Because there is a difference between saying something, and producing Prima Facie evidence.

One is hearsay, the other is a legal document.

The question being glossed over is this, What generated that COLB? Once that question is answered, we can address LEGALLY the fact that Obama was born British as well as American, and THAT discussion is the one Obama REALLY doesn't want to talk about.

Notice how the talking heads are pointing at the "Prima Facie Evidence" notation on the COLB? That is what they are resting on isn't it? The Certificate of Live Birth - the Long Form is the only document which generates the Certification of Live Birth the COLB, yet the Long form isn't Prima Facie evidence... well lets look a tthe defination of Prima Facie:

From Legal Dictionary: Law.com http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1598

"prima facie

: (pry-mah fay-shah) adj. Latin for "at first look," or "on its face," referring to a lawsuit or criminal prosecution in which the evidence before trial is sufficient to prove the case unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial. A prima facie case presented to a Grand Jury by the prosecution will result in an indictment. Example: in a charge of bad check writing, evidence of a half dozen checks written on a non-existent bank account makes it a prima facie case. However, proof that the bank had misprinted the account number on the checks might disprove the prosecution's apparent "open and shut" case."

"unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial" What is Obama using the COLB to prove? Natural Born Citizenship, only it doesn't prove Natural Born Citizenship, because it does not list the parents birthplace, something which is necessary in determining Citizenship!!! Only the Long Form can do that.
