Certificate of Live Birth for Barack Obama

Rumors on the Internet have been flying around fast and furious that Barack Obama is not qualified to be President of the United States because he has not yet produced a real Birth certificate with his name: Barack Obama.  Some people claim that Barack Obama's Birth certificate/certificate of live birth has either been forged, tampered with or in some way been altered. There has been speculation that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya, and that because of this he cannot constitutionally be President (the constitution has 3 qualifications for presidency: you must be at least 35 years old, be born in the United States and have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years)

Now after seeing this "conspiracy " rise to a crescendo, I decided to look into the facts myself and see if I could come up with some real evidence that indeed Barack Obama has a Birth Certificate or evidence of his birth place.

Political reporters over at FactCheck have done a good job on this story and I think they have presented some of the best  information on Barack Obama, and as for me, I am convinced that the controversy over Barack Obama's birth certificate/certificate of live birth is just that - a conspiracy that has no merit. ( and this is coming from a conspiracy theorist - so I always look on both sides of the fence and try not to "assume" anything)

Now for the naysayers, don't you think that The Powers That Be check into these things too before someone runs for President of the United States? I mean come on now, how long has Mr. Barack Obama been a senator?

Don't you think that if it was that easy to misrepresent yourself about your birth that we'd have every Tom, Dick and Harry running for positions in high places ???

Barack Obama's Certificate of Live Birth

So after reading some interesting forums threads that Barack Obama has not produced an original Birth Certificate and that somehow he is hiding facts surrounding the birth certificate, I have provided links to the original stories and pictures of Obama's Certificate of Live Birth (Hawaii's short form for a Birth Certificate). Please take a look at the links below that not only show multiple copies and views of Barack Obama's Birth certificate but also show an original copy of the Birth Announcement of Barack Obama's birth in an Hawaiian newspaper.

Then please come back here and tell me we have a conspiracy on our hands.....

( And if this turns out to be wrong I'll wear a tinfoil hat on Election Week!)

Birth Announcement of Barack Obama

This is a copy of the newspaper announcement published when Barack Obama was born in Honolulu

A Huge Conspiracy Involving Multiple Agencies?

So folks for those that want to keep that tin-foil hat on insisting that Obama's Birth Certificate is a fake, just remember how many people would have had to conspire to forge Barack Obama's Birth Certificate:as one site mentioned, this is what would have needed to happen for this to be a conspiracy:

If this document is forged, a U.S. senator and his presidential campaign have perpetrated a vast, long-term fraud. They have done it with conspiring officials at the Hawaii Department of Health, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies.

Now do you really think that all of these agencies have conspired against the people of the United States to alter Barack Obama's original birth certificate? And don't you think that if there was any merit to this supposed conspiracy that McCains camp would be climbing all over this story?

Come on now and let's get on with the election!

( and yes I guess you can tell who I'm voting for, but I'm OK with you disagreeing - That's Politics! )

Well done for all the research.  I'd seen the certificate but with the ref number blanked out.  The interesting thing about all this controversy is that nobody in government ever questioned his citizenship.  So allot of hot air for some and I suppose it passed the time for many. 

Pacwriter - I dared to watch, why did I bother? You must be kidding if you take this man's word for anything. He's a sensationalist wacko who needs to get a day job.

You know that the really weird thing is that it matters? I had no idea that you had to be born in the US to be president (does it apply to other politicians too). Its incredibly racist if you think about: being a citizen seems reasonable (though you don't have to be in NZ) - but being born there? I thought the US was born of immigration: there appears to have been no debate about just how racist and silly this law actually is! Same with the being 35 if you think about it: thats ageist. Now what about a law that they mustn't have a criminal record: that might make some sense!

Thanks everyone for the comments- I am voting for Obama because I think he is what we need right now in a president- and I think alot of this crud about the birth certificate is being done as a smear campaign- and I think it's pure hogwash. And the people that are making this birth certificate a big deal- I think if we looked into their background they have a very hidden agenda. Just my 2 cents- and like I said in my hub- THAT'S POLITICS!

Last night my friend just found out about how Presidents have to be born in the US, or born abroad to parents who are US citizens.  Another stipulation is the person also has to have lived in the US for fourteen years straight, which is an interesting number.  However, to answer Lissie question only the president and vice president have to be born in the US, or to parents who are US citizens. Hopefully one day there will be an amendment where any citizen can run for president because many of us Americans feel it should be this way.  I really would not want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger be president, but I do agree with his point that qualified naturalized American citizens should be allowed to run.

Everyone I know is voting for Obama at this point. We are tired of McCain's side shows.

