Letter to the editor:

Obama needs to show his birth certificate

The column by The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson in Tuesday’s Sun makes the claim that “No reason exists for taking ‘birthers’ seriously.” Remarkably, he supports his claim with a falsehood.

He tells us that state officials in Hawaii have produced Obama’s birth certificate. What they produced was a “Certificate of Live Birth,” something quite different from a birth certificate. Perhaps Mr. Robinson should answer this question: If Obama has nothing to hide, why does he not voluntarily release his real birth certificate?
