Lou Dobbs Right on Obama Birth Certificate

The Associated Press is wrong and Lou Dobbs is right.
This past weekend, the AP published a story entitled "CNN's Dobbs Under Fire for Hosting 'Birthers'".
The AP began their highly critical story on Dobbs:
"He's become a publicity nightmare for CNN, embarrassed his boss and
hosted a show that seemed to contradict the network's 'no bias' brand."
And what is Dobbs'
"crime?" He has said on air that Obama should release his birth
certificate and has had on his show guests who suggested Obama was born
outside the U.S.
Dobbs
does not believe Obama was born outside the U.S., nor does Newsmax. The
evidence indicates he was born in Hawaii. But the indisputable fact is
that Obama has not released his birth certificate, which the state of
Hawaii issues for all citizens born there. The AP implies that Obama
has not released a "long version of his birth certificate." But there
is no such thing as a long version of a birth certificate.
Instead, Obama's campaign last year released only his Certification of
Live Birth from the state of Hawaii, which is a document that offers a
summarized version of the birth certificate. Even state residents born
outside the U.S. can get one.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, GOP nominee Sen. John McCain
quickly released his birth certificate when liberal bloggers raised
questions about his eligibility to be president. McCain was born at a
military hospital in Panama.
Obama likewise could put the matter to rest by releasing his actual
birth certificate, which would show, among other things, the place of
his birth and the doctor who performed the birth procedure.
This information is not provided on the Certification of Live Birth.
As it stands, Obama is the only president in history whose birthplace
is unknown to the public – a fact that would be stated on the actual
birth certificate. Interestingly, his family has mentioned two
different hospitals in Hawaii as the place of birth.
Obama’s refusal to release his birth certificate does mean that Obama
remains one of America’s most mysterious and opaque presidents ever.
Obama, for example, has not released many other documents regarding his public and private life.
Many of these documents were sought by reporters, who easily acquiesced
when Obama said he would not release them – though most presidential
candidates release them as a perfunctory matter.
Among the key documents that Obama continues to shield from the public:
• Obama released just one brief document detailing his personal health.
McCain, on the other hand, released what he said was his complete
medical file, totaling more than 1,500 pages.
• Obama refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in
Illinois. Nor did he produce correspondence, such as his schedules of
appointments or letters from lobbyists, from his days in the Illinois
state Senate.
• Obama did not release his client list as an attorney or his billing
records. He maintained that he performed only a few hours of legal work
for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago
businessman convicted of fraud in June 2008 but did not release billing
records that would prove this assertion.
• Obama ignored requests for his records from Occidental College, where
he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia University.
• Obama’s campaign refused to give Columbia, where he earned an
undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his
transcripts. Former President George W. Bush and presidential
contenders Al Gore and John Kerry all released their college
transcripts.
• Obama did not agree to the release of his application to the Illinois
State Bar, which would have cleared up intermittent allegations that
his application may have been inaccurate.
• Obama did not release records from his time at Harvard Law School.
• During the presidential campaign, McCain’s campaign released a full
list of all online donors. Obama’s campaign still has not released the
names of those who donated at least one-third of the $750 million he
raised.
Ironically, Obama accused the Bush White House of being "one of the
most secretive administrations in our history," and chided then-Sen.
Hillary Clinton for not releasing her White House schedules.