The point the guy in the video makes that I found interesting was about the adoption and surrender of American citizenship.

It is also interesting that Obama did not release the birth certificate - investigators for Fact check and snopes sought it out. Obama continually stonewalls about any personal infromation. The standards people hold up for Mccain don't seem to apply to Obama.

It is not racism not to trust a man who blocks and hides information from public scrutiny. Hillary and Bill did the same sort of things and it drives people to question "what are they hiding".

I would love to know of something OBAMA HAS WRITTEN BESIDE HIS TWO BOOKS. Nothing from his college years has ever surfaced. Nothing from Havard Law review. No thesis, no papers of any kind!! Why? What's he hiding?

Any of you Obama supporters have access to any of his papers?

I think there are so many questions about Senator Obama's place of birth and whether he became a citizen of another country later on or has had dual citizenship all his life (according to one of his own websites I believe) that rather than showing a picture of the birth certificate in question to us (who are not in the business of verifying documents,) there ought to be an official judicial or executive government statement that in fact, Senator Obama was born in a particular hospital in the USA (or at home at a particular address), and that the document in question really is legit; i.e., the certificate number jibes with numbers assigned at the time, etc. In other words, the Hawaiian vital records need to be checked by someone other than vague "powers that be" who are referenced in this article- by some one person or organization we know (CIA, Home Security, FBI, a known and respected lawyer or judge, etc) who will attest to the validity. Then this thing can go away. OR, MR OBAMA CAN SIMPLY PRESENT HIS B.C. TO THE PA COURT, AS REQUESTED BY ATTY BERG A LONG TIME AGO, so the Court can check it.

Or, heaven forbid, are we saying that no matter what the facts are, Senator will become and remain our President because his persona is above our Constitution.

Nice work, Dorsi. The racists and the right wingers are grabbing at straws, as usual. They're not often swayed by the facts, but I'm glad you gathered the facts here for all to see. About the requirements for president, I think it would be a bad idea to go tinkering with amending the Constitution. I think too many Americans today would vote to do away with the Bill of Rights.

thats not his originnal birth certificate it was issued to be a phony and photoshopped and he refuses to give it to a judge to make sure it's authentic.

thats why berg a democrat from his own party is suing him.him and the dnc refuse to show a birth certificate in person.

lissie mccain had to show his birth certificate cause even he has a american hero was questioned about where he was born.and if barack obama's birth certificate he is showing online is real then whats the big deal on showing a judge to clarify it tobe a real one?it's werid he wont show only people who have something to hide would make someone sue you to get something out of you,and still let time expire and still hasn't provided a bc in person.if burgerking does background checks why shouldn't being president require the same standards?

Judge rejects Montco lawyer's bid to have Obama removed from ballot By MICHAEL HINKELMAN

Philadelphia Daily News hinkelm@phillynews.com 215-854-2656

A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot. Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Berg claimed that the Democratic presidential standardbearer is not even an American citizen but a citizen of Indonesia and therefore ineligible to be president. He alleged that if Obama was permitted to run for president and subsequently found to be ineligible, he and other voters would be disenfranchised. U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick had denied Berg's request for a temporary restraining order on Aug. 22 but had not ruled on the merits of the suit until yesterday.

Obama and the Democratic National Committee had asked Surrick to dismiss Berg's complaint in a court filing on Sept. 24. They said that Berg's claims were "ridiculous" and "patently false," that Berg had "no standing" to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for president because he had not shown the requisite harm to himself. Surrick agreed. In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg's allegations of harm were "too vague and too attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters. Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

yes, as the african american person said, its just passive racism. The opposition knows the birth certificate is fine. They're just dragging this shit out as a desperate measure to get semi-ignorant white people who have put themselves in Obama's camp back into theirs just in time to cast their ballot.

White guy: Gee, I was gonna vote for Obama, because the current guys have f***ed everything up and McCain seems to be pretty much 90% like them, and besides he has this dumb hot chick as the VP and MILF though she is, I'm not totally confortable with that. But OTOH Obama is at least half one of "those people" (code for black people) and they have their own agenda and they would wipe us out if they could, oh his birth certificate might be fake? Yeah that's the kind of thing those people would do. OK, I'm back to voting for one of our own. He sucks but at least I know what I'm getting.

In Ohio, they're trying to bar new voters if there is even a typo discrepancy.

So, once and for all, HAS a real, legitimate birth certificate for Barack Obama been presented?

