The Obama birth certificate plot thickens ...

Okay, so Barack Obama got away with becoming President using an abridged Certificate of Live Birth instead of a vault copy of the original birth certificate. And Anderson Cooper says this is okay. Well a friend of mine, a born US Citizen of US parents, grandparents and whatever, went to apply for a US Passport, and took along her certificate of live birth. Guess what? The US Passport office refused to accept her certificate of live birth. Told her she needed her original vault copy. So, how come you can become President with a certificate of live birth, but for a passport you need a vault copy? mmmmmmmm!!!
