Such short-form COLB-type abstracts were originally created to serve much the same purpose as the true birth certificate copies (it really doesn't take any more effort for a government Vital Statistics department to produce a birth certificate than it does to turn out a COLB) for individuals who didn't have all the “long-form” information on file in the government's archives.

People who had been born outside the U.S.A., for example, like Barry's maternal half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, who had been born in Djakarta, Indonesia.

And then there's this. Sherrill, what you're taking for Barry's “Certificate of Live Birth” are computer graphic images supposedly scanned from a Hawaii state COLB Barry had gotten for himself in 2007.

The image of a stamped, sealed, print-on-paper legal document isn't the real document itself. Nobody outside of Barry Soetoro's circle of sycophants has ever seen or touched or even lightly examined that paper document, and he won't produce it, won't hand it over to be examined.

If Barry has such a COLB, he should be happy to give the damned thing to his enemies – he can always get another one from the state government of Hawaii – and tell 'em to shove it up their collective ass.

But he hasn't done that. Instead, he's either directly spent or received in the form of a kind of gift-of-service over a million dollars (one recent estimate is $1.3 million) to fight off “birther” lawsuits that have sought nothing more than that bloody birth certificate.

Why the hell is he struggling like this? What is in that COLB – or in the government vaults in Hawaii – that literally scares the shit out of Barry Soetoro?

How about a link to the “emerging story?”

When Obama went on vacation to Hawaii, it was because of the birth certificate, when he went to visit his dying grandmother, it was because of the birth certificate. When Rahm Emmanuel went on vacation to Africa, it was because he snuck into Kenya to secretly meet with Kenyan officials about the birth certificate. And now, Hillary is supposedly in Kenya to participate in the conspiracy, never mind the fact that that makes no sense for several reasons: One, wouldn't it make more sense to send someone less high-profile than Hillary Clinton to secretly reinforce the cover up? And two, why would Hillary even consider participating in a conspiracy that prevented her from becoming president? Don't you think she'd be a little upset if she found out the man she came so close to beating in the primaries was an illegitimate president?

This is why no one takes you birthers seriously, because you are willing to accept anything that even remotely fits into your narrative, no matter how ridiculous it is. This whole “anyone who goes anywhere near Africa or Hawaii is reinforcing the cover-up” meme is a perfect example of the stupidity and moronic thinking behind the birther movement.

But ratting out your neighbors to the Soviets cannot be undone.