Howard  says:
13 months ago

The Obama document is a Certification of Live Birth. This is not to be confused with the longer Certificate of Live Birth that has the hospital name and doctor/witnesses signature. If Obama was born in Hawaii, they have a filed copy of the longer Certificate of Live Birth. They do not normally give that out because it takes longer to find/copy and certify that than it does to print a Certification of Live Birth from archived data. Most places will take the Certification of Live Birth as all the documentation they need. You can get your longer Certificate of Live Birth (in spite of the miss information on "Factcheck.org" that there is nor box to request it.) In the box for "reason," you write for Depart. of Homeland Security. They want the longer version because the shorter one does not contain enough data. Obama has failed to do this. Why? He has 600 million in campaign funds donated to him. Money can not be an object. An additional note is- you could have gotten a shorter Certification of Live Birth in Hawaii in the early 1960's even if you were not born there. It was a service they provided for people who lived in Hawaii for at least one year before the birth (as I understand it.) That is why the Department of Homeland security does not want the short version. They have to spend a lot of time investigating the other details to verify you are actually who you claim to be.

Nice work!

I am tired of the Republican attacks on Obama.  they want the office but they do not want to change.   As lawmakers they are accustomed to getting their way. Tough.

I was very much against Bush from the beginning.  Gore was elected and were it not for the phony voting machine tactics and the supreme court handing the presidency to a poseur, the world would be far different today.

Clinton was a good president.  He knew the folly of trying to fight in the middle east.  So he was labeled as do nothing.  The masses were whipped into a frenzy over something probably every house member has done, as if it is so terrible. Do you think the youth of America went wrong because Clinton and his girlfriend got busy on company time?

I know I paid a price for coming out early on against Bush.  One time I was in a heated discussion on a Yahoo site about the war and a yahoo worker suddenly was in my face and questioning my patriotism.  And I served three years, my last year was as a guest of the VA hospital.  From now on, if a war is voted for, the sons or daughters of those who voted favorably should be made to serve first.

Finally people have awakened to the real threat in the U.S. I was opposed to the trampling on the constitution by the patriot act. I am also in favor of Bush facing a judge and jury, or for him, his own brand of justice, which is a military court.  I will never understand how little men can  convince themselves they are above the law, simply because people were tricked into voting for them.

I am no hero.  The three years I spent in the army while my peers got a headstart on their careers by finishing college ahead of me I could never make up. I still feel like I'm behind, I had to retire early because of my injury and because of poor care by the VA. Because I complained, they put the screws to me royally.

This country is not what it was because of the insane obsession by a special interest group with war. there is tremendous pressure from the military and from defense contractors to get us into war.  Military cannot promote soldiers in peacetime.  Defense contractors can't make any money.

Bush was never good enough for his "genuine hero" father. How could he live up to his old man's legacy?  Especially when the old man was pulling for son Jeb to run for the presidency.  

The lesson hasn't really taken with many voters. Almost half still think the old man, McCain would be a good president.  He has shown time and again he has no temperment for the office of president.  He angers easily, undoubtly because of his war wounds. Which is why he shouldn't be running. It would only be a matter of time before he started pain meds to deal with all the stress. I applaud his patriotism and his time in a prison camp.  He is a hero. But it takes much more than that in this "new" world. I hope the voter machines don't  favor one over another this time. What could or would we do?

Keep up the excellent work.

Right or wrong, I believe that Obama will be this country next President! However, if this is a real issue, then it should be looked into by someone who is not an Obama or McCain supporter. I have heard that the Kenya government has sealed the records about this supposed birth. This leads me to wonder why a government would seal records about an issue that never happened in their country. Another thing, if there is nothing true to this claim, then why is the info not being released to reassure people. This story ahs been in the news for four months, and almost no major news outlets have picked it up. I wonders why. One last thing, Obama was born in 1961, so perhaps the rules where a little loser back in those days. If this is a false or true issue, they should answer it, even though I can see the political reasons not to. If it does prove to be true, then this will show that he is just like almost every other politician out there.

WebScout  says:
13 months ago

Even in 1961 - Race would not be listed as "AFRICAN". If you accept that bogus information about Barack is being circulated on the Internet, then you should look at your own post and consider it the same type of fodder.

He should answer to a court of law with full documentation. If your employer demands that you have a drug test, and you refuse, you can be let go because of "assumed admission of guilt" by not submitting to the drug test. If you are clean, what do you have to hide?

So Obama, IF YOU ARE A CLEAN-BORN AMERICAN, WHY ARE YOU HIDING?

Republicans aren't the only ones grasping on to rumors and inuendo. Democrats are doing the same thing. Everyone will show ANYTHING whether it is fake or not - just to prove they are right.

i'm not believing this or anything else unless it comes through a court of law and is examined by officials in charge of Public records that make an official statement.

