Reply #29: The birth certificatet with the footprints is from the hospital, not the state

[Tx4obama]

the hospital document with the footprints is not certified by the state and does not have a state seal - it is not valid for applying for a passport, drivers license, or running for president.

I also have the hospital document with footprints and even a little pink bow attached to the top - it is good for nothing other than looking at and then putting it back into a baby book to keep with other mementos.

The form that President Obama released - the certified one with the state seal - is the official one that is needed to 'legally' prove birth and citizenship.

I think the more that the republicans make hay out of this issue the worse they make themselves look :)
