I don't recall the President stating it required "major league begging", but that a request needed to be made. Long story short, he shouldn't have had to make the request for the long form.
FWIW, anyone who applies for their birth certificate in many states (including PA) must specifically ask for the full form or for genealogical purposes to get more than that fact that they were born.
