I was going to speculate right here about the possible goldmine WND.com was making from their Barack Obama – “WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?” campaign.

Their website sells “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” bumper stickers, yard signs, and postcards.

They have received thousands of dollars in donations for highway billboards that they have been putting up.

The campaign has also generated loads of traffic for their website. Their petition to demand that Barack release his long-form birth certificate has over 400,000 signatures.

Yet after browsing their site moments ago, I learned that Barack has penned a letter to Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii–calling it “the place of my birth.” Though the reputable myth-buster Snopes.com and even Barack’s own website, MyBarackObama.com, has stated that Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu was the President’s place of birth.

WND also has a post stating that in the last thirty days Hawaii has changed their state’s policy concerning the short-form birth certificate, which was made available to people born outside their state. Now they say it is acceptable as veritable proof of Hawaiian birth.

It’s all just a little too fishy.

Maybe WND is doing a great service to the people? What do you think?

Update: Snopes.com, MyBarackObama.com, and other sites have just changed the President’s place of birth from Queen’s Medical Center to Kapi’olani Medical Center.

So at the very least WND’s efforts helped Obama and these sites get that little tidbit corrected.