Ethel Merman the actress and singer from the 30’s (“There's No Business Like Show Business” film/song) has really punctuated and highlighted our national politics today as with our media blitz-glitz. It’s now more in the realm of ‘Show Biz” and personalities/race/gender than ever before and less about the issues! Obama, in Chicago on Election Day is planning a huge rally/victory party of over a million invited guests outdoors in Grant Park. It seems his presidency will be the most “entertainment” orientated one ever. With the nomination rally in a Denver football stadium in August setting the stage. And now this! The city of Chicago has most of the plans and construction already completed for this upcoming victory party extraviganza. Everything is in place already. Someone (like Oprah, with her high-priced psychics) knows he’s going to win! So some of the Republican racists are looking at any avenue they can travel to side-rail B.O. with things like the Birth Certificate issue. Back to Ethel, lol, “There’s No Business Like Show Business” should be Obama’s theme song. Of course his type of hype can get some irked, I agree. Anyway in the 30’s Ethel was popular, but her colleague at the time, singer Kate Smith had another popular record/radio song called “That’s Why the Darkies Were Born” OMG, racist to say the least! Read the lyrics below, you decide. Even Groucho Marx in “Duck Soup” had a “Darkie” joke. So now, some jealous Republicans want to spoil Obama’s party in a less entertaining way than Ms. Smith’s. Maybe Kate Smith is Karl Rove’s granny? Lol! I always get Kate and Ethel mixed up! But Karl, one of a kind sleaze-ball! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That's_Why_Darkies_We

The proper authorities would have picked up on it. I't's not like an application for a credit card. And since his father was, after all, African, since he was from AFRICA, that's more likely what would have been recorded. Taking these two things into account, even if his father wasn't a full US citizen, but his mother WAS, then he is still, born in the US and naturalized, a US Citizen, and therefore eligible for the Presidency. Which he won. Fairly I might add.

“...be born in the United States and have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years).”

Ok, did he return to Kenya and attend school there and if so how long? He could’ve been born here, but if his mother went to Kenya and renounced her citizenship and she had her son with her and enrolled him into a Kenyan school. Guess what? He isn’t a citizen if the United States!

I find it interesting how Obama slips through every single inquiry into his citizenship, associations (William Ayers, Wright, etc.).

Obama claims to be a “Christian”, yet he believes and preaches abortion on demand.

Obama claims to be a “Christian”, yet he attends a church for 20 years that preaches hate instead of the true word YaHWeH.

Obama claims to be a “Christian”, yet he has never (to my knowledge) renounced his faith in Islam.

If McCain or Baldwin paled around with a known terrorist (Ayers) they would have been raked across the coals by the shame-stream media.

If McCain or Baldwin refused to produce a birth certificate proving citizenship they would have been raked across the coals by the shame-stream media. 

If McCain or Baldwin refused to properly salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance they would have been raked across the coals by the shame-stream media. Obama is an US senator. He knows what the pledge of allegiance is and how it is to be done properly. He can not fain ignorance in this. His actions are inexcusable.

If McCain or Baldwin talked about “spreading the wealth” they would have been branded socialists and they would have been raked across the coals by the shame-stream media.

If McCain or Baldwin made any overtures to raising taxes during good economic times they would have been raked across the coals by the shame-stream media. If either of them even mentioned an inkling of raising taxes during this economic upheaval they would have been crucified by the shame-stream media.

Obmam's talk is not new. He’s using this economic disaster to bring about a socialist / communistic movement an eventually a complete take over of our constitutional representative republic. (No people we are not a democracy. We are a republic. See Article 4, section 4 of the Constitution for the United states)

This was not an election of informed people. This is a coup led by an intelligent individual with his own agenda leading the ignorant down the path of destruction.   

"Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence." [Emphasis mine]

Yes, we do live in a republic. A democratic, republic. (There ARE other forms.) And Obama didn't pale around Ayers, unless Ayers was the carrier for an infection. Additionally, if Obama isn't "Christian" enough for you, what does that matter? Hate to break it to anyone, but....the Separation clause, establishes the United States Government as a secular entity, therefore religous belief being mutually exclusive from any candidate's aptitude when running for national office.

A "CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH" is not the same thing as a hospital generated "BIRTH CERTIFICATE". A "BIRTH CERTIFICATE" provided by a hospital has information on it that include the parents signatures, the attending doctors signature and in most cases ink foot prints of the newborn. A "CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH" is a document that can be drawn up in a ledal office with information provided by the parents about the newborn. This document can be drawn up at any time after the actual birth has taken place. Obamas mother was in Kenya in the late 50s-early 60s and became pregnant with Barry in Kenya. During those years the Kenyan government did not allow pregnant women to fly commercially as to prevent mid-flight births. Barrys mother had to have given birth to him in Kenya which makes him the son of a Kenyan national, his father being the determining factor of the childs nationality under Kenyan law.

