Not all states have long/short forms, but you do need a passport and to get that you have to have a birth certificate. As long as it is from the state where you were born it doesn't matter the length of the form.
A long-form birth certificate usually contains more information than a standard birth certificate. A standard birth certificate is sometimes only an abstract of the information contained in the original filing. The long form may be a photocopy of the original filing on special paper. The long form may contain such additional details such as the name of the doctor that delivered you, the exact time of birth, the address(es) and occupations of the parents, whether this is the mother's first child, where the parents were born, the name and location of the hospital where the child was born.
The "long certificate" proves that Barack Obama was born in the US.

No, a birth certificate is NOT a proof of your identity: it is basically a proof of where and when you were born.

A short form birth certificate from Hawaii is acceptable proof of birth and citizenship when applying for a US passport, but a short form birth certificate from California or Texas is not.
