If that document is faked, then rabbit hole goes quite deep:

"When the birth certificate arrived from the Obama campaign it confirmed his name as the other documents already showed it. Still, we took an extra step: We e-mailed it to the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records, to ask if it was real.
'It?s a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,' spokesman Janice Okubo told us."
...
"When the official documents were questioned, we went looking for more answers. We circled back to the Department of Health, had a newsroom colleague bring in her own Hawaii birth certificate to see if it looks the same (it?s identical). But every answer triggered more questions.
And soon enough, after going to every length possible to confirm the birth certificate?s authenticity, you start asking, what is reasonable here?
Because if this document is forged, then they all are.
If this document is forged, a U.S. senator and his presidential campaign have perpetrated a vast, long-term fraud. They have done it with conspiring officials at the Hawaii Department of Health, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Illinois Secretary of State?s office, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies."
...
"The Hawaii Department of Health receives about a dozen e-mail inquiries a day about Obama?s birth certificate, spokesman Okubo said.
'I guess the big issue that?s being raised is the lack of an embossed seal and a signature,' Okubo said, pointing out that in Hawaii, both those things are on the back of the document. 'Because they scanned the front ? you wouldn?t see those things.'
Okubo says she got a copy of her own birth certificate last year and it is identical to the Obama one we received. "
The document on the site is real. Government officials say it's real. Obama was born in Hawaii. Find something else to start another conspiracy thread.