Barrys mother, after giving birth, flew with him to Hawaii, sought out the proper legal office and gave fraudulent information provided on his "CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH". No documents of proof need to be provided, only the information given by the parents is required along with a signature stating that all the information is truthful. As for the newspaper announcement of Barrys birth, it appeared several weeks after the date that he was born; not a day, not a week, but after Barrys mother had all the tracks covered to show that Barry (born in Kenya) was some how born again in Hawaii on the same date she gave birth to him in Kenya.

There are too many unanswered questions about Obama that will eventually have to be answered. Once they are brought out, Obama will be required to step down from the office that he aquired by defrauding the U.S. government. Criminal charges will follow.

Rely on pro-Obama sites? They didn't research and report, they acted as free PR agents for Obama. Do you think we are all fools?

People with common sense do not spend more than a million dollars to keep a document out of the public eye if they have nothing to conceal. It's that simple. Obama has no respect for either the law or the people of this country. The DNC certainly would not have speent hundreds of thousand of dollars fighting the lawsuits if there was nothing to hide.

You're so smart, you've lost all common sense in your partisanship.

Leah- I would love a link to that claim that Obama has spent a million dollars to conceal his birth certificate. Last I heard was even the Hawaiian Admin had verified his original. Google it - as far as the government is concerned they are satisified. I don't know what other evidence is needed, especially after officials have claimed it's a valid birth cert.

The BC vs COLB issue is probably bogus. Obama may not want the original BC released for personal reasons, perhaps his mother did not give birth in a hospital and he knows this would add fuel to the fire as to where he was actually born. The odd thing about the address given in the newspaper is that this address was not where Obama SR was living - he was in a student dorm at UH. Also it was probably not where Sydney was living, this is a 5 bedroom house built in 1948 and today is worth a million. Was Sydney renting a room? She could have been with her parents - but they were in an Apartment. Given the fact that Sydney was back in Washington State at the end of August 1961 after she gave birth, this whole BC issues seems weird. The other weird issue is that Obama Sr. was 5' 10" while Obama Jr. is 6' 2" and he doesn't even look like Obama Sr. So who is his real father?

Lies, lies, and more lies. Reasonable people who have checked out both sides realize there are serious problems with Obama's birth certificate, school records, and Selective Service Registration. And any reasonable attempt to find the truth will reveal that the whole truth has not been told. Further, any fair and reasonable effort to explain why the naysayers are wrong would include their reasons for believing Obama is a fraud, and explain why that's not true. But no, once again we are simply force fed the same old lies and misinformation. Shame on you, Dorsi.

With less than a week before Obama's scheduled inauguration, there are several lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility before the Supreme Court. But the mainstream media refuses to report the truth. Shame on the mainstream media.

And shame on the American people for letting this happen.

First of all the document shown is not a BIRTH CERTIFICATE. A birth certificate would have been issued by the hospital with the name of the attending doctor, and witnesses; ie the nurses and other information.

All this document is, is a piece of paper that states that you were born alive. It does not confer citizenship on you. Read the top of the document -- CERTIFICATION OF LIVE BIRTH.

For all of you that recently attacked this article that I wrote about MY thoughts on Obamas Birth Certificate (Certificate of Live Birth) I suggest you take this up with the officials over in Hawaii who have verified that the certificate of live birth is vaild, and also take it up with the US government who seem to be satisfied with the President elects evidence of birth here in the US, and let the Supreme Court do their job if there is indeed a "conspiracy". Also go to FactCheck and tell them they are also perpetrating a fraud after examining the official documents.

Geezz....talk about attacking the messenger. This is an article about MY thoughts, and what I have found. Do whatever you want in your own blog. Geeez........

And again: keep what I wrote in my article in mind- once again here:

If this document is forged, a U.S. senator and his presidential campaign have perpetrated a vast, long-term fraud. They have done it with conspiring officials at the Hawaii Department of Health, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies.

Thanks Countrywomen for stopping by. Yes, incredibly, this battle over Obamas birth certificate rages on. Apparently there are people that still believe there is a huge conspiracy among government officials to hide the facts. I just don't know how much more evidence they need. There will still be battles raging about this for quite sometime. Could this be a huge conspiracy? Probably not based on facts provided by officials that have examined the documents (government officials) Is it possible this is a huge fabrication? Anything is possible but the idea that various agencies are conspiring to hide the truth does not seem feasible. I think it's more likely that there are some people that just can't accept the fact that Barack Obama is going to be the President and they will fight for whatever they can to raise doubts about anything Obama does at this point.

