Bob Velon seems to think that President Barack Obama is hiding his birth records (Reader Input, Sept. 5). His birth certificate is easily found on the Internet.

I don’t think he has to mail a copy to every citizen of the United States. It shows that he was born on Oahu, Hawaii two years after it became a state, which makes him a citizen of the U.S.

Nobody is hiding anything, Bob. Both parents do not need to be U.S. citizens.
