That Hillbuzz article missed one of the more obvious reasons Obama won’t reveal his birth certificate. It has nothing to do with his father, adoption or ethnicity. The simplest reason is that his original birth certificate does not prove he was born in Hawaii. It may say he was born there, but it is missing appropriate doctor’s signatures, does not state a hospital as the place of birth, and or lists him as born ‘en route’ from a ship or airplane. Second, it likely has his mother’s college address in Seattle listed in addition to his grandmother’s address, the latter of which would have been considered his mother’s ‘permanent’ address while she was in school. In the absence of a doctor’s signature and conflicting addresses, Obama cannot provide any physical/documentary proof to show he was really born in Hawaii as his birth certificate might claim. Chances are good that he may not even know where he was born.

If Obama was not born at Kapi’olani Medical Center, as the Governor of Hawai’i has claimed and if he was not deliverd by Dr. Rodney T. West, I find it strange that Kapi’olani would risk the embarrassment of having claimed his birth there in their 100th Anniversary magazine when it could certainly come out later that the information was untrue.
Obama doesn’t have to prove where he was born. The state of Hawai’i has confirmed on a number of different occasions that he was born there and a state official has even declared him to be “a natural born American citizen.”
Obama’s opponents have to prove that there is evidence that he wasn’t born in Hawai’i.