If the Supreme Court finds evidence of wrongdoing I'm sure it will come out there, and not at this forum.

I agree with Howard above. If you study the way the Hawaii Constitution was written at that time, you learn that you did not have to be a natural born citizen to obtain a certificate of live birth in Hawaii. But on the other hand, we have to deal with that small little Newspaper announcement of his birth. What I would love to hear is living testimony from people who were present in Hawaii at the time of his birth, they could testify yea or nay. With technology as it is today, you would be somewhat foolish to take any document as being authentic.

Personally I feel that when the Constitution was drafted we had no way of knowing just how many US citizens would be born on military bases in the future. You cannot take away the right to be President when their parents were serving this country.

As for Barack's particular case this subject came up before the election and the voters were not concerned. They have spoken and this should be the end of it.

Actually Fact.org did a poor job. They admit to verifying a "COPY" of the certificate. The folks down in Hawaii contend the original is not available and don't give a reason. Only absolute proof can be obtained from the original. This is what the controversy is all about.

This is not to say the copy isn't correct. But every other candidate for president had to produce an original. Obama was given a free pass here. Besides, that live birth certificate is missing some information like where the birth took place.

Fact.org is a nice starting point but they are not very good in the verification department. After they go to the source their job ends. They certainly don't seem to evaluate, compare, or look into the history of a given event to determine if the source is truly honest.

**READ THIS FOR THE REAL FACTS**

People, people, people. Listen up and let me educate you on some Citizenship 101.

Don't be so desparate for this Obama fairy tale that you will LIE to yourself!!

I researched this THOROUGHLY and here are the facts:

Obama has only shown a CERTIFICATION OF LIVE BIRTH. The official "vault version", or long version, is a CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH. The Certificate shows the doctor, hospital, and all detailed info (see one here: http://snarkybytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ Mind you we are talking 1961 here and Hawaii became a state in 1959. CERTIFICATIONS are NO LONGER issued (as on 1972) because they are worthless. You CANNOT even enroll your child into little league with one (i know someone who tried).

Don't believer me?

Obama has everyone fooled into thinking that this proves his birthplace. He is using the Certification because it only lists generic information and has the Hawaii on it. As usual, he know the average person is not educated enough to know the difference. This will not be the only trick he has pulled.

Birth announcement: Anyone can put an ad in the paper. Big deal. Obamas own sister actually said Barack was born in one hospital and he said another. His own grandmother is on tape saying he was born in Mombasa Kenya.

So, the document on this site is worthless. And if you buy into it, you are in for a huge disappointment down the road. The truth will come out someday its just a matter of when.

Oh yeah, and how did obama travel to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport in 1981? don't believe me, read his book! Everything i use is from him or what is missing.

Food for thought: Obama and the DNC have spent over $1 million in legal fees to avoid having to provide a birth certificate. Why not just pay the $15, get a copy, and shut everyone up. Action speak louder than anything.

Glad we now have everyone on the same page. Dorsi, back to the drawing board. I will be REALLY surprised if this post stays up and is not censored like Obama does everyone he dislikes. The liberals have sensitive ears.

Agreed. However, I was addressing the misinformation on your site. I understand many don't have the time or desire to research this stuff - which what Obama is counting on. But, what you called "real evidence" and "real proof" was nothing more than a regurgitation of liberal media and not objective fact-finding.

Obama HAS NOT provided a Certifacte of Live Birth, only a Certification, which proves nothing. Obama has millions, including you, fooled into thinking that the document on his site and Fact Check proves his citizenship.Fact Check, an Annenberg company, had Obama sitting on its board at one time - real objective reporting there.

I will credit Obama with seizing the ripe opportunity to rally the poor and uneducated masses into believe his message of "change". Sadly enough, they didn't even know what they were voting for. One poll showed that many didn't even know the name of his running mate!

In four years the voters will be begging for a new president. Obama will get a first hand taste of what Bush went through. An uneducated majority that blames all of their shortcomings on one man. Unfortunately, this uneducated majority is what we will be forced to cater to as we head down the path to becoming a third world country.

A Certificate (or Certification) of Live Birth was instituted in Hawaii when it went from being a US territory to an actual state. EVERYONE was issued a Certificate (or Certification) of Live Birth because so many people were born elsewhere (Japan, the Philippines, etc.) A Certificate of Live Birth is not a Birth Certificate and does not state the original place of birth. If you wanted to become a citizen of the US you were eventually issued a Certificate (or Certification) of Live Birth, no matter from where you had emigrated. The real question here is: Why doesn't Obama himself clear up this controversy?

