Where's the baptismal certificate?

I'm not sure what to make about the controversy over President Obama's birth certificate. The issue continues to dominate because there is something "alien" about the president: his values are not mine or yours. Yesterday, he did something -- that is to say, he omitted to do something -- that once more brings out his alienation from American ways. It seems he did not issue the usual presidential proclamation regarding Easter, even though he never neglects other such prominent holidays (especially Muslim ones).

At a press conference today, his press secretary laughed off the absence of a proclamation, saying the president had gone to church with his family, "in a very high-profile way," thereby showing Americans that he is a "devoted Christian." Interesting that "very high-profile way."

I have my doubt about his devotion. I don't care about his birth certificate. I want to see his baptismal certificate. Has President Obama ever been baptized?
