As witnesses, until they are under oath in a court room, their statements are meaningless. And, I cannot imagine anyone getting away with saying "My state official says I was born in such-and-such state" when required to present a birth certificate. There are reasons American citizens all have legal documentation showing who we are, and that is all people are asking for--legal documentation of President Obama's citizenship.

Okay, this is what we have: hearsay evidence by President Obama's supporters, hearsay evidence by Hawaiian officials who carefully parse their words, a birth announcement in a paper, and an image on a private website. May I sell you the Brooklyn bridge?