Ralph Deeds made a comment 8 months ago where he quotes a u.s. district judge who said that Philip J. Burg's allegation that Obama was not eligible to run for president caused harm was too "vague" and "attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters

Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot. Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Berg claimed that the Democratic presidential standardbearer is not even an American citizen but a citizen of Indonesia and therefore ineligible to be president. He alleged that if Obama was permitted to run for president and subsequently found to be ineligible, he and other voters would be disenfranchised. U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick had denied Berg's request for a temporary restraining order on Aug. 22 but had not ruled on the merits of the suit until yesterday. Obama and the Democratic National Committee had asked Surrick to dismiss Berg's complaint in a court filing on Sept. 24. They said that Berg's claims were "ridiculous" and "patently false," that Berg had "no standing" to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for president because he had not shown the requisite harm to himself. Surrick agreed. In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg's allegations of harm were "too vague and too attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters. Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

A Certificate (or Certification) of Live Birth was instituted in Hawaii when it went from being a US territory to an actual state.

My take on the matter after reading all of the comments here is "Obama as well as others around him the situation in Hawaii and used it to confuse the facts,and make it difficult but not impossible to find out the truth.If yoo are persistant the truth will come out.

The problem is he is president already,and can do what he wants ,even arrest you for trying to bring out the truth,if it will hurt him.He is not alone .I can see that.

If you think you really have a choice for president

other than what you are given to pick from ,I have an immaginary bridge I can sell you.

Certificates of live birth were common place in Hawaii during 1961. Let's see his long form. Let's see his school records that show him applying for foreign student aid. He should not be opposing any of the lawsuits that are continuing to come his way if he has nothing to hide. His team is putting up quite a fight though.

The fact is that he does have something to hide. He's a man without a country, owned by the international bankers like Soros, and that's why he doesn't care if the jobless rate hits 20%. That would help him accomplish his goals of making us all slaves of the state. Government health care is cruel and cheapens life, but that's what we should expect with the eugenics movement and Darwinism shoved down our throats for so long.

Shame on people for supporting this imposter. He quotes the Bible about protecting the innocent, but supports killing people that can't speak for themselves, the unborn. My Messiah died on the cross and wasn't elected cult leader in chief. George Bush's second term was very bad and is a representation of how compromising your principles pisses everyone off.

Now-a-days, it's blatantly obvious that it doesn't matter anymore if you are Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatnot. This is an ethical and moral issue. A politician either chooses to sell out to the people we never see, bankers, lobbyists, money men, etc, or they don't. We have been sold a bill of goods and I want the country to get a refund.

We all see how weak he is when it comes to international affairs, but he's more than willing to drop the hammer on Christians, pro-lifers and others who don't swallow his Kool-Aid. When he gives a speech, it's for his own benefit, not for the audience or even the U.S. I didn't see Michelle in Cairo. The reason is that she wouldn't be able to run around in her sleeveless outfits and would have to cover up. We are spoiled with our rights and think every other country thinks the same. How naive!

Obama respects dictators and tyrants. He thinks the same way. All his mentors and cohorts were Communists, socialists and outright terrorists. His preacher is/was a racist, white-hating bigot. White racism is alive and well and en vogue. Millions of Americans are slaves to their own minds. Most of the roadblocks we perceive are constructed in our own minds. Nobody alive has ever been a slave nor has been a slave master. This is the white guilt phenomenon and it needs to stop because it is not healthy for our country.

Obama got elected not because he was that great. Lord knows other than having a movie star personality, there's nothing on the resume. He was elected because the country was tired of president Bush, McCain was weak and he was the perfect affirmative action and white guilt candidate.

The first amendment is in our Constitution not to protect polite speech, but impolite speech. Polite speech does not need protection. With political correctness the gospel of our day, any disagreement of the validity of Obama's presidency, the myth of carbon dioxide killing the planet, etc. is considered so called "hate speech."

I agree with General Patton when he said that if everyone is thinking the same, someone isn't thinking. I pray that sooner, not later, the country snaps out of the Obama spell. He doesn't walk on water, can't heal the sick, nor can he lower the sea levels. Being a verbal rapist, adament about killing God's children and having a white mother aren't qualifications to be president.

There are many serious and objective comments here about the genuine doubts surrounding this president you have elected to govern your country. It has nothing to do with racism because there are many blacks who have profound misgivings too. There is also some very serious and possibly very damning evidence against him where these doubts are concerned.

