davidfarrar commented on The difference between Harry Reid and a birther

"Harry Reid's just like those birthers who hounded Barack Obama into proving he was an American citizen." But Obama hasn't "proven" anything. In fact, according to the Office of Inspector General of the The Department of Health and Human Services, "A birth certificate is "Proof" only that a birth occurred and was recorded."* What this means is, the only thing Obama's two Hawaiian birth certificate prove is that a child named Barack H. Obama was born alive and the Hawaiian Health Department recorded it. The rest, as they say, "has to be proven the old fashioned way...by a preponderance of evidence." If there is no independent, corroborative evidence to substantiate the information contained on Obama's two birth certificates, an examination of the Hawaiian Health Department records should be undertaken immediately to trace the evidence the Hawaiian Health registrar used to create their file and trace their path to a live birth decision. When you stop and consider what's at stake here; how hard can this be when the worse case scenario for Barack Obama is that he's proven qualified? ex animo davidfarrar * My source: http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-99-00570.pdf
