A question of birth

I do not buy into the whole conspiracy over the location of Obama's birth but it makes me wonder why the certificate just isn't scanned into a PDF and posted on the web somewhere. From the London Daily Mail:

Hawaii governor claims record of Obama's birth 'exists in archives' but can't produce the vital document
Pressure was mounting on Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie today amid increasing confusion over whether President Obama was born there.

Abercrombie said on Tuesday that an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.

He told Honolulu's Star-Advertiser: 'It actually exists in the archives, written down,' he said.

But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama's birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate.

And in the same interview Abercrombie suggested that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.

He said efforts were still being made to track down definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii.

Abercrombie was asked: 'You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding President Barack Obama's birth certificate. How is that coming?'

Who doesn't have a birth certificate? Also, why are his college transcripts sealed -- if we elect someone we need to know who they are, warts and all.
