Chris, The difference is you can be born outside Hawaii and get a short form birth certificate!!! You must have a long form birth certificate to prove birth in Hawaii. Have you seen that? No. How do you know Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen of the US? You don't. You have taken it on faith. I don't.
There is a big difference between what snopes shows on their site and a legitimate long form birth certificate. It is not a rumor but an issue critical to this Republic - are we going to follow the Constitution or not?
