The Buzz about Barack’s Birth Certificate
michellemalkin.com ^ | June 10, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/10/2008 10:11:40 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Jim Geraghty takes a look at longstanding blog buzz over Barack Obama’s birth certificate, which the campaign refused to release to the St. Petersburg Times in April:

We tried to obtain a copy of Obama’s birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.

Has anyone seen it? Why shouldn’t the record be in the public domain for presidential candidates?

Geraghty walks through various rumors now circulating in the wake of the Obama campaign’s birth certificate blackout, including this one:

Rumor Three: His mother did not want to name him after his father, and his birth certificate says “Barry.” Perhaps the most plausible of the rumors, as Obama was known by that name through much of his childhood and young adulthood. If true, this would spur a new round of “When Barry Became Barack” stories – a minor headache for the campaign, but hardly a major scandal.

Lest the Obama campaign start whining about this issue being an unfair “distraction,” John McCain underwent intense scrutiny of his citizenship status because of his birth in the Panama Canal zone, leading the Senate to declare him a natural-born citizen in April.

I think it's the last name that's problematic.  Originally it was OBombThem.

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. But the libs always survive from the benefits of an UNLEVEL playing field — this issue is no exception. IMHO, if Hussein cannot verify his birth records, he should be disqualified from running for President.

From something I read somewhere (I have no idea if it’s true) there was a question not as to his name but as to his place of birth. They speculated that he was born in Kenya. Again, take that with a large grain of salt.

If he was born in Hawaii in 1961 to his American citizen mother...then the case is closed regarding his legal ability to run for President as a natural-born citizen..

If, OTOH, as some assert and as some newspapers in Kenya reported, he was born in Kenya and then spirited off to the US...that is another matter. But that will be difficult if not impossible to prove and will lead to a lot of heavy blow back by the DNC, the MSM, and all his adoring idolaters.

but, if prrof were forthcoming, it would be a bombshell because then he may well be disqualified. THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Well, according to this article, which quotes unnamed American missionaries working in Kenya among his father’s tribe, his true full name is Barack Hussein MUHAMMAD Obama.

The other issue is: what if he wasn't born in 1961, but was really born before August 21, 1959 - before statehood?

Whatever happened to the “mother above age 18 living here for 10 years” theory?

I’m betting on the story that his name was Barack Hussein MUHAMMAD Obama.
