewitness claiming to have been present at his birth in Kenya.

Senior official in the State of Hawaii's Department of Health, Director of Communications Janice Okubo, in her most comment on the purported Birth Certificate image that appears on the Obama "Fight the Smears" propaganda site: "I don't know that it's possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents."

There's a whole birther mythology about this issue that includes a number of elements. These elements are almost entirely false. Among them are the claims that Hawaii only confirmed they have "A" birth certificate, and that anyone born outside Hawaii can get one.

These things are not true. Be very skeptical of all the birther claims. Demand proof. Most of them are not true.
