Many years ago Obama stated in his book first published in 1995 "I found a copy of my birth certificate folded in between the pages of a book".

August 21, 2008: "factcheck" says they have a copy of the COLB, which has an apparent date it was printed sometime on or about June 6, 2007.

How can the certificate Obama found in 1995 be the same printed in 2007, as the one "factcheck" "verified" in 2008?

November 1: Hawaii says they have seen a copy of the birth certificate.

The past day or so: CNN says the original birth certificate was 'destroyed' when the state went to 'electronic records' in 2001.

Today: The state re-iterates they have verified the original certificate again, and they still have it (it was not destroyed).

How can CNN report "the story is dead" and "the state of Hawaii" "destroyed the original" in 2001 when Obama supposedly had the certificate in 1995? How many people do you know have returned their birth certificate to the state after they have found it in their home?

I just don't get it....

Why does the US media avoid the issue, and obfuscate it by interchanging the terms "citizen" and "natural born citizen" in order to rewrite 'eligibility' and quell the story?

Why are all his records hidden or sealed from public record that would shed some light on the issue?

Why spend millions trying to hide (and keep hidden) all these records?