Those of you who support BO make only frivolous comments in return. This is not a very convincing manner in which to deal with the problems and doubts. Why has BO paid out over one million and a half dollars to keep various documents about his origins from the public scrutiny (what is there to hide?); why is it that Ayers wrote his book "Dreams from My Father" and he has hidden this fact (who wrote his other stories about his life); why does he try to steamroller his health bill through the legislative while denying the facts contained therein about abortion as health care, fines and possible imprisonment for non-contribution to the nationalised scheme, removal of personal choice, pressure on the elderly to submit to euthanasia counselling etc etc? Read the legislation & its implications, it is all there. The list has become disconcertingly long so soon into his term in office.

Those of you who adulate this man and who unquestioningly support his every move, like the hyppereal, superficial media that is in America these days, do a disservice to democracy long term. You do an even greater disservice to countless men and women who have given their lives to protect the freedoms we have enjoyed up to now. You are giving a highly flawed person (like most politicians) too much room for manoeuvre when you should be placing his every mode of conduct under close objective scrutiny. You all place too much naive faith in his abilities which are already heavily exposed for what they are - over-committed to specific interest groups (ACORN for example implicated in criminal activities) and very inexperienced with no clear picture of past achievement in the proper sense of the term. You are in danger of turning the man into a dictator surrounded by unelected & irresponsible high officials whose sole interest is to perpetuate the industrial-military complex but to an even more highly centralised degree. It is time, ladies and gentlemen, to stop supercilious mocking of those who are critical in their appraisal and make a sincere effort to come to terms with some rapidly emerging realities. BO is not capable of offering you or your nation salvation - he is merely a dangerous continuation of what has been going on in USA for the best part of a generation. You are abandoning the invaluable checks and balances of the American system of government for one that is dominated by the executive and this can only have one predictable outcome.

Dorsi says: ..."(the constitution has 3 qualifications for presidency: you must be at least 35 years old, be born in the United States and have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years)"...

The US Constitution says: "No person except a natural born Citizen, ... shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Barack Hussein Obama II, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, an on that date an original long form birth certificate was initiated by hospital staff. Since 1961, Hawaii has gone digital, and now produces a computer generated, laser-printed document, on continuous-feed computer forms. However, the original paper records from 1961, were not destroyed, and remain accessible, if only by final court order, under seal per Executive Order 13489—Presidential Records. The document displayed on FactCheck, is misleading in its reliability to verify a person meets the natural born Citizen clause of the US Constitution. "American citizen by birth", and a "natural born US citizen", are two different entities, both sharing equal rights, but only one being eligible to be POTUS. Those born of the blood OR the soil, are USA citizens. Those born of the blood AND the soil, are USA Natural Born Citizens eligible for POTUS. Immigrants are aliens who carry a passport and obey the laws. Illegal aliens don't have a passport, and don't obey the laws. Aliens do not have a birth right of USA citizenship. An alien is not subject to the Jurisdiction of the USA, as they are traveling under a passport, except both an illegal alien and an alien under passport, have not relinquished bonds to their homeland, nor established allegiance to the USA, and the citizenship of the mother transfers to the minor child. Aliens can run to or call on their consulates or Embassy, for help, since they owe allegiance to and are subject to the jurisdiction of laws and treaties, of their homeland, not the USA. A child born to an alien mother, with no known USA citizen father, on USA soil, really should not be a USA citizen, since the parent is subject to foreign jurisdiction, and has not established allegiance to the USA. Senator Barack H. Obama II, by virtue of birth to a USA citizen and an alien, on USA soil, is a USA citizen, but not a NBC, thus ineligible to be a candidate for the election of a US president. Complicit in this saga is Nancy Pelosi, since she, as senior executive, signed the two versions of the DNC nominee certifications, which were mailed to the 50 states -- one version sent to 49 states omitted the constitutional requirement phrase. Thus Nancy Pelosi defrauded a nation, by depriving the citizens of proper representation by the elected government; therefore We the People have standing for a court case, being brought by Dr. Orly Taitz. There is no birther conspiracy, or party politics, or racial motivation, but there exists a quest to validate the Constitution of the USA. At this point, I request you drop all pretense of denial, stop protecting the man known as Barack Hussein Obama II, and join in defending the Constitution.

Dorsi, Good Article. I have a copy of Obama's birth certificate. He was born with a dual citizenship, one of the U.S. and one from Kenya from his father, as was sandard in Africa. He didn't claim his citizenship in KENYA. He only used his American Citizenship. People are prejudice, and I believe will always be prejudice. They prefer blonds over brunettes, blue eyes over brown. It is personal preference. Ivy League school over a standard university, and so on. I think that he had a tremendous undertaking, and under the circumstances doing quite well. He took over a job that the previous President had taken the US down to depression! People don't like changes! Never did and never will!
