A senior official of the McCain campaign showed a copy of [McCain’s] birth certificate to Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs.  Dobb's wrote “a senior official of the McCain campaign showed him a copy of [McCain’s] birth certificate issued by the ‘family hospital’ in the Coco Solo submarine base”.

A lawsuit filed by Fred Hollander in 2008 alleged that McCain was actually born in a civilian hospital in Colon City, Panama.

As you can see when John finally released his long form it clearly states Colon Hospital, Panama Railroad Company. This is a civilian hospital built by the French in a place not yet named as a US territory.

Yes, Birthers, there was a certificate that needed to check, but, it wasn’t Obama’s.
