I THOUGH THIS MIGHT NOT INFLUENCE A BIRTHER

but I decided to post it on Politico anyway:

The state health director said yesterday she has personally seen and verified Sen. Barack Obama's original birth certificate in an effort to address numerous requests for the document.

State law prohibits the release of a birth certificate except to a person seeking his or her own certificate and the person's spouse, parent and legal guardian.

Health Director Chiyome Fukino said she and the vital statistics registrar viewed and verified Obama's birth certificate.

Here's one birthers response:

confirmed the short form.

anyone from any country could have recieved a short form in Hawaii until 1972 by simply claiming they were born there.

It was a loophole caused by late statehood.

But, if Obama was born in Hawii, there is a long form.

If I were Obama, I could stop all this by producing a copy of the long form.

Why does he refuse?

McCain produced his?
