Ask yourself why Obama won't release his actual birth certificate which the state of Hawaii says it has. Why would Obama only release a certificate stating he has a birth certificate?
The certificate says "Certificate of Live Birth" across the top. The actual certificate that is pictured is, in fact, and actual birth certificate.
BCspace, a birth certificate is a piece of paper. The government does whatever it can to make it a unique and meaningful document, but ultimately, it's just a fancy piece of paper (and that piece of paper is probably now just a paper record of data stored in a computer). A person can have many copies of a birth certificate. I have two. I have sent copies to different colleges and local governments for various purposes. And each copy was as valid as the other.
So your argument boils down to you for some reason not liking the fancy piece of paper they
have produced, and stating that you would find a different fancy piece of paper to be more convincing and authoritative. Is that really the case?
And what do you mean "release"? How do you "release" an "actual birth certificate"? Do you just show it to people? Do you send it to everyone that has a doubt about his birth place? Is that a good thing to do with an original document? Should they setup a little viewing room in Hawaii (at government expense) where any interested person (both Obama worshippers and doubting Thomases alike) can come and view the birth certificate as it sits in plexiglass?
If you are suggesting there is some way for you to have "verified" Obama's birth place without actually seeing the birth certificate, then you would have to explain why your methodology is more sound than the one we have right now: The Government of Hawaii has released a certified, official copy of a birth certificate that in every way is as valid as an original.
